Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Terri O]

ask and ye shall receive,,

in 1/2 cup of warm water, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon yeast..

there are still 3 more batches in the oven, but this should give you an idea of what we were up to today..

in 1/2 cup of warm water, add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon yeast.. set aside until it foams up nicely.. prolly will take about 15 minutes..

mix together 1 egg, 1/3 cup oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar and just slightly less than one cup of milk.... beat it until the egg is well mixed with all the ingredients.. (then come back) and add exactly 2 cups of flour.. mix until everything is well mixed, then add the yeast mixture.. now add slightly less than 2 cups of flour.. mix until you have a ball of dough that is sticky to the touch, but does not stick to you..

put the dough onto a floured board and knead it until it feels like a baby's bottom..

put into a greased bowl and let it rise until about double in bulk.. (about 45 minutes)

divide the dough into (I made 15) pieces... roll each piece into a ball and place into a greased 9 x 11 cake pan..

I used grape seed oil,, you can use whatever oil you prefer...

I also use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook...

bake at 375 for about 20 minutes,, ovens differ, so yours might take longer,, or less time..

SHOOT I would go and do it for my company on Sunday but....see the words in RED...what is the yeast mixture???? TerriOthankfulforthepicturesbutnothappyabouttheincompleterecipe!andIwasallsettodoit!

OK--now for my REAL post....LOL. Carol that is all good advice on the water. I switch to Cattlemen's salt for the winter to make sure the horses etc are thirsty enough to drink enough water. Judge, it is very important to have liquid water at all times for ruminants and horses! All comes to a stop if they dont have it to drink at will! Chickens seem to be less of a problem in that area....still, I would run extension cords or get electric to their barn in some way so you can keep the water from freezing. My electric bill doesnt go up that much having the waterers heated. (and it's way less work on me)

I just had Benng come here from Milw. Sold 9 drake muskovies for $12ea. Not bad...I still have plenty for the hens. He always wants "the old ones" so I guess that is OK. Anyone else sell them? I am interested in how much you charge.

ODrH--we should have waited for this weekend...I have another 2 dozen duck eggs! Of course right? Let me know how those are developing....

I separated many pure bred hens today. I need to get them "cleared out" so I will have some pure eggs for chicks for the fair this year. I probably should have gotten them separated earlier...but I kind of spaced it. As long as I get eggs hatched by the end of Feb I should be OK. Last year my babies werent old enough to test so I had to scratch...

Speaking of...there are a few roosters that I need: a Dominique (CC's Moose?) and a Marans (what would come of Cuckoo hens mated with other that Cuckoo roos?)
I also need to know if mating my cuckoo marans with Blue Americana roos would result in Olive egger pullets? I am counting on your knowledge folks! Yeah, I am feeling lazy....

OK--need to get dinner in the works. Thanks for the help on batorism H&R!

I sell my Muscoveys Drakes for 20, the hens for 15. I add 5 for processed ducks.

Must be nice to be unemployed and be supported by your parents...what I saw when I got home from work today:

TO - That Marans and Am. cross will give you olive eggers.

I'm trying to get the right combo here to get some OE too but I keep losing my roos!

 

[Terri O]

Cassie--what do you have for hens? I am sure I could help you!

I've got 2 wheaten maran hens and 2 partridge penendeseca hens, so need an Ameracauna roo to cover them. I've got 2 W/BW Am hens too, so ideally I'd like to find a roo for them that could do double duty.

Does anyone in Wisconsin have any or know where I can get any Black copper Marans? I live near Eau Claire. Hopefully someone can find a seller near me. I am looking for hens and can't seem to find any.

I have show quality white Ameracauna chicks. They were hatched at he end of Oct. . I was planning on culling the Roos. If you want them, you can have them
