The best curry (the spice mix) I ever used was from a Menonite bulk food store in Tipton, MO. They were really nice people and their spices were the best I have ever used.

Unfortunately I no longer travel there. Guess I should call them and order through the mail, but I never have tried that.

We eat a lot of chicken and rice. My wife is great at cooking that. She only uses the chicken breast in that, and I take the rest of the meat and make chicken vegetable soup with it.

We have not kept chickens on the farm for over 60 years, but I am thinking about getting some pullets soon. We have a lot of waste grain from our seed cleaner. We sell most of it to the ranchers for their quail (for the hunters), but I would still have plenty to help with the chicken feed issue. Fresh eggs are good.

If you get bantums they'll nest around the perimeter of your house and barn. give them a small shelter to escape to in case of raptors. Otherwise they are quite tough little birds. The females are passive but "cold" ~ emotionally they're not much different than a snake. I've had friendlier wild terrapins in my lawn!

My rooster was a real fighting cock. He loved his spurs and would ride around on my shoulder, then fly! Guy really loved the part of a flying chicken! Nobody messed with him.
