I will be shipping fertilized eggs to bitcoiners on nostr only - hopefully by next year as these fuckers grow & start laying!
Baby chicks fighting over red wigglers 🤣.
Incubated 27 eggs, 21 hatched.
15/15 of my eggs hatched, the other 12 were from a friend's farm - wanted to diversify the genetics on the farm & get more egg colors!

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.
Keep me updated on what you're building 👀 genuinely interested - if you post about please add the hashtag #permies
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!
