Seems like a good excuse to increase my flock. Eggs for BTC. This gives me a year to work on my chicken compost system that will be built soon.

Love the video.

Also peep the two moms, the middle one's named feisty, I call her the Ferrari of hens - beast mode forager & peep the comb & wattle almost rooster level - she lays like a pink patina colored egg 🥚.

The dad is super sweet too, fantastic rooster 🐔.

Out of these 21 I'm only going to keep the olive egger rooster who's also supposed to be super sweet & nice!

Forgot to attach the picture

The awesome part about Mama2 is she loves to be held & pet so sweet & has already displayed motherly instincts this early spring.

The added bonus is she clucks when she lays, it's hilarious 😂.

Will do. I plan on starting a big thread documenting the progress.

It will be a run on a hill. I put carbon and food at the top of the run chickens move it downhill and add nitrogen. I will use some as is, but plan on building Johnson-su inspired bioreactors adapted to homestead scale by Jack Spirko for the bulk of material.

That looks like so much fun!
