The "right way--for me to digest and not have intestinal upset" is soak for at least 24 hours, and rinse a few times. Then pressure cook for about 45 minuets.

I too was using aloe vera gel, but putting baking soda on top of that. Then I figured out that most of the time I don't need anything, so I've going without. In the summer when I really need the baking soda, I can't wear it because I break out.

Fasting starting this afternoon. Plan to end on Wednesday. Then soup. I miss soup.

A good result from the testing is changing and adding some foods that I wasn't eating before, such as seaweed, and two types of beans. As long as the beans are prepared the right way, I do alright with them!

I noticed a lot of hatching eggs for sale on Craigslist this morning. I think more than in past years. I may get some Bresse hatching eggs, if the local farm store doesn't have Cornish Rock chicks any longer.

@tortoise We need pictures!

Being on a Self Sufficient thread I'm sure some of you have heard of food sensitivity testing. If not, a brief summary is that the body's igG (immunoglobulins) cells supposedly are raised in an individual who is sensitive to certain food. The lower numbers, of course, are less reactive foods...

Last night had iceberg lettuce, sauteed onion and garlic, with Pollock fish. Also, home-pressed organic almond oil for the dressing!

The chicks are totally better now. One chick in group #2 started having the same symptoms! I removed the eggs and the chick got better. Maybe the ones who were affected ate too much of the eggs and no grain. Decided to limit the eggs to maybe every other, or every three days. But no eggs...

Onions left in the ground over winter are doing nicely. There are some onions the cold frame also, along with lettuce, endive and kale.

Where do you live?

Didn't make the soup for dinner yesterday. I have hives and they were getting worse. Husband had leftovers from Saturday. My lips swelled overnight, and got up looking like a botox gone wrong. A little better now, since I've taken more diphenhydramine, and the house is cold. I've had adzuki...

Thanks for the input @Alaskan and @frustratedearthmother. They are doing much better today. I kept helping the weak ones to drink and then place them by food. Their food is ground finer, most of it almost to a powder. Going to skip the egg meal for today, thinking that maybe they need more...

Not good news with group #1. Around half of them have been getting weaker and weaker. They like to hide in their chick cave more than chicken chicks, as is more instinctive for quail to do, and I think they were hiding too much and haven't been coming out enough to eat. I've put towels for...

24 out of 29 fertile eggs hatched Saturday and Sunday.

Vegetable soup for tonight. Not typical, as it will be garlic, onion, celery, carrots, salmon, and kombu seaweed.

Group #2 started hatching yesterday, and still hatching.

I love cheap (and soft) white bread. I remember a snack as a teenager was Hellmann's mayonnaise and colby longhorn on white bread, and sometimes a tomato. I don't eat wheat anymore, and haven't eaten cheap soft white bread in years.

Welcome from southwest Michigan. Nice to meet you.

10 hatched from the first group. I mixed essential amino acid powder in their food (I make all the poultry food from scratch), and also scrambling a chicken egg for them every day.
