Well, it seems the chicks have outgrown their brooder box. They need to be moved into the big chicken house this week.
To all the chicken experts, what is your procedure for introducing pullets to the hen flock?

Boar on the bottom right is the sigil of the Black Knight, he who is invincible and always triumphs.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This is the most unique thing I've made, and it remains my favorite completed project.
This covered foot bridge crossed a small creek from the customer's back door to their chicken coop and garden.

Nope, I multiplied the wrong number. Double it. $160 000
Just selling the rough cut round cookies to woodworkers, probably at least 2 grand apiece, so more than $80 000 potentially in that log.
Market the story that it's a historic redwood and hundreds and hundreds of years old and the price just goes up from there.
Agreed. That log could make several $10000 conference tables. And it would then "live on" much longer than it will rotting in the forest.
There was apparently a guy around here who would get old freezers, fill them with rocks, and padlock the door shut. They just refused to buy from him the next time he brought in a load.
If you can pick up scrap metal, you can stack #bitcoin
What's the strangest thing someone brought in when you worked there?
That takes away half the fun.
At today's (May 4, 2023) prices,
100 pounds of scrap iron = 26 000 Sats
Public Service Announcement for all the homesteaders.
Get to know your local scrap yard. It's a great place to find materials for all your projects.
Also, it's a good place to come up with some additional income. Always keep an eye out for scrap metal. Have a designated place on your homestead to collect and sort it, and when you have enough gathered up, take it to the scrap yard, exchange it for cash.
If you own some rural land, there's likely an old dump site somewhere. Clean it up, sort the metal, and generate some cash.
If the dump area is on your neighbor's property, go talk to them, they'll probably let you scrap it for them. You get the money for the metal, they get their property cleaned up, win win.
I made at least $2000 last year just clearing junk out of some old barns and cleaning up scrap metal around the farm.

Clean up day at the sawmill.
This is about five years worth of broken or damaged bandsaw blades.

Welp, looks like I'm buying a bug zapper this summer.
Just a random Southern Missouri creek.
Banks collapsing, the US Dollar in decline, the world getting more ridiculous, woke, and nonsensical, and this creek flows on unperturbed along its stony course. Old, gnarled oak and sycamore trees continue to cast their shade on the water as it gradually delves into the bedrock of the bluff that marks the stream's edge seeking its path ever downwards. Actions of the government, fluctuations of the economy, or machinations of the elite have little effect on the slow steady flow of this random Southern Missouri creek.
Build your life in a place like this creek.
