Birds are probably the very first things any new homesteader thinks about raising… and for good reason: they’re small and so easy to care for!
Chickens are of course, an all-time favorite, since they lay eggs almost all year round, and they’re a good source of meat, but guineas, ducks, geese and quail are also very good options.
Which ones are right for you? Read our articles to find out, not to mention everything about raising them, incubating eggs, butchering and more.
We just reached our first two dozen eggs produced on our homestead. It’s not much, but it’s a great start!! I have learned a few things along the way though…
For a while we had trouble keeping the chickens from roosting in the trees at night. Well, I finally found a solution!
We finally got our first egg from our own backyard hen!
These guys sure are noisy!
… or any other feed for that matter.
Well, we finally let the chickens out to free range. But how would we get them back in??
“Do you have any idea how fast a chicken can run? Yeah… I didn’t.”
The first time that I was given farm fresh eggs I was surprised at how different they are from store bought! So, I thought it would be fun to do a taste test…
