RE: Something Extraordinairy is Happening... Steemit: through the EcoKnowMe lens

Yum! Sounds delish! will certainly stop by. I must've gotten my wires crossed figuring out whom is whom, still making connections of faces, places and stasis. I wish I had too many eggs! Getting farm quality is unpredictable offline here, easier to just have your own hens :/

Sort:  

NOT easy having chickens here. I just stopped the whole thing about free ranging them as of all 11 we have ever had only one is left. Lee, my poor lonely chicken.
Since I have put her in the chicken house and only allowed her, with her newly clipped wing, access to the run I have found a snake in the coop with her and yesterday a groundhog in the run with her. She makes me more and more nervous.
At least I am getting a lot of exercise running out to check on her loud squawks throughout the day.
Build another one of the tire based living quarters, safe as you can make it, before you get those chicks!

Hope she fairs well, but she seems to be in good company! Maybe when the new HQ comes, they can have a club! For ladies that don't give a cluck, Or Tired house, Sprightly Chicks HQ. Someone told me about a chicken house/ greenhouse combo that works really well. fertilizer, warmth, CO2 and plant leftovers endlessly cycling with eggs as a side effect.

At this point I would say this option: For ladies that don't give a cluck
We can start a new community!

Next chicken house I will get one like in the video below. It gets really cold here in the winter and then the water could be kept inside and not freeze...wouldn't need electricity to keep it warm.
