duck brooder built yesterday. overcomplicated a bit but as ducks tend to splash and spill so much water and have wet manure, I wanted to collect the effluent rather than let it pool in my shop and smell.
I'm hoping this liquid fertilizer is worth the Xtra effort.
last year proved that elevating the bedding and allowing drainage helped it last longer and kept the birds drier.

awesome! love it when propagation works!
there is local Pasture Raised poultry as an option in most areas also, but I agree that it is difficult to trust any grocery store poultry regardless of labels
listening to #TSP episode 3473 fr9m @JackSpirko this morning just reminds me of all the opportunities I've chose to miss over the years. knew bitcoin was a good fit for Austrian economics when it was somewhere between $1-$225/BTC... Stayed away because of skepticism and excuses. Knew that Sepp's trip to Montana was coming and an amazing opportunity, made excuses why I couldn't afford it(to be fair I was like 16 or 17 making 10 but an hour) and instead of fundraising and begging and borrowing to make the short drive from Cheyenne, I stayed home and wasted money on being a dumb kid.
not sure what action it will spur me into in the future, but today, I'm feeling #fedupwithfailure
maybe I should look at Zach's website in earnest one of these days...
welcome! listening to your interview with Preston pish rn

after seeing some pseudoscopions in a bedding pile the other day and recalling that some have looked at psuedoscorpions for mite control, it led me back to this little thread of thinking:
what if we designed a beehive that included natural predators for varroa mite?
perhaps a thick walled hive with a conical bottom in which we might have wood duff or coco coir to house earwigs and pseudos, a screened bottom above it where the entrance would be located, the top matching up to langstroth dimensions for supers. sort of recreating the ecosystem of a guano pile for Bat's.
I'm not part of the produce less honey crowd but rather aim for less inputs for better quality honey, improving value and therefore profit margins.

got a little sidework done for a client yesterday morning, connection on a soldered copper line was leaking pretty bad under the water heater, ID problem, cut out bad section, replace with sharkbite fittings and pex, quick job done.

moving some compost and compost ingredients around today and looking at #macrofauna and #soillife
forgive the horrid photography with my subpar phone
some kind of worm and what I am guessing is either a mite scorpion or a very young wind scorpion, 10x zoom for each

While breastfeeding on a carnivore diet is the gold standard, if for some reason: you can’t produce enough milk, can’t find a carnivore donor, and/or insist on using or supplementing with some kind of formula, this is the cleanest one I’m aware of.
https://myserenitykids.com/products/a2-whole-milk-toddler-formula-12-7oz
It’s also available on Amazon or at Whole Foods.
The loophole here is that it’s labeled “toddler”, but it is still fine for infants. The FDA legally requires all INFANT formula to have some kind of seed oil in it, which is an absolute abomination.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this nostr:npub1qqvt0m3nlvjnssmrn33w9yh7cuq2dx5nkz8wxax9hk5hrjdnj4jqz8cn3w. It’s a very important issue that doesn’t get enough coverage. nostr:note1c88v2pehe6zzhf5n0t5vn3wen3jy9q4x964zx9ag78nzfzwthj9sdzh0my
there is also some goat milk formula or another

Does anyone have any recommendations for books or online courses I can start looking into to help get us started. Thank you in advance!
what species or products are you interested in?
could you expand on the ordinal thing, or point me in the right direction to understand it?
it seemed to have worked as intended jack. wasn't able to watch the video when I came across it in my feed but wanted to reply so I didn't lose it later
not saying that I know the details of their operations but if the "canned hunting" finances the breeding and releasing of strong genetic stock, doesn't that help the population overall?
hopefully you're right though, almost always good to see wildlife do better than before
