I've always been independant minded & admired self-sufficiency. Raising my own food has always had an attraction to me.My first adventure was with my sister-in-law in the 1970s when we canned our own Bread and Butter pickles from Uncle Fritzs recipe.
In light of the tropical turn the earth is coursing upon,Americans have rallied together with ingenious ideas of how to stop the wasteful use of electricity and other sources of energy. This family has allowed the natural use of SNOW to insulate their windows and thus avoid wasteful use of gasoline in snowblowers.
How 'bout this beaut of an idea? Toss out the old refrigerator and use ORGANIC REFRIGERATION !
Wallah! They are growing nicely and feathered out.Two appear to be roosters and one a future hen. I call them my toy chickens.Little nick-knacks.Small enough to put up on a shelf.
This little gal couldn't wait until spring.She laid her tiny eggs in the horse bucket in one of the barn stalls.I paid it no mind since it was so cold .I couldn't imagine that they would actually hatch out.Well, once she accumulted the number that satisfied her,she took up residence & brooded upon them in December. Lo !! Six actually did hatch! Three died of various causes .She has three left.I wisked them out of the barn & brought them into the cellar and placed them in the turkey cage & hung a brooder light over them. They are quite beautiful now.I think because I give them a slice of pizza every day. (:>
