Alys

The fellow who taught the Chicken class at the Co-op (Farley) said the way to stop broody behavior is to put them in a screened cage with no bottom and hang the cage up... this unusual and uncertain perch eventually breaks them from brooding. This technique might not be agreeable to you, though.

HELP!!!!  I have a very dedicated broody hen who needs someone who wants to raise their own chicks!  I do not have the space/facility or time to do it myself, so I would gladly give her to whoever wants a broody hen.  She is a year old laying Austrolorp, and has a lovely personality, and she will make an excellent mother hen.  If you are interested please contact me ASAP.  Also, if someone on this site could also put a notice on the Facebook Chicken Club about her I would be grateful.  Alys

Yeah, 12 of us got oil presses.  End cost $95, so far I've used it for hazelnut oil with good results and I heard one of our group had some trouble trying to process flax.  No tarriff, tax, or duty.

Terese:  I have comfrey salve if Larry needs it now. My daughters and I make it every year.

Hi Walter, Do you still have extra comfrey you can split?  Roots would be great so we can start some on our land.  Larry needs comfrey salve.

thanks
