So nice to see you so blessed, just watch out with your dog so close the fire. To warm do not pet them to mutch, keep them hardy.

Each seed gives a chance, we are blessed with some seeds again this year. Also Goji, 5 different kinds.

I put the eggs in the incubator and not let the chickens go broody. The ladies are to heavy and will crack the eggs. It will cost there health, so no natural brooding here.
Also the amount is to mutch to handle, 2 big machines do the work for all of us.

On the homestead and on the training field training police dogs, after getting PH1, PH2 and so on they go to work and one always stayed with us. Now it is time to get a new puppy, to train for our sun. Does that count to?
My therapy is growing stuff and enjoy the live chicken show, seeing our sun being happy just being a kid. Drinking coffee or tea and relaxing on the porch, a cood cook out with dear friends.

Does it help to know it is not so nice to let them live, know people wo breed with them that is not my cup of tea. Those are missable chickens, they think different and the chickens have a lovely life.
Do not worry, if you give them a good life by taking good care of them. With respect from beginning to end, also butchering and preparing it is ok. Be blessed with there offering, it is good not to forget and feeling.

Not going to start, because they all think I am crazy. If they think a crazy chicken lady, they are right.
Yesterday the German government was saying in the news, to get supplies for 10 days. Nothing new and before it was for longer, but it is a start. My husband said a couple of times I was going to far and was acting crazy. So I told him to watch the news, and he said we will get the list. Until I explained it was for 1 person, he said right away not to get 20 l water and so on. I told him I already started on the lis, because I am crazy like all said. But he does not know it is for more than 10 days, so how crazy I realy am.
I am going to ask a friend how the fire department is preparing, because they are the ones with THW to take care in a case of emergency, also with food and water. Maybe they can use some more help, and I can help out. Helping and getting more info, is of importance I think.
Is this a good theory?

Same here, wish all the best of luck!
That is going to be a nice greenhouse, hope to see green pictures as soon as it is finished!

The Black Jersey and Barbezieux are just a pray as well to, chicken have to lurn fast to the dangers and have enough hiding places.
Remember the color gives the use, white for meat and also good amount of eggs, and black for eggs.

I prepared to be able to work with hand tools, just in case we run out. So we can still grow.
And help out the farmers, in exchange for milk and such. If I have to help out with milking by hand, guess not many people can still milk by hand. But with no power, they have to and that 2 times a day with all those cows. Cooling the milk is going to be a big problem, not picking up the milk. But maybe there is a way to process some milk fast, enough to be used that day or more if cool weather.
Making cream, butter, Joghurt, cheese and just milk. Hope it will not come to this, so mutch will be spilled and lost.
All the animals in danger in there stalls, if power is gone. And people to, may not think of all that.

Also a crazy chicken lady? Welcome to our crazy preparing people freesteading association

Thank you, your kind and wise words give me hope, and for sure I keep on going.
Today the acker is seeded with grass, for hay and silage. A peace with vegetables and around fruits and nuts, permaculture a la market garden. Grass, herbs, grains and flowers also, and for fresh feeding.
We are so blessed, dry enough to work the fields with the tractor and rain right after seeding. And also just in time in autumn before the first frost and winter.
-
Even for longer than that and even 2 times, guess I really am a crazy chicken lady.

Thank you, I realy needed those words.
