    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    If anybody is still interested, here's just a little update. I took Peeps for a walk today for the first time, trying to leash/harness train em. (ps: can anybody tell by looking, male or female?) Peeps was born around the middle of december.

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    Just a quick update, the followup story (short version) is up on youtube here. An official story with pics went out to the media and ended on the dailymail first. They were supposed to put a link back to the video, but they forgot or changed their mind. Unfortunate, that many views would have...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    Thanks, some of that I have worked out already but not all of it. I'm leaning towards the more expensive enphase inverters but that should last a lot longer/be more reliable. I'll have to work out the specifics of exactly which pieces when I have a final starting budget, I'm not sure what...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    Yeah I've been reading and watching a lot of videos, I'll really amp it up when I'm about ready to actually do the first set of stuff. My state will buy the extra electricity. It's set up pretty nicely, I think. They do a 1:1 credit ratio. 1 kwh used = 1 kwh produced for each billing...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    I have none, I need to finish building my house first. It's stopped for winter. I'm building a 32' diameter (interior dimension) earthbag round-house. That's about 800 sq feet per floor and i'm aiming for 3 floors. A 2 story wall + a domed roof for the third floor. Hardened earthen first...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    Yeah, I feel guilty about even thinking about profiting from it, but at the same time. I am very poor. Don't feel bad for me or anything. It's by choice. I'm not in debt. I don't own a whole lot of stuff, but I keep my cost of living to next to nothing and before long it'll be a negative...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    The neighborhood kids don't think it's scary, I asked them once. Apparently it's more like a teddy bear then a scary bear. I was like "nooo, it's scary, rawr!"

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    SE Ohio. I built my own incubator and provided nothing goes wrong, I should have some peeps any day now. Day 21 will be this coming tuesday. 15 or so chicken eggs and 3 ducks. Those shouldn't hit till day 28 though. I have a photojournalist flying out to interview me about peeps. It's insane...

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    Yeah it really depends on how you look at things. I'm just some dude who's trying to build a home stead, a new life for himself. I decided to try hatching out some chicken eggs. I had some of my own eggs but the incubator I borrowed held 36, so I went over to the neighbors chicken farm and...

    I mean, it's not like Peepers LIVED in there, Few minutes here and there, especially when it was cold. Those news sites are really making it sound dramatic :-)

    Man Raises a Duck in His Beard

    My beard smells just fine. I had no idea those pics I snapped would blow up like that. Figures literally the worst pic I've taken of myself, my hair was all kinds of messed up. I had just woke up, no coffee, in my pajamas but a friend had requested an updated pic of Peepers. This is the...
