    Egg Hatching

    I'm not cut out for the worry. I like more control. 5 am, I'm checking eggs. Candling isn't fun! Of the dz eggs I bought, at least 2 weren't fertile -- too clear for any development at this stage. Didn't check every egg. Most are either where they should be, dark with air sack, or hard...

    Egg Hatching

    Up half the night trying to get incubator temps stable again. Sure don't want to cook them at this stage! Old model is a manual, not a digital set 🥴. But, new lid with that feature is $145....won't help or get here for this last 6 days and may never do another load. So monitoring it and...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I'm getting a day off from rain :clap plus, looks like a week of dry coming along, too. The hay guy will be glad -- he's got a lot to cut, going into too ripe status.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I buy from ForJars...nice product. It's not the lids, just what gets between lid & glass rim. People have been successful canning with fats in product. 😊 Still overcast & all day, off & on drizzles...thru Fri. Be glad to see the sun!! Actually had some clearing late day yesterday, with...

    So next time you make broth, just cool it, remove the tallow reheat broth & pressure can. Same with tallow, reheat, strain, jar it. 😄 Then you have the best of both to use together or not ☺️ I reduce the "oils" in my broth that way. It's a consideration when the canner causes venting. If...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Coffee is up. Couple light chores and off to work. Overcast, cool 57 out & rains predicted for later. It's been a really cool May around here. Esp late in the month. Odd really.
