everyone likes chicken..if you plan on eating something don't name it....I never had any probs killing a chicken..wasn't my fav thing nor did I get any satisfaction other than a full tummy....yeehaw...my friend back east raised all kind of birds and I got to try all of em..cant get fresher than killing your own....he did have a machine for de feathering tho with little rubber fingers..

Whoops, well I have been so busy! One of my chickens won a blue ribbon at the Denver County Fair. I'm in super deep with the chickens now.

I have 4 roosters in my basement with get this, crow reduction surgeries. I have rare ayam cemani, svart honas and white bresse roosters. My lines are from greenfire farms and I have a chicken vet!!

I raised my chickens with my cannabis outside. I also have honeybees!! It was a challenge trying to keep my chickens and turkeys out of my backyard veggie/cannabis plants.

On growing news I picked up yet another 315w cmh for my gardens and have been switching up my styles. No till, bokashi, making my own fermented nutrients. Gardening and backyard urban homesteading takes up all my time.

I also raise chickens for meat as well as eggs, but posting processing pictures here might not be looked upon kindly but we have been producing most of our own food this past year. My bf built me huge raised beds in the front yard and people come from miles around to look at my front gardens.

We're thinking of building a short fence for the front yard so I can move my runner ducks to the front yard for slug control. With how much rain we've gotten 2 years in a row the slugs are my new constant battle growing outdoors. Plus ants farming aphids on plants.

I have to be careful what I use to combat pests because I have bees too

I'm curious in your opinion DK, what do you think is a fair price for a dozen fresh eggs? I'm asking because the prices are all over the place where I'm from.

I charge $6 for a dozen eggs that are organic non gmo and pasture raised on custom milled feed I get localky by the 1000 lbs. I also ferment their feed and it seems to make the poop disintegrate into the bedding rather than large piles of poop.. and it seems I can use it in my garden without aging it so much and don't burn my plants.

I'm striving for a true closed loop lifestyle in the city. I have lost trust in the broken food system.

I have been wanting chickens for years..now that all my other birds are gone I just might get a few chicks...the local organic nursery has them..they are so cute ,,then not so cute as they grow...I need a new source of birdshit,,the eggs would just be a side benefit...now if I can only get my german shepard bitch to not eat them....yeehaw...I think I can have like 3 in the city but no roosters/males

I have a few egg layers I don't want to keep for breeding I'm in Colorado though.

I need to do some chicken research also some bee research..theres a new hive setup out thats neat...the combs are plastic and have 2 parts theres a drain on bottom and handle..turn handle and it seperates comb allowing honey to drain right out into jar..no spinning it....yeehaw..I like bees
