    That is why I am setting up a program for Kindergarten and school, like a community but they will pay for it someway. If it is only praying to God and teach there children better.

    My husband is still in denial, let him do the groceries and he is complaining but it will get better soon. I am preparing all I am able to do so, praying I do not have to say told you so. And he will find out what I have been doing al those years, he already thinks I am looney toons.

    Nana looks like a huge California does she not? She is so sweet, yesterday our son could really pet her and get a hold on her. No picking up yet, because she is not used to that and is to wild she could get hurt. Grabbing her by the sholder/neck works that she stays calm. But he is to small to pick her up that way, so have to practice she gets used to be picked up. For now I take a layer of, so he can pet her in the box.

    Your brooder set up is great, it will work for rabbits to.

    They are both great incubators, steady working machines.

    Our climate is 8b, but we are in a micro climate. Now it is below 7 c freezing. I watch Deep South Homestead, your climate is a lot warmer and humidity is a lot higher. We have a real winter, but hope to be mild but I think it is going to be extreme like Mr Danny is saying.

    If you ever come to Germany, please let me know.

    German food is tasty, but my tast is more Arabic and Indonesian style. I do not eat any pork (only kosher), almost impossible over here.

    In the Germany part of Freesteading, we are olso talking about German food same for France. Maybe you are already taking part?

    Buy direct close by, pick up scraps feeding and composting, try to get old stuff not wanted use ore fix and sell such things?

    Old trades and workmanship is wanted soon again, old machine you can fix modern ones with computer you are reliable.

    Get grow fix your own and trade is a good base.

    Same advice here with same zone, did not Deep South Homestead test white and black? They did not like the white and exchanged it for black?

    I understand, in our climate dry incubation is not a option.

    The MS is analog and the Hemel is digital, but I alway use Thermometer and hydrometer in the machines. With the MS I do the incubating and the Hemel the hatching. Different systems of incubation, MS slaglatten like a helicopter and Hemel ventilator, as soon as you got them running the keep on running like you set them up. And the best part is, that they are still being made and everything is still to order and fixed if needed. These machines are for life and to give to the next generation.

    MS

    Hemel

    Poule the Bresse are normal with incubating, but the Jersey and Barbezieux are a different story. Those giants are not so hardy.

    I could not upload pictures of Nana, her new name given by our son. Today I will try again, wish me luck.

    Thank you you are so sweet. You are going to be so right, she will be a big per. I hope she will give us nice young rabbits for mea, so see can stay many years. She is in a large box with a cage now, she can run around this winter inside. Spring they are going to get a voliere with a chicken coop, so we can lock them inside to be save at night.

    Germany with my German Husband and son, I miss USA so mutch but my life is in Germany now. So if you ever come to Germany let me know! I will make some pictures especially for you. Siamesische collor like a California rabbit I guess, you can tell me after seeing the pictures.

    All those crazy chicken ladies, makes life so mutch better. She was a special hen, all those great memories. Like you I miss special chickens, like good breeding roosters and hens. From this year we have 6 young chickens with a old rooster in the garden, our son takes care of them. They come to get him as soon as he is in garden, so a funny flock to see.

    Good you learned to incubate eggs! So do I for years now, saved years for the incubators I have now. Started with small old machines and sold them again, buying less older and bigger a couple times. The 2 I have now stay, perfect for us. What is you special method during lock down (no not corona but incubation), I have to use one with water cups and the other with water jug.

    Big animals more like huge animals and beautiful dogs to, very special gift from your brother in law still watching over you. I believe you how strong he can be, trained police dogs all working dogs and always kept one. Pup up to certified police dog, 10 dogs at one time. Next year we are going to get a pup again, specially for our son mostly.

    Now I must go to work, after work I will make some pictures hopefully I can upload them.

    It has no such meaning, I am dragon from birth sign and I can be like a sweet angel.

    Greet quality Petromax is, we have there https://www.petromax-shop.de/petromax_de/perkolator-perkomax-le28-aus-edelstahl.html , the big and small ones for coffee and tea. And a France Presse, from a different brand because I like Edelstahl.
