Chickens eating insulation on sides of house
Comments (4)Last winter I put some panels of foam insulation between the studs inside the chicken house. They pecked it to pieces. No ill effects. I'd try some cardboard or maybe scraps of plywood to keep them away or at least slow them down. But then whatever you prop up there might make a nice cozy place for mice, etc. Do you have snow?--you could shovel that against the sides of the house. Good luck!...See MoreThe Ugly Side of Raising Chickens
Comments (6)I would like to thank everyone for all your words of wisdom regarding this "incident". I now have Rocky Road in a separate cage in the same run as the rest of his "littermates", (minus the two rogue roosters), because he misses their companionship. He very quickly adapted to an indoor-lifestyle, and was content to sit on our lap or shoulder for hours at a time, just hanging out, preening himself. He protested loudly when put back into his separate pen. I was hoping that his littermates would learn to accept him again, but I'm not sure that will happen...Yesterday was the first time he was near the other chicks, and he was not well received. I have to keep him separated till his scabs heal and feathers can grow back, but I'm afraid he will never fit in again. Out of 10 chicks, only 2 were female...I'm hoping I can put the females with him when the time comes, just for companionship. These chicks were purchased when they were 2 1/2 weeks old...my first hatch is due Friday or Saturday, so I have no one else to keep him company. Thanks again for all your advice and words of encouragement! Juliette Charleston, SC...See MoreChicken Marbella Recipe, Squashed
Comments (6)What a colorful and inviting plate of chicken! I love the towel cradle. I set mine in a loaf pan to stabilize it but like your idea better. I poke a hole in the middle of the squash with a corkscrew and then microwave it for about five minutes. Let it cool a bit and then it's easy to cut it in half crosswise to remove the seeds. A few more minutes in the microwave cut sides down and it's recipe ready....See MoreWhat are your typical sides for roasted chicken?
Comments (29)Grandma used to tell me to "never bake an orphan", so I put as many things into an oven as I can fit in. Brown rice actually cooks very well in the oven, I got that tip from Alton Brown and now that's the only way I ever cook brown rice. Plus it can go right in there with the chicken. I disagree about white potatoes. A medium potato has 110 calories and no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana if you eat that skin. 2 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein, as well as some B6. Even Weight Watchers lets me have 1/2 cup of potatoes for only 2 points. Butter, though, has about the same number of calories in a single tablespoon, and no fiber and virtually no vitamins other than a bit of Vitamin A. Pretty much 100% fat too, but it sure tastes good. It takes 1/4 cup of sour cream to reach those 100+ calories and it does have a tiny bit of protein, but not many other redeeming values. So, as a nutritionist and my doctor told me a couple of years ago, potato has gotten a "bad rap". It really is the stuff you put on top of them that adds fat, salt and calories, but it's a challenge to make them without that stuff. A white potato will raise blood sugar more than a sweet potato and a sweet potato is more nutritious, but sometimes they just won't do the trick. Try putting some chili on that potato, or some low fat salad dressing or even, as Ashley does, A-1 sauce. Even a little butter and sour cream is OK, but I never use just a little butter. It's always a LOT of butter, somehow... Annie...See More
