Black walnut syrup

You know that on our farm we make maple syrup (I think, and if you don’t, I will post about maple syrup in a bit!). But last year-ish, we bought a property next to ours with a river on it. It also had a lot of woods, with quite a few black walnut trees (And a lot of other types of trees, we even think possibly some chestnut trees) in it. Well, we have known for a bit that you can make syrup out of black walnut sap, but we have never had enough trees to do it ( The sap is very low concentrated in sugar). But this year, we decide that we should try it with the black walnut trees down at the farm ( This is what we call the new property. Also, yes, we do get a lot of black walnuts, even though personaly I do not like them that much.). Well, we got about two pints, and it is delicious! Also, we found somone buying it for, like, 320 dolars a gallon!

Comparison of chicken, duck, and turkey eggs

Before we all the types of the birds that we have now, I always wondered if all of their eggs tasted different. However, they do not really vary in flavor, only in the size of the egg and color of the shell. Chicken eggs are the smallest, and ours are white and from breese chickens. They have a good texture in both the whites and the yolk. The turkey eggs are the second smallest, and also second biggest, which is suprising, considering how big they are. They have basicaly the same flavor and texture of chicken eggs – Unless you attempt to turn them into golden eggs, whick is just a egg that is mixed in the egg by spinning it around, while you hope it does not make a mess, and then hard boiled.-. Duck eggs are the largest. They have the same texture and flavor of the first two types of eggs, but duck eggs have a bigger yolk than chicken or turkey eggs.

Wild Turkey

Last year, we hatched some more turkeys from eggs. One of them we thought was a brown spanish black, because it’s soft little chick fluff was brown and a bit speckled. However, it grew up and we realized what it looked like- A wild turkey hen that was hanging around our pasture a few years ago. Then we realized that the few eggs that were not speckled- our turkey eggs are speckled, and they range between dark and dense speckles to very few or none and we thought that it had just been a normal spanish black egg, but we now think that it was a wild turkey egg- from a wild turkey that flew into the pasture and layed an egg. We don’t know if it is half black spanish or a purely wild turkey, but it is definetly not a black spanish black, even if it is a spanish black!
