RE: ๐ I'm trying to resist going to the bar too early ๐ How about a Chicken blog ๐ Johana is away so I'm in charge. LOL
That is a lot of chickens you have there. You raise them to sell or just for your own consumption? My Sister wants to add a chicken coup so we can all have fresh eggs, but the Village doesn't allow them.
Enjoy the your beer!
Everything, my idea is 1-200 eggs per day will keep us through retirement pus my ability to do anything. This is for my wife only.
I have other ideas for me on the Pacific Ocean, where my true life is.
Cheers
That is an ambitious goal. A couple hundred eggs probably means lots a lot of work.
Not at all, some chickens lay 2-3 eggs per day. All you need to do is feed them lots. and pay for the right type, which I don't have. I'm evolving by learning, today is good, tomorrow gonna be great. LOL
Cheers
Didn't realize they laid that many eggs. Still a lot of chickens for 200 eggs, but I have no concept of how much work 1 chicken is, forget 50 or 75.
If you get a chance take a look at my last cooking with kids post.
BTW, will have another one going up that I will promote. If you get a vote in early you can earn some of the curation rewards. I've been using steemdunk for this and it's worth checking out for sure. That is why you get votes on 2 posts no matter what each day. Not sure if you care about the extra $, but it's easy rewards as I will be promoting posts going forward to grow my account.
Most chickens don't, there are 2 breeds that can, but have to be fed handsomely. I'm still learning as I go. the difference in price is $0.60 or $1.25 per chick. so I'll be all dialed in before going that route and get rid of the ones we have first. Nothing easier than raising chickens, I worked on my uncles farm as a kid and he raised 500,000 at a time in 2 two story buildings. Feed and water is all they need.
Cheers
500k that is crazy...wow.
It's all automated now. feed and water plus if even a light goes out the computer calls to let you know. But they still have to be Picked by hand when the truck arrives, 12 in a cage to the cleaning factory. That is hard skinky work all night long. Then clean and prep for the new batch coming in. 2-3 times a year.
