Self-Reliance: How do you?
-
Friend of the wife had a duckling follow her home. She been feeding it for a week and said its doubled in size. I screamed DUCK SAUSAGE into the phone. The bump should heal soon.

samspade Foie gras could be on the menu, perhaps!?

I’m fairly sure the eggs are a dud but there is something in a few of them, I can see some veins when I glass them but it feels like they would be further along if they were going to hatch. Oh well, we will try again and eventually when we move out of the suburbs we will have chickens, which I am sure my dogs will harass terribly!

Tex_77 after reading this now I want to watch the movie The Burbs!

the freedom wagon is 97% finished. Just need to add the dowel rod handle on front to drag it around. This will provide shelter for the 50 freedom ranger chicks that will move to pasture next week. More to come in the setup.The freedom wagon is helping my family avoid market prices for chicken and gives us the freedom to choose the chicken we eat, to the fullest extent. Freedom to choose the breed to meet the goals we have for our land, freedom to choose the feed and treatment that these chickens receive that will ultimately be feeding us and friends. If all goes to plan, cost on these will be well under $3/lb and will yield 225 lbs of bone-in carcass.

That’s a nice coop. Having it wheels is great so you can fertilize where ever as-needed.
Bonus, It looks fairly predator - proof.Paul

RafterW This picture is right after Jonathan claiming he will escape the burbs and I thought it was a picture of land he was looking at. then I scrolled down to his planned house and wasn’t too impressed. Looks like it should work great for your chickens though.

bocephus I don’t think Jonathon would survive long outside the city. I’d give him 3 days, maybe.
Maybe Jonathon 's wife has better hunter/gatherer skills.
