BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

Well Thank You! Your welcome to join if you would like to!

Thanks I don't think I could take the whole thing seriously enough LOL. I've studied mythology for too long and compare everyone's mythos and compare it to how this effects the people, etc.

I'd end up condescending and rude

Okay!

I love the new thread! I can see I will be more of a reader than a poster, however, as I'm not knowledgeable about the Bible and have only read sections. I'm looking forward to this, but don't expect to see my comments. I'm there to learn.

Howdy Guys today has been fairly good. My sprouts are coming up. Not very big yet. Me and mom ordered some chicken leg ID bands. Im getting ready to start phase 1 of my culling program. Im culling for winter laying. Im killing the birds yet but they are going to be tested so we wont have slackers next winter. And so I can get a idea on how many to reorder.

The worst thing that happened to me today was when I jammed my pinky toe into the rowing machine. It moved the nail back and cut me up me up.

Ive been cleaning the coops some and got the feeders and waterers ready for Phase 1. Im going to move all hens that dont appear to be laying into coop 2 and after a week see how much they have layed.

One of these days I will watch where my feet go......one day. Maybe not tommorow, or the next day. One day...........




ETA: When we lived with my Granny, my sister was messing with the vent in the hallway. I went running down the hallway and cut my big toe on the vent it has a scar today. It was on the same foot.

Howdy faithful followers!! Not much going on in my world. Except we got more snow last night ontop of the ice and snow we had. We are also supposed to get A LOT OF SNOW for Christmas.

I've been thinking about my phase 1 culling. I think I should wait until March to cull for laying. I dont know what I was thinking by separating them to cull for winter laying. If I did that no one would be left. Foolish Buff!! I feel stupid for posting that yesterday......

I went and looked at the sprouts again they shot up over night. So far the wheat is the only things up really good. The oats are popping up but no alfalfa sprouts yet. Its not ready to feed yet.

My toenail is cracked right in the middle. It looks like heck.

How tall are you letting them get before feeding them? Ive done mine in soil, I wanted the alfalfa to sprout some.

Shake your vanilla? Did I miss something?

I let them get about an inch or so long. I did mine in water with a presoak for 24 hours.

Shake my vanilla...that's literal. I am making homemade vanilla extract, and I shake it up every time I do the sprouts rinse, so that I don't forget. It is conveniently located in my kitchen cupboard beside the sink, so I make it a habit now to do both. It's also how I keep from forgetting my sprouts
