Fodder for chickens
30/07/2022
So today at the PoDunk I will be working on staining the coop and other animal enclosure and adding chicken wire to it. Can’t decide if I am going to put rabbits in it or quail. Also going to set up the fodder system for the chickens. Stay tuned lol

So we just had lamb steaks and eggs for breakfast. Exploring new food to see what the next thing is for the home front. They were pretty tasty. Guess we are getting sheep instead of goats or maybe both 🤷♀️ who knows lol

So I try not to be ”that sappy chick” but bare with me lol . I was cleaning up the sunflower area yesterday and there is something about gardening that can absolutely help you do some deep thinking. I tried to explain to my dear husband my thoughts but I am not greatly articulate when it comes to icky deep thoughts, and when I say icky I mean sappy. So hopefully you get the gist.
So I am cleaning up the bottom area , if saw my previous videos there were several plants bent over laying on the ground… weak and tiny , they had flowers but no girth. I am getting excited about the Sunflower flower so I tend to lean to the ones with the big strong stalks and larger flowers for seeds. I mean it’s going to be a food source right?
So I start weeding out these little useless sunflowers that are struggling and my mind goes deep. We, individually and as a society, are struggling in so many avenues. But I think the most and bottom line is the human connection. Crazy right? But here was my thoughts! I have these big beautiful ones growing with massive stalks, strong, very strong but very little flowers yet. I have medium size ones with big flower heads but mediocre stalks. I have small ones with zero girth on the stalks flimsy as all get out. And then there are the absolutely useless leaches that are just choking out the others. Are you following where I am going?
So I started tying the less strong ones to the strong ones for more support. I tied the smaller weaker ones to the medium ones and weeded out the leaching useless ones.
Isn’t this like people? I mean we so easily discard those on the ground but they still have purpose they still have flowers for the bees. The ones in the middle ground produce a lot of seeds but need more strength. The strong ones with massive stalks haven’t flowered but can assist the medium ones. And of course there are some that just need to be discarded because they just choke and drain out the others.
Put it in perspective of people…. Crazy right? I mean sometimes we can’t get rid of those that choke the life out of us (work) but in our personal lives this can so apply. I am medium. I can produce beautiful things but sometimes I am not strong enough to hold the weight. My hubs is the strong one. Being tied to him keeps me strong so I can produce without breaking. And those little guys with flowers on the ground, the ones I was going to rip out, and give up on,are the folks that we want to give up on because they don’t reach our expectations. But the truth is they still serve a purpose in our lives (flowers). And the leeches, the ones that choke everything are the toxic people around us that need to be pulled.
I know, I know it’s silly but it’s definitely food for thought

Interesting
We cut our first Ali Baba watermelon yesterday.
While this variety has been highly recommended by many of our great viewers, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I might be.
Don't get me wrong -- it's beautiful and it's pretty good. But it doesn't hold a candle to Orange Crisp. We'll see if the others we harvest are better than this one.

So I was just reading on another homesteading page that some folks are paying up to $10 a dozen on eggs and chicken feed was going up and people asking is it even worth it if you can’t free range, and we can’t because of the pooches. The unanimous verdict was grow your own fodder so being me I am researching fodder. Anyone have any experience with this? Seems simple but you still have the cost of the seeds. Input? https://www.facebook.com/100000138781495/posts/6230537193627512/?mibextid=vs2rir&fs=e&s=cl
