For sure you will have to pressure can it, that's all I know. Since it's a low-acid food. It will be beautiful, update with pics!
Crazy, Larry! If you make a video, please share in Grannyland as well! 😉
I rigged a light in my coop. Not for them (yet), but for me. I have to plug it in to turn it on, but that's no biggie. Soon I will add a second light with a red bulb for when I need to do things in there at night without disturbing them. Much. Like trimming wings. Or rubbing grease on their...
DH and I cleaned the hen house, top to bottom. He carried out several cart loads of shredded paper (and poop!) which we use as floor bedding and nesting material, and I scooped the poop trays. Then we put in new shredded paper, which he gets from the bank where he works (you can't beat free!)...

Sat with my 18 four-week-old chicklets and my Gracie for about an hour this afternoon. Gave them mealworms (again) and some chopped fresh tomato (first time), always a hoot! Even at this age the little cockerels are feeling their oats, chest-bumping each other, flying at each other, standing...
