I got my first chicks as a boy from Peels Hatchery in Port Perry Ontario. 52 "Large White" capon chick broilers and with the help of my dad who set up the brooder stove and kept it burning for the first month in April, I successfully raised all 52. Some of the enjoyment was repairing the old brooder house which had belonged to my deceased grandmother before I was born.<br /><br />The next year I got 104 female chicks and raised all but one which I accidentally stepped on even though my Dad had told me to be sure and shuffle when I walked around filling the water feeders. I can't ell what a shock it was to see that little chick laying there with its gut hanging out. I thought I had been so careful. I still feel bad about that 50 years later.I got 100 eggs per day from these large birds<br />My Dad was wonderful in helping me to set up an unused box stall in one barn where the threshing machine blew straw into the loft. The level under the loft had a dirt floor and was ideal for 100 hens winter and summer. We built 24 nests, a board in front for them to walk along in front of the nests , a perch made from old rails and a new door with stairs leading up to the foundation inside and out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028937124782550022.post-4256043381179778222016-01-24T20:36:38.377-08:002016-01-24T20:36:38.377-08:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Elizabeth L.

It is time consuming. I also run a small herb farm. Both take all my time. I appreciate the time you take to do all the things that you do Mr. Kimball and for sharing them for what are obvious, to most, helpful reasons. I'm sure you are making a killing selling this information for $1 or 2 (LOL, but I really wish you were!)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548558432921246121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028937124782550022.post-6732968415215474272015-12-13T13:02:52.583-08:002015-12-13T13:02:52.583-08:00I was reading some history of Klamath County, Oreg...I was reading some history of Klamath County, Oregon and read 'Vinegar Pie'.

C. Jarvis, M.D. "A famous doctor's guide to folk medicine practices of Vermont--the nature secrets of honey, apple cider vinegar and foods for health" I own the 196l version, and had no idea how beneficial apple cider vinegar is to our health until reading this. This particular book was published by Crest Books. So with this in hand, I'm looking forward to this new download about homemade vinegars! Thanks, Herrick.Elizabeth L.

The publishing house Lindsay Publications has closed its doors. (Retirement I believe.) It might be possible to expand your horizon a little and include old machinery manuals and processes. An example being the US Navy publication 'metal casting' it was published during the war years but is a applicable today as it was then for some homesteader that has the interest.<br /><br />Merely a thought.

I too would not even know about ANY of the things you post unless you share them. They are not in my circle.
