Just curious, what are you guys paying for each chick when dealing straight through the hatchery? I've bought mine locally at farm supply stores for $2.50 for standards and $5.00 for fancy breeds...

Cabin Fever is way to sweet! More of a late night pancake topping if you ask me

Pete, I'm very proud of them both! Em has tagged 2 in 2 years hunting with me. Hannah kinda got into high-school things and not really into the hunting like she used to be. (especially the 5 am...

The tubing listed in the link from Home Depot is irrigation tubing, meaning it is ment to leak water or fluid, much like a "soaker hose". I wouldnt use that stuff for sure (even if it were 3/4 or...

We put out 12 buckets just to try and make enough to be able to try it. Wound up burning the syrup pan on the evaporator! Finished off about 1 pint, tasted it, and decided to stick with the maple. ...

10 gallons on 180 taps. Only got to boil 4 times! Frustrating!! Oh well, we're already setting up another bush for next year..........keep on keepin' on!

My wife is even getting in the digs....there was a glob of some clear goo on the windshield today, and she suggested that I taste it, it might be maple syrup!

Great bonehead moves in maple history.

Tonight after a 12+ hour boil, I saw an amber bead on the filter tank. Took my finger and wiped it, and the tongue did the rest. At first I was...

It's my home stomping grounds.

I've been building a barrel evaporator over the past 2 weeks, and tonight after I finished welding the most beautiful bead of weld around the 8" exhaust port, I was pretty happily slapping my self on...

To catch my 8 year old sneeking into the fridge to slug it right out of the bottle. That's reason enough for me to make some more!
