 How to Treat Chickens for Pasty Butt a Foot Infection and Mites How to treat chickens      As with all animals, chickens can have health problems. Our chickens have had both normal, and bizarre health problems. Our first problem was pasty butt, which I talked about in another blog post, but, why not talk about it again? Our second problem was a weird foot infection. Then our chicken’s latest health issue was feather mites.      Pasty butt is actually dried feces that is blocking the chicken’s vent. This normally happens with chicks, but it can happen to adult chickens, too. This problem has the easiest, most instantaneous cure, the cure is a simple wet rag. Take the wet rag and dab at and gently rub the chick’s vent where the dried feces is, this will soften the dried feces and eventually remove it. When one of our chicks got it, we caught it, either the day after it happened or the same day, because she wasn’t in any sort of discomfort. It ...

Sunday Brunch

                               Sunday Brunch   It's Been Said that Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day.     For many years my family has had the tradition of having an elegant brunch every Sunday. Why Sunday? Sunday is a rest day, Genesis 2:2-3 says, “ By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.” Because we use Sunday as a rest day, we, therefore, don't have much going on, so we have time to make and eat a big breakfast.      I normally am one who makes brunch, the staple of w h ich is eggs and bacon. Then, I will also make either waffles, cr e pes, or pancakes. If I make waffles, we usually have fresh or frozen strawberries and homemade whipped cream as ...

 How to Make Fresh Pumpkin Pie Starting from Scratch with a Whole Pumpkin      I’ve always been into baking, from simple cookies to Scottish scones, I’ve made it all. Recently, I’ve wanted to make a pumpkin pie, so I did. But this was not the ordinary pumpkin pie made from a can of Libby's pumpkin. I believe everything's better when you can make it fresh, so the adventure started with a freshly picked pumpkin. Being a gardener, my first thought was, “once I roast the pumpkin I can collect and dry the seeds to grow next year!” so instead of throwing away the seeds I saved them for planting.      I was concerned about how the pie would taste because the recipe I used didn’t call for Pumpkin pie spice, all it called for was cinnamon , ginger and ground cloves. Whats more is I couldn’t find the ground cloves in our vast array of spices. So I had to just use cinnamon and ginger. In the end though, the pie still tasted like pumpkin pie, to be hones...

                How to Make Blueberry Muffins  Making Blueberry Muffins from Scratch      Bake sweets and carry a big whisk , that's what I did yesterday because I was bored. When most people have nothing to do they turn to the TV, and eat snacks. Instead of turning on the TV and eating snacks, I turned off the TV and made the snacks.      Light and fluffy, with a crumbly topping, blueberry muffins are perfect for an early breakfast, a midday snack, or even something to munch on during a long road trip. Blueberry muffins require the perfect timing, and if you do it right, they take no longer than 25 to 30 minutes to make, plus twenty minutes in the oven. Along with simple ingredients, it is one of the best snacks I know of.      First things first, put liners in the muffin tray and heat your oven to temperature. Then you have to create the topping in a bowl, so that the m...
