    The rain sound when showing your deck garden was wonderful and peaceful. Great idea on the dehydrated and powdered potatoes. I followed your directions and dehydrated some of my garden potatoes but they are pretty hard. I really like the idea of powdering. I also lightly cooked diced potatoes and froze. Makes great country style breakfast fried potatoes. So very gratefully for you Heidi !!!

    Heidi, I took your information for dehydrating meat and love it. So I am a van dweller and have been using food grade fabric bags and nut bags to dehydrate friut, veggies, ginger and such on my dash. This has been very successful for years. This summer I tried dehydrating cooked meat and it works excellent even on my dash. I probably would never had thought to try meat if you had not talked about it. I have tried to dehydrate broth last week but that was not a success however I will try again. Keep up your amazing videos. Peace, Love and Freedom 🇺🇲

    Glad you brought up the roosters. Listen love, good neighbors, especially in these economic times should be accepting of a few rooster calls. I don't raise poultry, but my neighbors do. I'm fully aware of the fact that most of that noise will end in 5 to 12 weeks when the roosters graduate to freezer camp. I don't let it bother me. I don't live in a graveyard for Heavens sake. Being a good neighbor goes both ways. God bless and keep you.

    Oh gosh, your hen that runs into your arms and cuddles right up just made me all gooey inside. One of my roosters, Butterscotch, does that, he'll just snuggle right in and relish the cuddles and sleep. A few of my hens don't mind being picked up, but no one cuddles like my Butterscotch. I just love when chickens do that. They are just as cuddly as cats, in my experience.

    We recently lost our first rooster Ricky Longsong, he was the best! He was considerate of the hens, docile and handsome. We have 6 or 7 roosters which we are going to take down to 2 or 3. We tried to rehome, but no luck. Our broody buff is on her 2nd batch of eggs for this year, and her last 3 pullets are hanging around the garage for another week or so before we move them to the chicken yard. We have buffs, cinnamon queens, and Delawares, but the buffs are my first and favorite hens. ❤
    Shalom

    Dehydrated cabbage, carrots, onions, celery, all Greens including lettuce are realky good. Swiss Chard easily rehydrates and the stems are my favorite. Dehydrated mashed potatoes would be nice to thicken soups. Dehydrated peas are okay, they are mushy by the time they are rehydrated. You are blessed to have elk on your third property. Thanks Heidi!

    I hatched out 8 of my eggs earlier this spring and got 5 roosters.
    I ended up culling 4 of them. But not soon enough. Seems the boys mature faster than the girls and I lost 2 hens because these guys were so aggressive and chased the hens all over. The 2 I lost wouldnt return to the coop and nights here are full of predators. PLUS.....all my hens stopped laying because of the stress.
    Funny thing is....2 of my hens went broody after they started laying again and I gave up on the battle of locking them out of the nesting boxes because the drive was so stong they were throwing themselves against the wire around the coop to get inside. Each hatched 2 chicks and as far as I can tell all 4 are hens.
    A 3rd went broody a few weeks ago. Mid hatch, she stole another egg to add to the 2 she had under her so it is about 1 week behind the other 2 that just hatched. It shows development but ahe abandoned it so I'm incubating it, and praying she accepts a younger chick if it hatches out.
    I have an el cheapo incubator, rather basic and I've adopted the dry hatch, no turn method and it has worked great for me.

      I don,t know your zone or situation, but I got 2 nice new bushes by 'winter sowing' in zone 6a. leads me to think marshmallow needs cold stratification. This was the first year for them and I look forward to seeing how they do next year. Wishing you all the best.

      I usually put the small chicks in a smaller cage in the coup with the big ones. After a week or so I prop the side up so they can get in and out if pecked on. After they get along remove the small cage.

    • @utopicconfections5257
      @utopicconfections5257 Před 18 dny +1

      One way to do it, that had worked for us, is to put them in the coop at night when the chickens are sleeping. The "old" chickens wake up in the morning and just accept them as always having been there. We've introduced them in the middle of the day and that didn't work very well, especially for the roosters.

    • @blessedbloominghomestead9134
      @blessedbloominghomestead9134 Před 18 dny

      @@utopicconfections5257we do the same. Any moves are done at night, but we do let the small ones get a little size so they can better defend themselves if needed.

    • @reibersue4845
      @reibersue4845 Před 18 dny +1

      I fortunately have my coop sectioned off into 3 smaller coops. Only one has a covered run so that is kept open for the established flock. My middle one is turned into a nursery if a broody hatches eggs just to segregate the teeny tiny ones till they get big enough that I can see them and not step on them doing coop chores. The 2nd or 3rd is used to put newbors in the coop for a week or 2 so they can get use to seeing each other. When i do let the newbies out to free range, i let the others empty out of the coop and open the door later to allow the newbies the option of going out too. I notice they tend to form their own separate floocks and dont really integrate until the newest ones lose their cheeping voices. Cheeping just seems to paint a target on them for the older hens to bully them.
