I still have some 2017 Concord Grape Jelly that was created from my front yard. Still taste great! It will become rib bbq sauce later this year.

Drove up to Meyer Hatchery today and bought some stuff. Had an interesting customer service experience with them on the phone which I will call a net neutral but still leaves a slightly bad taste in my mouth. Ended up driving to Rural King and picked up 12 meat chickens and 8 guinea fowl. They are all currently occupying a dog kennel. Heated brooder plate on order from amazon. Gonna have to build a chicken tractor in the next few weeks. The guineas are for my mother in law (all the birds are going to the farm) and she just wants them basically released to free range.
Gonna build a tractor and put in pvc feeder and waterer so I don't have to go in it more than necessary. Now sure how long it'll take me to butcher and process 12 birds but I'm gonna find out.
I am thinking about naming them all "chicken nugget" or "nugget" for short. LOL.

Annual bread n butter pickles. This time I’m adding a few jalapeños and banana peppers. Hopefully achieve sweet n spicy blend. Just something a little different.

We finally got our chicks 5 aracaunas, 4 buff orpington and 2 silver laced Wyandottes. We have had them for 2 days and haven't lost any. I hope they all make it.
I've never cooked my pickles like that before jarring. I cook in the jar. How long are you cooking, then water bathing? Or are you just mixing last minute, then jarring and bathing?
