    I have 250 chickens. They have a very large coup and have a very large chain linked area to be out in during the day.

    Greenhouses anyone?

    Look on Craigslist. They sell them once in a while. Some take just a little investment.

    This is the greenhouse on the patio.. It is covered with plastic now but next summer it will have glass in it. Here is a pic of the outside of the greenhouse last summer. She also plays with bowling balls. She rears up and throws them about 3 feet in front of her. It is amazing.

    The Freeze-Drying Thread

    Wow I dehydrate lots of stuff but never thought of doing salsa. Your salsa looks very nice and I'll bet it re hydrates great... What I do is try some of these things and if I like how they cook back up I try dehydrating first since that takes such little space. If I don't like it when I use it I...

    WHAT THE HECK DO I DO WITH ALL THESE EGGS?!

    I have butchered some but they are much too old. They taste horrible for they are 4 and 5 years old. They make great broth. I never use water when making noodles or rice nor do I use bouillon cubes when making sauces or soups. I have 100 pints of broth canned up for that. Now it's time to...

    WHAT THE HECK DO I DO WITH ALL THESE EGGS?!

    I almost never have leftover eggs. They give me 700 eggs a week and I always sell around 60 dozen a week. I also have serama, ducks and pheasants. If I don't have enough regular ones I have to give my hubby serama eggs or others, in his morning sandwich for work.
