Yes, you never know when thing's can happen, or if they put us through another lock-down again. Having plenty of canned good's on hand is a good thing, and put the closet date to expire in the front. If you stock up on some dry good or dehydrated thing's, then don't forget to also stock up on water, because you will need it for those plus to have some for drinking also. If you had to, you could fill up your bath tub with water. Your water heater also hold's water in it if you need to use it also.

That was one of the things I liked about this place, it has a well. The seller did not tell us it goes dry some years! This year, we still have well water, but last year at this time the well went dry, no monsoon rain to keep it going. It is not a big well, but it could be run off of a generator in a pinch, and it would be enough water for us and the animals to drink. It is not plumbed to the house, but it would beat having to stand in some line for a water hand-out. In the desert we kept about 15 gallons of water on hand, just in case.

Anybody here need new large sized unmarked egg carton's? $10.00 for 50 of them is a good price.

That is a good price I have been paying .59 each when I need them.

medicine also, is having stock-outs right now. e.g., generic flonase in a multi pack is due to arrive at my place 8/23, I ordered it yesterday with 2-day shipping!

I started watching YT channel Perma Pastures Farm to see another sustainable dual-purpose chicken system - youtu.be/CJjhO3CmjLk - or Chicken Tractor on Stearoids 3.0
He weans the chicks off commercial food and puts them to work making compost.

I had found a desert permaculture some time ago, too.

Can some one tell me what going on with her tail feathers ?

Starting to molt already? Are feathers around their pen?

Yes .. you no how long molt last ?

It can last a few weeks. When it is so hot, it can send them into a molt. They will stop laying and shed their feathers, then grow new feathers. Probably get back to laying when it cools off.
