Here's the bacon recipe I'm using View attachment 3350525

EEK, metric recipe. Better call Mac.

Never fear! My scale can do it

Ooh, I wish! But no, no dummies here.

When I was younger, my mom had a couple geese. Lived one block out of city limits and I don't know if the geese were dumb. But do you know how hard it is to sneak out with geese in the yard?

Impossible.
Our hot tub is on the back porch, which overlooks the goose/duck pen.
Ain't nobody going out there to have a soak without the geese telling the world about it.

How many new ones are you adding?

Just in English Orpingtons I have the following:

- Black
- Black Mottled
- Blue
- Blue Mottled
- Splash
- Splash Mottled
- Mauve
- Mauve Mottled
- Buff
- Chocolate
- Chocolate Mottled
- Chocolate Cuckoo
- Lavender Cuckoo
- Gold-laced
- Chocolate Gold-laced
- Isabel Lavender-laced
- Lavender
- Lavender Mottled
- Recessive White
- Red
- Silver-laced

I plan on working on Lavender Silver-laced and Blue Silver-laced too. Plus there's the Seramas, Araucanas, and Sicilian Buttercups.

If my math is right I need those many pens.

If it goes according to plan…

That many large pens. Then I have six half done that the smaller groups of birds can go into. Plus the original two pens. And the three pens in the barn can be reserved for the waterfowl.

Ooh, I wish! But no, no dummies here.

I'm so annoyed. I know they are all going to be mixed geese. I have no idea if they'll go back and breed in the spring or not.

Yes, Ms. BarbieQ. She didn't run off, though. She was on top of the hill in the pigpen but the kill shot convulsions sent her down the hill, through their electric fence, off a ravine, and into the creek.
Thank God we had an electric winch.View attachment 3350517

All I can think of is how much I want all those leaves to throw in my muddy run

Yeah, I think I'd murder for about 6,000 pounds of wood chips.

Love that freezer. Not only well stocked, but upright.

Yes, hate our deep freezer

My wife is tiny. I'd come out and find her IN a chest freezer accidentally if we didn't have an upright. We had a step stool in the laundry room when we had top loaders for that reason.

And this is why. I have a step stool in my laundry room too
