Yah. There's a regenerative culture that has been growing again here (el paso tx).It takes a lot of planning out into the future, as you cycle land through planting, grazing, resting etc.
You’ll want a biiiiig whiteboard!
I admire the heck out of those folks. That takes guts, as all farming does, but maybe more.
You must be delighted.
I attended a course at Ft. Bliss years ago. That land out there doesn't look all that great for growing stuff. Maybe I am quite wrong though.
The land down in the Lower Valley is good, but a lot of it has since been ruined, and needs reconditioning. El Paso used to be a farming city as far as I know, but now they're ruining it further with cookie cutter houses all over the remaining farmland.
I know!!You must be delighted.
I do have to point out though, given the amount of tax avoidance posting you've done, two pictures hardly make a dent in your current tax liability.
But they’re so dang fast!
, I’ll get back out there with garden fork and camera!
If you have the choice, maybe better to give treats and not pick them upSo… when you’re picking up a 7 week old pullet that first saw you less than nine hours ago, and they squawk in terror, is there any spot that you can give them skritches to help them calm down? (Like under a cat’s chin and between its ears.) She did seem to calm down at bit after a little face rubbing.
Note: no comb or wattles to speak of yet.
She’s easier to catch than the others when she’s eating. This is the Orp, of course.
I've been taming my new chicks using chest/crop rubs. They'll be getting treats as soon as they're old enough.So… when you’re picking up a 7 week old pullet that first saw you less than nine hours ago, and they squawk in terror, is there any spot that you can give them skritches to help them calm down?

I don't know why I didn't think of this, before! We have been talking about fencing off the property from the road and just letting the chickens have at it, hedges will make it much better! (I have not told the Egg Thief, yet.lol)
