This has nothing to do chickens.... So buckle up!

As many of you know- I am a prepper. Basically, teaching myself life skills in case SHTF scenarios.

Random thoughts while packing eggs..

We are being inundated with artificial intelligence- The consensus is that in order to stay ahead and on top of some sort of world order we need it.

Because all the other superpowers are investing in this technology and obviously we do not want to be left behind- regardless of the costs- to the environment, our water or to our bodies...

But doesn't that in itself leave us more vulnerable to attack? To the so-called EMP's- ( Electromagnetic Pulse) You know one of those things goes off and the whole damn grid goes down. Along with cars, phones and medical devices- along with AI... If everything's running off of it... Where does that leave us?

If we are running everything with artificial intelligence wouldn't that make it so much easier to attack us?

No offense. I'm getting ready to buy an old '70s truck just for giggles...

Random thoughts- brought to you by my own brain power....

Your welcome! Now stay thrifty friends- And learn those life skills!

Roy Dean a damn fine dog- the best of the best and the finest Livestock Guardian Dog...

We laid our beloved boy to rest today. He had a skin condition and it had continued to worsen.

Unfortunately antibiotics were not helping. He had no quality of life and we had to say goodbye to our gentle giant.

We brought him home in September of 2015- and he has protected my flock for over a decade.

You were a good dog my friend and will be sorely missed.

I know you are chasing rabbits...and keeping God's Chickens safe!

Skunk - 2 Hens 1 Rooster and countless Marsbars and Opal Eggs- 1 Human nose ruined

Holly- Tagged a skunk in the pouring rain... Then... Carried said skunk out of coop with nesting box (NC has no bag limit or season- may take said skunk legally)

🚨Refrained from getting sprayed... But may never regain a workable nose

🥚Also- carried eggs to house in two cardboard 30 egg flats... That disintegrated as I went up the stairs and dropped 60 eggs...

Good Gravy- going to bed after bath

Beak & Feather Farm - Challenge Accepted .... Cleaned Biddy Barn!

I was a bit jealous after seeing Sheila's- work in her chick barn. Thanks for getting my ADHD brain back in check-

The Dust...the dander... Was getting too much! We utilize fans to help pull out during the mid day- we're still having crazy temperature gaps with it being chilly in the evenings.

These babies- are growing so fast! Mine have always been chunky monkies- but this year we switched to Kalmbach chick feed and wooh.... I really didn't think it would make that big of a difference...

But- good gravy it has...

Now if I could only train them not to kick it out in the floor that would be great.... Anyone have any tips?

Also- looks like I am buying some more hatching time brooders- overall, I like them... I like how lightweight they are -- But am I the only one that doesn't trust the automatic waterers... ?

If I could figure out a way to hang some rent a coop waterers that would be great- anyone do an alternative to that instead of using the watering system. Right now I'm using like chick waterers and grow out waterers in there but I'd love to give him a little bit more room.

We're headed toward a hot summer... So looking at getting one more window ac... Last season I have a fancy ductless split but it had electronic issue no one can fix. -

I'm just killing them. I did put external filters to help with the dust and dander... But looks like I maybe replacing them every year- I go in and I clean and vacuum all the dust and dander off of it almost everyday....

Oh... The woes of keeping baby chicks with clean air- But it's getting warmer and we'll be moving some of my grow outs out soon... They are fully feathered but I am always really hesitant about putting them out too soon...

Stress...equates to issues!

Happy Friday ... Ya!!

Happy Mother's Day- from the free-range chaos crew!

May you have a few moments to yourself!

My secret is I just hide in the bathroom 🤣

All kidding aside...Can I tell you the last couple days have been the busiest of my entire life... Too blessed to be stressed

So if I seem a little bit frazzled you'll know why...

My darlings we know the dreams, stories, the magic wouldn't happen... If we didn't do our part- I raise a glass to all who raise lives-- we're in this thing together... Love ya😘
