I'll have to see if I can beat his time.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805828989776528313.post-48864287525959878982012-09-21T17:54:20.684-07:002012-09-21T17:54:20.684-07:00We've had sprinkles on and off all day, but it...We've had sprinkles on and off all day, but it's still dusty dry outside. We really need a good soaking! (Just 1 though~I'm not ready for the continuous stuff!) <br /><br />We just finished wrapping the chickens...our largest bird was just under 10 lbs. My girls wrote "Franken-chicken" on the packages...:)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741321309330513890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805828989776528313.post-62700115371506941622012-09-21T11:55:39.391-07:002012-09-21T11:55:39.391-07:00When we had our dairy goats, we never had a milkin...When we had our dairy goats, we never had a milking machine but I've since learned that a real advantage of a machine is that it keeps the milk so much cleaner (less "stuff" falling in the milk) that the keeping quality goes way up.<br /><br />Those meat birds of yours are approaching turkey size! ;o}<br /><br />I know what the tuckered out little gal in the last picture feels like.

Brings back such fond memories I have of our chicken processing day. :) Your mister made good time on the birds. <br /><br />I've been thinking I need to put a cloche over my tomatoes to get them to ripen. Although we've enjoyed a gorgeous September (we got rain last night, by the way, did you?), the nights are growing cooler to be sure.<br /><br />Our friends with a dairy cow usually milk with a mechanical milker, but their oldest daughter loves to milk by hand -- imagine that!<br /><br />Such blessings you're enjoying there on your farm. Thanks for sharing, Kim!<br /><br />~LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760735212107263086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805828989776528313.post-3601050213656657802012-09-21T06:00:31.679-07:002012-09-21T06:00:31.679-07:00I'm getting ready to butcher some of my fryer ...I'm getting ready to butcher some of my fryer chickens.
