Good to...hey CC.. I was crying for love of butter!<br /><br />Good to see you GW! You just can't beat the food value.. I mean wow! The house cats are still eatin' the leaving...and we had a stir fry the other nite with some of the pre-cut up, bite sized pieces. My pal B. raises them... I'll have to check out her progress and maybe I can learn to love them. But ya can't beat turkeys for real food value!

Butchering chickens isn't exactly a relaxing day on the beach, and I like to get the most meat out of the experience that I can. One half of a breast from those birds will feed the THREE of us......and it's guuuoood! ;)Mama Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541998872594946053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-65704242200027215202010-06-08T22:18:47.323-04:002010-06-08T22:18:47.323-04:00As a kid my brothers and sisters and I would take ...As a kid my brothers and sisters and I would take turns passing the shake-a-shake-a jar making butter until we were crying because our arms were tired.

They are easy.. just a few "gotchas." You'll do great!<br /><br />As for the butter.. nope. No separater.. or churn. Just good ol' cream (from Bourbon Red's cow) and me and a quart jar a-shake-a a-shake-a a-shake-a a-shake-a a-shake-a till it clumps into butter. Its totally fun.Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-68660551960213164162010-06-08T21:03:33.247-04:002010-06-08T21:03:33.247-04:00Hey CC.. did I give you my duckling primer?? Easy ...Hey CC.. did I give you my duckling primer?? Easy PEASY.. if no, let me know.. two tips:<br />1. NON-medicated feed.. Dumor from tractor supply has chick feed and thats perfect for them. Or duckling starter from your feed store. Ducklings should not have medicated chick feed.<br />2. Don't put them in the water. Have a shallow pan (like a pie plate) that will allow them to put their heads in the water. But until they are feathered out they aren't floaty enough and they can become chilled. And yes they can drown....its very sad. <br /><br />Great job!Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-22982953771319542102010-06-08T20:59:37.237-04:002010-06-08T20:59:37.237-04:00Hey Chai Chai!

Sometimes they bury the cheese stuff.. but click on "Home Dairy":<br />http://www.hoeggergoatsupply.com/xcart/home.php?cat=33<br /><br />Check out under "Culture, Rennet, Color". I like these guys but you kinda need to know what you want. The New England Cheese Suppply:<br />http://www.cheesemaking.com/<br /><br />Has better kits. <br /><br />I started several cheddars. It so exciting when it works! Of course the only drawback is you have to wait several months for the results.<br /><br />Thanks Sally!Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-17130661712709264162010-06-07T19:42:51.284-04:002010-06-07T19:42:51.284-04:00Oh yeah, I also enjoy reading your farm notes too....Oh yeah, I also enjoy reading your farm notes too. :o)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750433945997147015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-32497378257322407602010-06-07T19:42:51.285-04:002010-06-07T19:42:51.285-04:00Thanks Ofg, I am going to place an order this mont...Thanks Ofg, I am going to place an order this month.

I tried keeping a written journal but I can type as fast as I talk.. so this is just easier. I'll never remember what I planted if I don't do this!<br /><br />Hey Sally! It was really good..and I'm a HUGE fan of the colored rangers.. but we got the red broilers from Ideal (about the same thing). I went on and on about it here:<br />http://adventuresinthegoodland.blogspot.com/2010/05/creepy-meat.html<br /><br />Really the "red' ones (rangers or broilers) are a great way to try them out.
