A few times when we had a "coffee crises" (in that prices jumped) I was adding roasted, ground chicory. I wasn't bad. I like my coffee strong and black so for me it was a bit mild. If you like to add cream and/or sugar, you could probably get by with less.

It was a bit long and somewhat repetitive, but interesting. I didn't see anyone mention chicory. I would think that grows in the south too... don't know, I'm a Yankee...LOL

I haven't counted lately, but I think I should have about 20-25 laying this year. I had some losses in the last few months and I have a few that I think might be done laying. A couple of the "old girls" are more like pets now so I won't cull them. They help keep order in the coop and are sweet...

So nice with the days getting longer! I Finally got back up to 18 eggs today! :clap I suppose someone will be broody soon too.:rolleyes: Don't want a broody for another month.

Whoa! For a single that is big! A few months ago I was getting an average of 3 big double yolkers a week. Poor hen!

How about cutting the tops so they are open and use them like baskets like to hold mail, car keys etc. You could make them a little fancier and stronger by putting coloured tape around the edge. Cut them down and use them for drawer dividers. If you have any little square ones, put a handle on...

Thanks Baymule! Often when I'm on "Christian dominated" forums I just keep my mouth shut about it. We all believe what we do for our own reasons, I just felt it was important to mention the respect and blessing thing.

When I was a kid, between the neighbours and an uncle that butchered chickens, I learned to toughen up and even helped with the process since I was 6 . However when it was my own birds, it was a little rough at first. I knew these birds from chicks after all. A few I was happy to dispatch, like...

Wow, wish I could help, but I know how you feel. I got a free Kitchenaid stand mixer... no bread hook! Good luck!

We used to freeze it, and yes, it almost always separated... but sometimes that was a good thing when you wanted the cream. BTW "frosty" cream whips great!

Funny you should mention quilts made from suites. My grandmother on my dad's side made them. I had one that was all wool suite and blanket pieces on the the top then a worn heavy cotton blanket for the "batting", then old, heavy cotton drapes for the backing. The thing weighed a ton but it was...

Ham hash Ham omelets Cream of leek soup w/ ham Ham clunked or strips in a salad In the summer cut ham in strips and grill w/BBQ sauce and make a sandwich. Great with cowl slaw on top. And all of the above! :drool

Wow... I think my birds (even the guineas) are happier at 50* than they are at 80*! Even at 30* they are out ... they just don't seem to like snow! LOL

Looks like this may have started out as a "Troll" .... but the idea is good! When my kids were little they liked crafts. A couple of years I put together craft kits for them. I bought paints, glitter and glue but added all kids of "scrap craft" items. They got a big box of craft items for less...

I have found that a tea made from dried nettles works well for many food allergies. You can add some mint and/or honey if you like.

Take a deep breath and relax! BYC is a great place for info and I know it can be over whelming but I would recommend going to the "Where am I? Where are you? " threads and find your state/area. I found that the closer you can get to "home" the more relevant the information is. Also there is...

First, let me say you are entitled to your opinion. However.... The vast majority of Cannabis users hold down jobs, have families and are just like anyone else! You would never know they "indulge" at all. I know some very respectable professionals that use it. Sure, there are people that "over...

Let's face it, that could be said o anything! It's no better or worse than allot of things, you have to weigh your options. Look at all the warnings they put on over the counter stuff and by the time you listen to all the warnings on the prescriptions they advertise... you don't want to take...

The few times when I Had to hand wash, and the things I still do.... I use Fell's Naphtha. My dad was a mechanic and we always pretreated his greasy clothes with it. Borax is great help too! Just soaping the dirty areas should put enough soap in the water to clean the rest of the clothes. Yes...

Yep, if you can manage to do both I would. It gives you a better variaty of meat and you can always use the eggs!
