Elusive Einstein is still free. I have a hand knit thick wool sweater hanging in my closet that has a few holes (about 40 mm in Diameter)? Is this Einstein or is it a wool eating insect? Moth? My friend knitted the sweater for me. :( Have a sunwonderful day! I think you are dealing with moths eatin...

Re: French recipes
Looks like Claudette's cuisine may live on with you. Coquilles St. Jacques is so good!

Re: Good Morning - 2023
rodent trap.jpg We got this on Amazon. It's cheaply made, but it was not expensive, and it was on sale, so ... The parts don't snap together well, but despite that, it does work. You just put it on top of a 5l bucket half full of water, add some peanut butter on several spots near the top of the la...

Re: Quail egg peeler
We've tried a few, including a DIY but we couldn't get the roller spacing quite right. We couldn't justify the cost of an electric one, but we have purchased a manual one that works pretty well. There is definitely a knack to it though. There are steps to take that help the peeling process, such as ...

Re: Cooking quail
Yes, what Ontario Chick said ... I leave ours in the fridge in brine for a few days, then marinate and cook or freeze for later. We keep ours primarily for eggs. All of our quail for meat consumption are male grow-outs, although if we have issues with mean birds that are a bit older, they have wound...

Re: Good Morning
We managed to get outside and work on the coop this afternoon. We covered the two vents that were allowing all the snow to blow in. (There's another vent that is protected by the covered run.) We also secured a piece of tarp over the broken plastic in our "utility" area which gives a lot of wind pr...

Re: Good Morning
@labradors, I agree with Killerbunny . Is there any way you can make the coop more comfortable/appealing to your chickens?
