I am Very Tardy

I wish I would keep this blog up. I am so interested in
Homesteading, yet I always to forget to come over here and learn from
everybody.
We are hoping to start our garden soon, and are planning to get 12
chickens in the next couple weeks. We want to raise them for meat
and eggs. My daughter Coie is dying to butcher a chicken.
She's sort of a weird girl.
Glad you stopped by
Who's to say how often you post? Not I, said the pig! Let us know how the chickens go. The best breed, I think, for meat is the Cornish Cross ... fast growing, tender and moist.

You are tardy! Now I can call YOU "Homechicken" can't I??!?!?! Heh heh....!
So glad you all are getting settled in....We LOVE having fresh eggs....I don't like the butchering, but I'll do it. Good for Coie! That girl will be able to dig up a septic tank when she's older....;) Butcherin' of chickens builds character.....and muscles from pluckin' :)

You'll have to post of pics of your new beautiful little homestead! Can't wait to see.
I hope Coie does better cutting up her chickens than I did the first time...it took me nearly 2 hours! And everytime I had to crack a joint I'd nearly faint and have to lean over the sink! But...that was 21 years ago - a lot of chickens...er...water has gone under the bridge since then.

....yeah, well, I was all "big" about "we're gonna butcher our own pullets".........and now we have the 3 roo's in the coop awaiting the deed and I keep tellin' the guys - "let's wait for Dad to decide"........I'm becoming a weenie............aaahhhhh! We'll get around to it I 'spose - if they would just yip and howl like a coyote, I'd get mad enough to do it by hand....
will have to post when we finally do the deed........
blah - yuk......
;-p
