Thanks for the advice fellas! We had already taken them out before I saw these replies. I just took the heat lamp down there and will leave it until these cold temps dissipate.

Over the past 10 days I’ve created some natural sourdough bread starter. Today was baking day. Tomorrow we will slice and serve with some roll butter.
One of the items on my to-do/personal enrichment/bucket list is to learn how to run a sewing machine . Finally got after it, used some cotton duck to make a muzzy possibles bag. Not completely finished, gotta put the straps on it. Like me, it ain't pretty, but will be functional. No pattern, just laid mu stuff out and marked and measured and cut and stitched. Gonna spray it with some waterproofing stuff when done.That's a 100 year old 1925 Singer sewing machine model 99-13, from wife's aunt. Run s great. I'm pretty pleased.

Update : got the straps sewed on and magnetic catches sewn in, along with a support strut in the center to keep the bag from opening and dumping. I bought some of the same material in dark brown and will someday make version 2.0
I googled some practice projects and made some shit-pillowcases, stuffed toys, phone/tablet holders,and chapstick Keychain holders. And i hemmed some pants. So I'm done for a while. Glad I learned this skill

Many of you use pressure canners. I’ll admit I didn’t know this was a thing. While this is local to my area if you contact your local extension office you might find something close.
Damn things are like farm dogs. Then you got Levi messing with calls all day...Sounds like a gay pride parade.
Today was peach day.
17 quarts.
Love doing peaches. Love hearing that "ping" as the jars cool.

We processed those 30 meat chickens today. Took about 2 1/2 hours. Chicken tractor did great, some friends of the kids came over to help and brought 4 mature roosters 
to process as well. 158# put up from the 30 meat chickens, DIL fried up the livers for dinner.

Time to restart the flock after a rough spring around Shoestring Acres. I've been monitoring Cackle Hatchery and Meyer Hatchery for a while trying to get the Blue and Chocolate Orpingtons, and finally got them matched up for a delivery date that works with our family schedule. I've wanted a number of other "pretty" breeds and settled on the Blue Marans after having lunch with the regular French Copper version. The Olive Eggers were so we could have a new egg color in the mix. The color of the eggs will vary more than the chickens! Now I have to build my new coop...
