Homesteading

This space will be for all things homesteading. I will post about the basics of raising poultry to building a raised-bed garden. How can becoming more self-sufficient make you happier? I will tell you that once you see the fruits of your labor, it is exceedingly satisfying.

What chicks?

Our chicks are all grown! We have about 30 laying hens at the moment, plus a laying turkey. We also discovered recently that out of our batch of 30 chicks we received, 3 are roosters. It took awhile to notice, but at about 3.5-4 months old we noticed they were larger than the others and had very distinct characteristics. Once they finally "cock-a-doodle-doo'ed" it was confirmed. There is always the possibility of receiving males, but you just take the chances. Last year we ended up with 3 roosters, but gave them to a friend. We are going to hang on to these guys for awhile and try to incubate some eggs. We sure do love our little funny farm.
