This gives me the same feeling as being carded at the grocery store
You never know until you try! If she doesn't want her belly pet, she grabs your hand with her front paws and bunny kicks you with her back legs.
They're a great find, I hope you like them!
In my opinion, yes. They're like really garlicky spinach. I spotted them in the woods behind my house when I was taking a second tour trying to decide between this and another place... They were the tipping point.
Yes, those are ramps! Mine are popping up too.
They are wonderful sauteed, or creamed like you would do with spinach. They freeze well if you blanche then first, too. I also like to make ramp butter, chop them really fine and just mix them in raw with heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a little bit of lemon juice. Mix and mix and mix until all the fat and liquid is separated and you have delicious green butter and buttermilk. The buttermilk is great in biscuits... Damn, I love ramp season.
I have to admit, I only posted because I was cracking myself up over that yolk.
Sweet sleepy babies! Thanks for sharing ❤️
... If it's three days or less, do you just not brush your teeth?
That sounds like it would tickle!
The heater is necessary until they're properly feathered, they need to stay around 95°F right now. That will be adjusted down around 5° a week until they are comfortable at room temperature. I don't actually know how long they would last without it, but it's obvious when they are miserable and cold. They all snuggle up together in a little clump and when they first came home they were very lethargic until they warmed up. It was about a 4 hour journey for them from the hatchery to home without heat.
