Saturday May 21st saw the Newcastle suburb of Mayfield with a little transformation. Transformed into something quite appealing indeed for many of the locals and visitors on the day. What this tiny corner of Mayfield had gone and done on this Autumnal day in May was it turned itself into a, better block. This wasn't…
The sleet had stopped, and the temperature was slowly starting to climb when a man with black boots, a black leather jacket, black jeans, and fiery red hair walked up. His name was Joel Burckhard. He watched me as I finished stringing lights in a vacant lot on Main Street in Aberdeen, South Dakota.“That’s one kick-ass stage, man,” said Joel, lead guitarist for the Barstool Prophets. He was amazed at the transformation of the space. Just a few hours earlier, it was a vacant lot with trash. And, i

Wow! This winter has been some kind of crazy! It's way too cold! Y'all bundle up out there! We're fighting a serious case of winter boredom around here - with our chickens that is. They are plucking each other's feathers out, just because it's something to do. Not a good thing when temperatures are dropping so. I thought I would try my hand at making a boredom buster 'Flock Block'. It is the perfect way to entertain your chickens while providing them with some wholesome winter nutrition. And it's super easy to do! No need to spend $15 or more. Make it yourself. Save money, and know exactly what your feeding to your flock. Printable Recipe Ingredients: 2 cups Scratch Grains (This helps boost their metabolism and keep them warm.) 1 cup Layer Feed (I used pellets.) 1 cup Old Fashioned or Quick Oats (I used Quick Oats.) 3/4 cup Black Oil Sunflower Seeds (High in protein - to help grow back those missing feathers) 1/2 cup Cornmeal 1/4 cup Flour 1/2 cup Raisins, Dried Cherries, etc. (This time, I used a mix of Raisins, Cherries, and Cranberries.) 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (Multiple health benefits) 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (De-worming properties) 4 Eggs, beaten and shells finely crushed 1/2 cup Blackstrap Molasses (High in calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium) 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (Coconut oil is best, but you can use corn or vegetable oil if you don't have any.) Method: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray two 8 inch cake pans with cooking oil. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl, then pour into the large bowl. Using a spoon, mix everything together until well coated. Press half of the mixture into each baking pan. Smooth it as flat as possible. Use the back of a wooden spoon to create a small hole near the edge of your 'cake', for hanging. (see picture) The hole is not necessary if using with a swinging treat holder. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove to cool. Once completely cooled, remove the block by inverting the pan. It may be helpful to run a knife around the edges first. Placement is easy. Either run a piece of twine (or small rope) through the hole, and hang your 'better than Flock Block' in your run. Or, place it in a swinging treat holder for your chickens to enjoy! The convenient size of these blocks also make them easy to store. Just pop the second one in a gallon zipper bag until ready to use. Place it into the freezer for extended storage. Happy Chickens! The kitties seem to like it too... lol Related Posts you might enjoy: DIY Swinging Treat Holder for Chickens Chicken CRACK - They go CRAZY for it!

The ink is still wet and glistens but I just couldn't wait to post this one because I got it right! I feel like I don't have as much control as I'd like, perhaps I need to learn to use the tools better or maybe there are tools I don't know about. Anyway this is so much better than the one with backwards words :-D I printed 8 and only 2 are good, 2 I like even though they aren't perfect and 4 are not good at all. I'm learning. This time I used Mulberry paper and didn't have to dampen it. Now I'm looking forward to doing another one!
Different people get their boost of confidence from different things. While some of us prefer slaying in flats, others go for a good pair of heels as they make their way through the world. Different queens, different tools, right? However, heels can be quite confusing. There are block heels and stilettos, and many more. Which […]
