No one warned me about pissing out your ass after a 48 hr fast….

I’ve done a few 16-24 hour fast but just did my first 48… things were getting dicey! 🥴

A little over a year between working with the city council to pass a backyard chicken ordinance and actually getting them! The girls we originally wanted from our local farm had 40 of them slaughtered by a couple of foxes… We had to go with some that are younger than we wanted. Nevertheless we are now chicken owners! A lot more posts to come! Follow along for the journey! Lol! #homesteading #iowa5a #chickenstr #permies #grownostr

This greenhouse really has helped with my starts. I know I’ve posted before but the growth is shocking compared to years passed. I just didn’t realize how much the heat and humidity helps to get the little bastards going! #gardening #homestead #permies #iowa5a #grownostr #plantstr

Tried the place tonight and honestly the worst crab I’ve ever had… I swear the butter was melted margarine 🤮

Not sure how much of this wood shavings I’m supposed to put in here but I’ll figure it out. Also added some coffee grounds bedding from the farm and fleet store. Have the feeder built also… almost ready for the ladies! #homesteading #chickenstr #iowa5a #permies #grownostr

What’s everyone storing their chicken feed in? #asknostr #grownostr #chickenstr

Added hardware cloth to the windows, some trim and filled screw holes with wood putty. One more piece of trim then paint! Well… of course chickens!🐓 #chickenstr #gardening #homesteading #iowa5a #garden #chickens #grownostr
