Skip ahead to the 2:55 mark to get to the meat of the video. I have been watching this guy's videos and I think he has his head screwed on straight. He is plain-spoken and doesn't seem to be interested in blowing smoke up anybody's pant-leg.
Today did not go as planned. Quicksilver insisted on dressing in a frilly dance outfit, so we did not go outside.
Then an opportunity to pick up some livestock popped up. Not only was it a species that is on my list, but it was the breed I was looking for and they were only ten miles away. Did I mention that they were at a VERY attractive price and it included three females and one male?
The only fly in the ointment is that I did not have housing set up for them because I hadn't been actively looking for them.
I reached out and made the deal. Drove over and collected the animals. Then they sat in the driveway while I cobbled together some housing.
Today's goal was to put together housing and a run that will contain them. Tomorrows goal is to make it predator proof and make it easier to maintain them.
I know a lot more people that Had chickens than Have chickens. Seems like something you had to be raised with. Hope it works for you. ---ken
ReplyDeleteChickens the entry animal of the farmer :-)
ReplyDeleteThe main problem I've found is folks try to go cheap on their chicken houses and the predators love them (insert Lional Richie "all night long" here).
If you're a fan of raised beds like I am making a chicken tractor sized to fit your beds gives the chickens a treat cleaning up the garden beds AND vastly reducing the bugs, and weeds IF you let those little rototillers do their thing for a few days.
The ability to adapt on the fly is a very marketable and useful skill.
ReplyDeleteChickens or bunnies?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for bunnies. With a flock of 3 chickens, you really don't need a rooster, unless free-ranging (and even then...)
DeleteI hope they'll turn out to be wallabies.
ReplyDeleteOk Joe, drop the camo what species is your 2 females and one male critters?
ReplyDeleteChickens, rabbits or wallabies (LOL) or?
Rabbits or chickens the main problem is often the same going cheap on their housing and thus predator problems.
