My grandfather, (not the one who has dementia who lives with me,) came to visit me and my family. I decided to surprise him with one of my Dutch oven meals.
I made him Peach cobbler.
It worked out well, but next time I need to drain the peaches more. A little too much liquid on the bottom.
Not trying to advertise, but there’s a forum I belong to called garden.org. They have an excellent plant ID section. You could post your pictures of this plant there and they could identify it for you!
I’m pretty sure the brooder is big enough. I, a 6’ 1” male, can easily lay in it if it didn’t have chicks and sawdust inside.
As for enrichment, I haven’t done anything because I don’t know what enrichment for chickens is, to be honest.
No trips outside yet, I thought they still needed to be...
Hi everyone,
I have the following chicks, all 4 weeks old:
1 Female Rhode Island Red
1 Female Amber White
1 Female Austra White
1 Female Golden Sex Link
1 Female Buff Orpington
1 Female Barred Plymouth Rock
2 Female Amaraucanas (Think I spelled that wrong,)
And 5 others they included without...
I have a big patch of purple irises, but every year, a single white one blooms. Where it came from, I don’t know. All my irises except for this one are purple.
Not an entry.
I got a new brooder in the mail coming today. Those chicks are getting big and I needed a bigger brooder. The coop is about halfway done, by the way.
On a side note, I found this recipe, and I’m gonna try to adapt it to Dutch oven.

Had a bit of a scare last night. One of the chicks escaped the brooder and I couldn’t find her until 9:00 PM. She wasn’t hurt, she was calmly roosting on the food storage shelf.
How she got up there, I don’t know. I guess she’s a good jumper.
This recipe may need an amendment later, but here it is.

Good morning, everyone.
I did another Dutch oven experiment.
I turned the lid upside down and used it to make scrambled eggs while hash browns were cooking in the main oven. It was a success, and I made a delicious Mountain Man Breakfast.
Next time, though, I need to cook everything 10...
Awesome, thanks for all the information. I deeply appreciate it.
I’m still trying to figure out how to do a water change without accidentally hurting the tadpoles. I think I need a special type of net to scoop them out.
ETA: By the way, how do you care for your toads in winter? Don’t they need...
