    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    I worked in an offset press printing shop for a couple years. We had a sign on the wall "All orders needed yesterday must be placed before noon tomorrow".

    I've watched a few of his videos, love how he uses a mink and dog tag team.

    I have rain barrels outside, good for that sort of situation.

    Updates! Frost was forecast, so on Saturday I set up trellises to use as greenhouses. Here's one over my main carrot crop: Didn't have enough cattle panel left for a full trellis, but this was enough to cover lettuce and Chinese cabbage Starting to "head"! I covered all the garden beds...

    I enjoyed it. It reminded me of butterfly mimicry between Monarch and Viceroy butterflies: https://njaudubon.org/monarchs-and-viceroys-a-tale-of-mimicry/

    My mother made applesauce fruitcakes every year, less fruit than the store-bought bricks. She'd bake them after Thanksgiving, then pat them with sherry daily until Christmas. It made them moist. And delicious.

    I put a pile of sunflower seeds on the shed steps while he was observing me, said "chick chick" but he didn't approach. There are plenty of water sources including two small ponds, and several container water gardens.

    No. If he were friendly I might be able to do more. He runs away when I approach. It's about 5am, and I just heard him crowing next door. He must have nested elsewhere. That means he could clear a 4' fence.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I suspect so. No one can see my chickens from the road, and I'm the last house on a deadend street, so if he was dumped it wasn't necessarily due to my flocks. I'm starting to feel sorry for him, but don't want him aggravating or infecting my birds. Naked neck or turken or...? No tail...

    First frost, not a hard freeze. Chicken waterers were fine, not even a skim of ice.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Yesterday I got a text and a couple photos while I was at work, someone's chicken was wandering around the yard. I got home after dark, didn't see it, but as I was bringing my house plants inside I noticed something moving on the box/compost pile. It was a full size chicken, "nesting" in a...

    My dh used to make the stuffing, an out of his head recipe. I jotted it down, glad I did. It has Jimmy Dean's bulk sausage in it, plus bagged stuffing mix, chicken stock, eggs, celery...I think that's most of the ingredients. I'm not a fan of sausage, but his recipe is SOOOO good, especially...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I cleaned out the freezer, found chicken legs and thighs from 3-4 years ago. Into the slow cooker they went, with water almost to cover. Twelve hours on low temperature later I removed the chicken, slid out the bones, and broke up the meat. It tasted okay, but my flocks appreciated my offer of a...

    Ooh. Looks like grape leaves! There's a local Mediterranean restaurant that has delicious gyros, and when I order lunch I always substitute grape leaves for the usual French fries.
