No, we just rotated stock pots of water off of the canning stove out in the yard for plucking.

My broody Buff Orpington is in a dog crate with a dozen eggs. Let's hope it goes well! I think a White Rock might be trying to brood too.

I did it, but the rational part of me said if they don't have their heads how will they know their brain is destroyed? I would not try it as a method to kill them. Cutting throats is the only way. I need cones now. We did really dunk them and move them around in the water to scald them instead...

No, hand plucked. I don't have any of those details yet, but I can after I weigh them tomorrow. I read last night something I did not know. After you cut their throats, take your knife and destroy the brain through the mouth. It supposedly will help release the feathers during plucking.

We killed, plucked, and gutted 24 Cornish rock crosses today. It only took us about five hours. It went great. I am going to vacuum seal in the morning.

I totally agree.

I have a broody!! I am hoping to get her set tonight!!

I went to the Dollar General yesterday. For us, that's the equivalent of Wal-Mart. The shelves were bare, and they were low on non-perishable food items. It was really scary in that regard. I had to buy some supplies to kill our broilers tomorrow. I managed to pick up a few extra bags of beans...

Yes, I do! That is brilliant! Thanks I walked out there just now. The stems are intact, and I already see new leaves coming up. I think we are in the clear.

My phone said 30 degrees this morning. So, I thought we were in the clear. Potato plants said otherwise. They are burnt bad. I have read different articles about it, and they supposedly will send up new vines. I guess time will tell... Next time, I will buy the tarps and cover them up.

Currently, they are not forecasting below 30 for us right now. It has poured the rain for 24 hours. I think I am going to chance it. Its so muddy out there right now that walking in it would probably do more damage than anything. Worst case scenario they die to the ground, and then re-sprout.

It was removed, and part of the Plandemic documentary. I have read different things about it, and I think it is fair to say we can't exactly verify its complete authenticity or its fabrication. The fact that You Tube viciously removes it from their platform just validates it to me. There are...

They did fine last night. The hardest to come is tonight. BUT, the temperature forecast is looking much better. 30 instead of 25. I am going to check again this afternoon before I do anything.

Thank you, Bee.

A freeze warning is in effect for us tomorrow night into Saturday morning. I have five rows of potatoes that are two-three inches high. Is there anything I can do to protect them? I do not have enough covering handy. Would a tarp protect them??

Luckily, my order is just back logged. I have plenty for this season, but I always try to keep a year's worth on hand.

There would be nothing more (excluding the divine) that would bless me than to have a wonderful wife, and a house of kids. That is my dream of dreams.

I had to look that up. I am moving into the woods.

That is my plan almost exactly. I am going to build a small cabin as I can afford it with the ability to add on. I might never get married, or I may get married next year and be blessed to have eight kids.

Yes, I have noticed they are in high demand. I ordered more bulk rings and lids from Lehman's and they were back ordered. I ordered them, and they have not charged my credit card for them yet as of this morning. So, I need to call them today.
