    What did you do in the garden today?

    I need to do that too, and just set the frozen food outside while the freezer frost melts.

    So the ground beef isn't seasoned with taco spice?

    Frosty Frosty here and 20 degrees. Gave all the chickens liquid water to drink. Today might be the day I start "rearranging" the flock. The 6 week old chicks are looking like there are 6 pullets and 3 cockerels, a pretty good ratio. I might have a few New Hampshire pullets to sell soon.

    Same here. 6 months if I count the beans and rice.

    Still making a mess with port feeders

    My cockerels don't seem to like the port feeders much although the pullets do. I'm guessing the cockerels' combs make it uncomfortable to stick their heads into the ports. For my chicks in the brooder I made a feeder out of some stuff I had laying around. They were wasting LOTS of crumbles...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I started a third batch of eggs in my incubator yesterday, just five this time. They're all from my only RIR pullet, one that's been laying eggs regularly since she started a few months ago. I also have five New Hampshire pullets that have pretty much quit laying after having a good start a few...

    I put 5 eggs into the incubator that I'm pretty sure are all from my lone Rhode Island Red pullet. It's been a week or more since she's been in contact with the cockerels so they might/might not be fertile. Time will tell. She's the only pullet that has been laying regularly since POL. The New...

    Some people like Rocky Mtn Oysters too. I've had them a couple of times which makes me wonder if anyone fries up rooster "oysters".

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I pulled the last three daikon radishes out of the garden. The largest root was about 6 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter, and tasted no different to me than a regular red radish. Chickens got the tops.

    That works, but they're good when fried. Fried gizzards are even better.

    Whatcha Making for Supper?

    And it's one of the most nutrient dense meats around. I'm thinking about grinding a pound of liver and using it to make a big pot of chili as an experiment. With lots of onions in it. LOL
