The farm has been quieter than usual. We still have our pigs that we are feeding and growing until they reach breeding age in a couple of months. Then, we will find them some nice females to start the breeding process. Our remaining chickens have been secured with an additional electric fence. There have been no intruders, which is promising for our large number of hens that are arriving in a couple of weeks. We are getting about 30 hens delivered, and they are about to start laying eggs. It should be very fun. On average, a chicken will lay an egg every other day—that is quite a few eggs! What will we do with almost 15 dozen eggs a week? Omelets for breakfast! Kidding. Great question.
This is something that Wick and I have wanted and pondered for so long. Our goal was to figure out how to raise these animals, provide food for ourselves, and then slowly scale up to try to be a hand in feeding our community.
