    It is, but the flavor of a rooster or older hen that has lived and free ranged is unmatched by store bought chicken. I have to grow a number of roosters out each year to choose the next crop of breeders so might as well eat the culls.

    This is the sourdough calzone recipe I use. I use only 00 flour or unbleached bread flour though and just enough water to get my dough right without it being overly wet. Always start by adding 325-350 grams of water then slowly add more as you need it. https://breadtopia.com/sourdough-calzones/

    We had a horrendous thunderstorm last night, 70 mph winds and crazy heavy rain. I’m thankful that’s all it was though. I’m terrified of tornadoes. It is supposed to snow here today, and is flurrying a bit now. I am off work this weekend and it is supposed to warm back up by then, thank God...

    With breeds I can sex at hatch like Olive Eggers or Legbars, we cull extra roosters as soon as I take them out of the incubator. We cull quickly and humanely so they feel no pain. It is impractical to feed them all to maturity, especially birds I know I won’t need for breeding, and we stay...

    Thank you! I enjoy making it for my family. I have baked so many cookies and loaves of bread and homemade pizzas lately! 🥰🥰🥰

    Best of luck on your hatch! Be prepared for half or more to be roosters. 😅

    You can add olive oil and honey to your sourdough for a less hard crust. And make sure there is lots of steam in the oven, whether it is by putting a few ice cubes in your dutch oven and spraying the top of your loaf with water before putting it in the oven, or putting a pan of water on the...

    We eat all the bad ones now. Most of my roosters are very well behaved, even the Gamecocks. I do have one Sussex I am keeping my eye on. He is about to get an attitude adjustment.

    Winter is getting one last hoorah I guess. Right when my hydrangeas were starting to wake up. No early flowers from them yet again this year. The cold will kill back the tender buds. 😓 The wind is blowing up heck here in KY with at least one confirmed tornado somewhere in the state. The...

    I make sourdough bread too! However, since my family prefers a softer crust for sandwiches, I have been cheating on my sourdough starter lately with dry active yeast. Please don’t tell her! 🤫

    We had Flarry Eyed Toppies years ago. They were mean as a junkyard dog! The old broodcock would fly at your face to try to hit you right in the face. He would shake on your leg and light your world on fire. We thinned those out quick. We even had two Flarry Eyed hens to fight and kill each...

    Aww look at the stag all stoic and protecting his Brown Leghorn girls. I love a good rooster like that. Game roosters are fierce protectors of their hens. Beautiful birds!

    Gorgeous!! I really do not need to see pictures of these! 🫣 I'm trying to thin the birds, not keep adding. Those are so pretty!!
