And the chicks will be for: Pest control? Egg production? An occasionalpot of chicken n dumplings? All the above?
I love fresh eggs, so much better flavor than those you get in the store.

What do you see when you look at chicks? 1 chick=1chicken dinner, 2 chicks=2 chicken dinners,25 chicks=25 chicken dinners.


I keep having to resist stealing a few eggs from the nesting turkey and trying to hatch them. I'm getting the turkey fairly tame. I can go up to about 8 feet away and stand there and talk to it. It will stay put for about a minute. If I turn away and walk, it stays on the nest. If I stay too long, it stands up(close to 3 feet tall) hops out of the nest and trots slowly across the rows of vines. They should be hatching soon I suspect.

I just wanted a dozen layers, but you have to order 25 chicks for shipping, we always had layers when the children were young but never tried meat birds, so I got a package with 10 layers and 15 meat birds, meat birds should be ready in 10 weeks or so, the layers will take 20 or more weeks to lay eggs, if the meat birds are as good as I have been told, I might have to build another coup and keep that up. I mostly wanted fresh eggs and meat for my daughter and grandsons, they live within city limits and can't have chickens.

We raised chickens years ago when we lived in AZ....now I find a book from the public library there, "Chickens in Our Backyard" ....I feel like Al Bundy, maybe someday I'll sneak down there andput it back, must be some late fee by now.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I picked Dandelions today, it's a lot of work, and I was in too big of a hurry to look for my dust mask so now I'm all itchy and my eyes itch like crazy!!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

7 quarts of petals, going to make 6 gallons of wine, NO ZEST!!

 

[grapeman]

I think I will wait for the grapes to grow and ripen this year. That looks like one heckuva lot of work to me to pick all them and pull 1,879,986,754,352 petals off for a 6 gallon batch of wine!

My hats off to you Frank! Edited by: appleman

 

[Wade E]

Going for a 6'er huh. Afraid you might like it and kick yourself for not making more huh?

 

[Trigham]

Stinkie, if I may ask what did u use to take the petals off the head.

Thanks
Trig

 

[Wade E]

I cut with sissors but looks like Frank did a better job unless he had some big dandy's. Have you ever had or made this AAA?

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I pick the heads in the field and cut the petals off with scissors into an ice chest. I cut till my hand started to get a blister, then it was enough already!! It's more work that you would think, but it only took me an hour to get the petals.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

The chicks moved to the chicken coup today.

 

[Waldo]

1,879,986,754,353 petals
