Slice of Life Homestead

Slice of Life Homestead Solar powered, rainwater collection, building a pseudo Earthship home, growing food & raising 🐔, sharing an RV with our 🐕 and 😺 in middle-south TN.

Hi, we're Pete and Alex. This is our story, our little slice of life on our homestead in Tennessee. It's part diary, part lessons learned, and part sharing for others to enjoy. Questions, comments and suggestions are welcome as we chronicle our journey into homesteading and sustainable living.

A lot of us have made the run to tractor supply to get chicks that are supposed to be sexed. Normally you raise your chicks for a few months. They start to show traits of being female or male. For the male ones you curse the Tractor supply gods for sending you a male that should have been another egg layer instead. This time however, I cannot believe we got so lucky with such a handsome little guy. He has been named Gem. He will now be our stud rooster. We will soon process some of our hens that aren't laying anymore as well as our other 2 roosters..
