We’ve been finding so few that drastic measures were called for. Happy hens & healthy eggsNovember 6th, 2009 by HeidiLast week I let you in on why we started raising chickens and why for the sake of the animals I encourage you to think when you are shopping and vote with your dollars. But there are also health benefits for you and your family to consider. Why we raise chickensOctober 30th, 2009 by HeidiWe started raising chickens as part of our goal of self-sufficiency, to save money and to have a supply of eggs and meat from birds we knew had led a good and natural life. But the happy, truly free range, natural life our chickens have is a far cry from the conditions most chickens live in. What a weekendMarch 9th, 2009 by HeidiThese days it seems that weekends disappear in a flash and by Monday I need a rest! Saturday morning we ventured out to Seedy Saturday. I was on my best behaviour as I have already ordered most of the seeds we will need, well probably more than we need, but Steve choose a couple of packets and we found some other interesting stuff, but I will save more on that for tomorrow’s post. Very sad newsMarch 6th, 2009 by HeidiWe have just candled the rest of the eggs and there is no life. The second of the two hatchlings is still with us, we have some doubts about his health but we have no past experience to judge him against. Right now I am thinking I should have waited till my little bantam went broody. First Chick – still waiting …..March 4th, 2009 by HeidiStill only one broken free ….

Happy New YearJanuary 2nd, 2009 by HeidiFirst things first, we would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! 2008 was quite a year – well for us anyway! It probably ranks as the most life changing year, alongside 2006 when we emigrated! We started 2008 grieving and hoping for better things in the new year. The end of 2007 had seen the loss of my Grandpa, my job and in the very last days of the year, the very sudden loss of our kitten Chaz. I don’t think we could ever have imagined how much 2008 had in store for us! |
