Got the homestead, learning to grow some foods, but eggs are the way for me. Gotta raise those chickens, lol. My uncle has beef cows, and then we have a nice deer population around here, so I'll be hunting this winter for sure. Last season was a bust because of personal issues.
Person issues… not wanting to kill Bammmmbbiiii 😝
Are you sure that population is nice? Or are they gonna munch the place to the ground? 😝
I hope you are able to safely bag some deer this fall.
On a serious note, have you thought of growing fodder for your chickens?
I like millet cause you can just store the entire head and throw it all to the chickens.
No, I didn't get to hunt because my father was on his death bed the whole first part of the season, passed in December, and I was too depressed to go out and hunt, and really didn't need to be in the woods by myself with a gun. So when someone says 'personal issues' take it as it's said and move on.
I am not currently growing fodder, but have looked into it. I am having to restart my entire flock from pullets because of damn hawks. My uncle that helped get me started is in the same boat between hawks and recently coyotes.
