Chicken Fried in Korean Style Discover the secret to making perfectly crispy and delicious Korean Fried Chicken with our step-by-step recipe.

Our Rhode Island Red hen laid her first egg this morning. "Fairy" eggs are not that common in experienced ladies, but this girl is just now 18 weeks old. They're pretty cute though! For those of you that have chickens, do you do anything special with these tiny eggs? #chickenmama #chickenaddiction #eggs #eggbasket #chickensofinstagram #chickenlife #homesteadchickens #firstegg #rhodeislandred #cluckcluck #lookhowlittle #cute #aww (at Stoutsville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzbBh5AITL/?igshid=1ur3h1y8e7qsx

I'm incubating Cuckoo Maran eggs for a friend and it is day 11, so I did some candling. Out of the 31 eggs he wanted incubated, 23 were viable. Quite a few were not fertilized (like the first picture) and 3 of them stopped forming at some point in the process (see last photo - there is a definite blood line towards the bottom, showing that the chick stopped developing). I've had some issues maintaining heat this time around, so that may have played a part, but I can't be sure. I will candle again on day 17 to weed out any bad eggs before we go into lockdown on day 18. Candling of eggs is such a neat process, having a second opinion while you're doing it also eases a lot of insecurities. I'm thankful that my husband is a great partner in my chicken addiction! #onbakerroad #cuckoomaran #candlingeggs #chickenaddiction #chickenmama #incubatingeggs #hatchingchicks #chickenlife #crazychickenlady #chickensofinstagram #smallfamilyfarm #ohiochickens #ohiofamilyfarm #smallfarmohio #rurallife #countryliving (at Stoutsville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B__eyTuAtDW/?igshid=o8b46fnh0spu

Our chicks, today versus a week ago. Although we lost one (there was a small, violent thunderstorm that scared them and the smallest one was trampled), they're very healthy and growing like crazy! #chickenlife🐓 #chickenaddiction #chicks #chickensofinstagram #crazychickenlady #chickenmath #countryliving #country #countrylife #smallfarms #ohiochickens #ohiofarm #farmhousedownthelane #familyfarm (at Stoutsville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uXbHCAyTB/?igshid=gxuk54inq31t
