Did I miss yesterday too?! Goodness, I need to get back on a schedule.

Here's babo holding Koekoek, our larger dominicker. They're getting so big! I have a five day weekend coming up, and I plan to make them a new brooder out in the shop.

Having chickens around is nice. Especially if they get to roam around. Gives the property a little sense of freedom.

Indeed! Ours don't roam, but I'm planning on expanding their run. Free range is prohibited here, and I feel like we shouldn't break any more chicken laws right now. Maybe one day soon though.

Nothing says "freedom" like breaking bad laws. ;)

Haha chicken laws

howdy sir nateonsteemit! that's a super cute picture! ha! how big are you going to make the chicken run?

Made a little drawing of it. Rule of thumb is a minimum of 10 square feet per bird. We'll have nine in here, so they'll have more than enough room with space for a few more if we decide to add some in the future. Might be a good project for the upcoming long weekend...

ha! look at that little drawing, that's pretty well done by the way. well that will give you plenty of room and room to increase the flock as well, great plan sir nate!

Yessir! That's the plan. Giving us the option to add a few if need be. But I think our little flock of nine will be good to go for a while. If we add any, it won't be til the spring. I'd like a few Wyandottes now, but we're focusing on the soil and water for a bit.

howdy this fine Tuesday nateonsteemit...how many more years do you have before retirement? you aren't close to that are you? think how much you could get done if you were home all the time!

Retirement? Hah! What's that?

I'm only 29, retirement isn't for 40 more years lol

But maybe one day I'll be financially independent and not need a traditional job. That's the dream, but it's a ways off right now. Need more land for that.

oh wow well yeah you're practically a kid! lol. How would you use more land?

Meat production!

If we had more land, I'd do more of the same AND have meat birds, cows, and pigs. Being food independent would be an awesome feeling.
