INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[ocap]

That might get a bit crowded. It would for sure be downright noisey

Just to let you know I have been paying attention.... it can also get nosey

Morning!

Hey! What about mine?

you woke up late, I made a second pot, hope you like Folgers Columbian

Progress? Hardly! I hate seeing it. The family farm will be non-existant before long, though not in my lifetime or yours, likely. All being taken over by corporations. Kids don't want to stay on the farm when they can make big bucks in town & not have to work so hard

We have traded a spider stick for a plunger in the name of progress

That and it's almost impossible to make money on a family farm situation, especially if you are kind to your animals.

Yup.

 

[BullChick]

I'll give you some if you let me off your porch...

No deal.

I didn't wake late. I just didn't bother with this thread for a while.
Folgers? Isn't that the stuff they serve to people in prison camps?

 

[kajira]

Yup.

I've been reading a lot of the homesteaders books, and the investment that you put into it, solar power for keeping your electric/well, etc going, butchering materials, processing stuff... all of it takes money invested, i doubt you'd ever break even. At least not for a long time.

Granted, you could do it fairly barbarically, like people did 200 years ago, but they also used to get sick from infections and all sorts of other complications.

If you're going to do things right, it's gonna cost money, especially if you're humane to everyone and everything involved.

Banti doesn't get hers. I don't allow food or drink in the sun rooms.

 

[Pensmaster]

Or mebbe it's just the world's longest dirt road.

Could be. As I sip my coffee. Plenty here if you stop by.

Morning everyone.

I have never been to prison but my son's ex has (bad checks), if I ever see her again I will ask.

Bye all, I need to start the chores and listen to Pastor Fred.

When we first moved here I thought I'd try and at least make it one week on the foods we grew here. Let's just say I'd be dead and most items I raised had to te started from things I bought. Thank God for farmers even though I complain about how they do things. My feeble attempts were ruined by a single hail storm. Now whatcha gonna do, can't eat dirt.

Hmm..... Tried to send yours but iPad won't let me.

Sally, Banti, and others, how does this AC look? It's about day 10 on the Ancona ducks. I've been running humidity super low per recommendations, so is this right? Looks big to me but I've never hatched ducks.

Looks a little big to me. Let me go see if I can find the picture thingy.

...... I'll join you...... We would have a blast. .......

That would indeed be a blast.

I tried this, it's false advertising.

That's hilarious
