Granny

Granny's laying green. She laid yesterday. I hope she lays today. Six chickens, One egg a day is bad math.

Shadow

This is the new homestead dog. We got her yesterday afternoon. She will provide protection for the urban farm, companionship to our daughter Eva, and motivation to exercise for me. Her name is Shadow and she is our new baby girl.

An egg a day

I am anxious for my chickens to be settled in and each of them laying an egg a day. Is that's much to ask?

Chicken Little? no, I chicken a lot!

I know that I do not keep this blog up and going much, but perhaps that will change...

I have jumped on the homesteading band wagon. I didn't know there was one till I started taking an interested in this stuff. Then, while researching, I came across a ton of it. Anyhow I am in, and i am hooked.

Let me summarize. We have 6 hens, 3 rabbits, several raised beds for veggies, about 8 blueberry bushes, 4 rain barrels, brew beer, can food, and bake breads.

Now let me give you some details. This didn't happen all at once. My memory is horrible so I cannot tell you the order it happened in. All I know is 4 or five years ago none of this was true. Now I have an urban farm. my favorite part this far is the chickens.
