    We just bought a new larger freezer, and put our newly harvested 4-H steer and the chickens we harvested in the spring into organized bins. It is a beautiful sight to behold. Enough food to last a very long time. Knowing where your food grew up is good. 😁😁 it is a great feeling.

  • @plurmingo1
    @plurmingo1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You build stationary runs…. And when you don’t have anymore in that run, you plant a garden in there. When the garden is gone, you put the next bunch of chickens in to clean and turn the soil. But you knew that, 🤔 right ! Them duck were like “oh snap, he swims too”. Not enough hands on, our ducks come when called. Like to have lost it laughing when Lacie grabbed that duck by the neck.

    I like Batman the rooster. I loved how you showed how chickens like to be held and ran with the hen like you were running for a touchdown. So funny Mike! The boys seemed to like it too. Time for butchering the meat ducks? I see how you have to rotate all the various "housing" options on the homestead. I put a door on the front of my chicken tractor because you did and it seemed like a good idea. Funny how Josiah was expecting Selah to jump in the pond to get the Peking ducks over to the chicken tractor. Wow, use the canoe to get the rest? That was hilarious watching you herd the Peking ducks off the pond. They aren't going to make it easy to get them inside the chicken tractor. I hope the processing went really well! Wow, you're doing the meat chickens and the meat ducks! Thanks for this Dickson family!
