Coop Add-Ons-
When we looked at what the new coop needed Dave wanted to upgrade the electrical components. We also added some pavers to the entrance, and new hardware. I was going to paint this weekend but too rainy and cold. So the new stuff-
New light $5.00, and Dave read chickens actually DON'T benefit from flourescent winter lights
vs. incandescent. It can cause a drop in egg production according to some research. Heat lamp is below.
new switch
new receptacle
new conduit
new/used handle
pavers, not quite finished
perch added to bottom of upper shelf/perching area
new ramps, we had to re-configure them

Feed Sack Fabrics-
After Mama Pea posted her giveaway Feed Sack Potholders, it started me thinking about the other reproduction fabrics that might be out there. I found this- Ewenmeprintables, then these
Floursack Pillows Etsy. Then I found this interesting looking book-Feedsack Secrets: Fashion From Hard Times. I decided to get mine from the library, always free! I love the fact you can do an intra-library loan and get books from out-of-state. It all reminded me of the quilts my maternal Grandmother made, all from recycled fabrics. It wasn't "recycling" or retro then, it was sheer survival. I'll post some snippets of the book when I get it!
Sorry about the shadow!
Fish Tacos With Lime Sauce-
I was in the mood for something citrusy, and this fit the bill- Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce A friend suggested a similar sauce and it's limey all right, but I add extra. Sauces always taste more diluted in the end. I added a couple of chopped green onions and used panko crusted tilapea fish (thick), nice and crunchy! I did toss some of the sauce into the slaw mix before I served...
Your tax dollars at work- what would this do to your child's immune system, and who makes all that $$$$?
Very interesting visual on the vaccines. I refuse to get my teens the one they keep pushing on us. Those tacos look great! Hubby wants me to make fish tacos. Maybe when we get enough fish on our fishing days, I can make those.
ReplyDeleteShoot, we'd be happy to have power at the barn, much less the hen house! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWe love fish tacos here. I had some at a restaurant recently where the fish was grilled instead of fried and they were awesome! I'm going to try that next time.
Thanks! Candy I've done grilled too. This is frozen and quick (and no trans fats), good for a work night. The power all runs off an exterior orange extension power cord, just for the winter...
ReplyDeleteLove the coop upgrades. Your gals are truly high class!
ReplyDeleteThe vaccination chart was a jaw dropper however.
Leigh, thanks! Yes that chart was pretty sobering for me too...
