I’m considering crossing my lavender Orpington girls to my black silkie or paint silkie roo to work towards producing a line of lavender silkies.

    Should I purchase these eggs? Micro frizzle

    I sought out a seller on eBay for their chocolate serama, but she sent me photos of a pair that I don’t think are chocolate. This was what I was thinking of: And this is the chocolate pair she showed me: I don’t see them as chocolate, but maybe I’m wrong. Are they? I’m thinking if anything I...

    Chocolate Silkie breeding clarification

    I purchased six silkies last fall that were advertised as chocolates. I understand now that quite often chocolate silkies are actually duns.

    Chocolate Mousse

    This recipe for chocolate mousse is one that my mother always made for Christmas and Easter when family came to visit. It disappeared very quickly and rarely were there any leftovers for the next day, or even later in the evening. Now I make it for the same special occasions. My sons love it so...

    Modified Idiot Cookies

    A modified recipe. The original recipe can be found in the Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook. The sugar substitute used no-calorie sweetener made with sucrose and malodexterin. I calculate it to have about 1/8 as many carbs as normal granulated sugar. This is two times the recipe. Feel free to halve...
