TWO LESS CHICKENS

We lost two chickens yesterday.  I went down about 1:00 to give them some scraps and one was missing. I only counted 14, but I didn't see any signs of the missing pullet. When Corey got home at 2:30, there were feathers all over the pen and another one was missing.

He went into the pen and found one half eaten and another with it's head gone. The one with the missing head was in a pile of leaves. Because it was brown, it was the same color as the leaves.  The fence didn't seem disturbed, so we think a fox must have gotten under it. Both Corey and I probably interrupted a meal.

Because we wanted them to free range, we have a movable fence that can be relocated to different parts of the lot.  They have about 1200 sq feet of grass to scratch around in. We need to think of a way to make the fence more secure.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

The Helianthus Tuberosus, or as most people know it, the Jerusalem artichoke grows naturally and it's usually thought of as a weed, but it's a great source of food. In addition to people food, it can be used feed livestock, make alcohol, or sweetener.

American Indian tribes used the Jerusalem artichoke before European settlers came here.

Because the plant looks like a sunflower, it's also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or the Italian name for sunflower - girasol (which which kinda sounds like Jerusalem).

They're an ugly root, but they taste pretty good. When they're cooked, they taste similar to an artichoke, and if you eat them raw, they taste like a potato but with the feel of a carrot.

I planted some this spring and dug up a couple the other day.  They will still be good to eat next spring as well.


This is all the roots from a single plant.
