Our little farm has suffered a devastating loss. We’ve been fighting losses to raccoons for several months. Every time we had it dealt with, they’d find a new way. I was down to 4 hens and one rooster. On my nighttime check, they were all gone. We are now going to be doing some thinking on how best to start over. Please be patient while we figure it out.

After years of veganism to do their bit for the environment, Grylls and his family are now out-and-proud carnivores, following what they call an “ancestral diet” of red meat, offal, eggs, fruit and honey but no nuts, grains, wheat or raw vegetables. After seeing unhealthy effects of veganism on his children they sought top nutritional advice to introduce a carnivorous diet.

Here is the completed feeder project. You’ll notice I didn’t put any ports on one side. I did that intentionally because it butts up to my bulk waterer. So I have one side of my waterer with no drinking cups as well. This is a great system and cuts down on having to haul feed every day. It’ll hold about 200 lbs of pelleted feed. We just top off or fill as necessary. There is a top, I just didn’t get a picture with it on.

Todays project, build a new bulk feeder. With the last one, I bought plumbing fittings instead of preferring the prefab feeder attachments. It did flow well, so I had to do some modifications, and now we get too much feed loss. So I ordered the prefab fittings. My suggestion…. Just go that route. It really wasn’t that much more expensive than the plumbing I had purchased the first time and they come with the hole saw bit. I’m also mounting an upside down funnel in the bottom this time to help deal with the slope effect and evenly distribute the food to all the ports. The dogs are enjoying supervising me through the process and I’m fairly certain I hear them laugh every time that hole saw just about snaps my wrist. Smh. I will post pictures when it’s all finished.

Prepping for tonight’s egg delivery to Elizabeth McCordy and Lisa Stucker. Thanks for buying local!

3 weeks ago it was IV’s on the dog, today it’s IV’s on a hen. I knew those paramedic skills would come in handy someday. 🙄 We’ve been fighting raccoon issues for the last week and have lost 14 birds. This hen was lucky enough to survive the last attack. I’ve been syringe feeding her every few hours for the past two days. She remains super shocky, so today I’m starting with SQ IV twice a day along with syringe feeds. I’m exhausted, but determined to give this gentle girl a chance. So, the next time you hear someone disparaging farmers, tell them that farmers will go above and beyond for their livestock. Had this happened in the wild, this hen wouldn’t have had a chance. Today, myself and many other farmers, are spending our time trying desperately to save the animals that we are responsible for. This is what farming looks like.
