Learning curve

What I think that I am enjoying most about this project is the insane learning curve that we have. As each new problem comes up, we may look on line to get some ideas, but for the most part we have to come up with the solution ourselves. This makes it incredibly interesting and a good stretching exercise for me (the perfectionist). I want to do things right the very first time that I do them, but with raising chickens, that is impossible. So I am unlearning my perfectionist ways, thank God!

Above is a picture of Ryan and David building our chicken hotel. It is made of largely recycled materials thanks to our lovely neighbors. You also see some cool pictures of the chickens under their red light. This keeps them warm and doesn't keep them up all night. I love the picture of them all chillin' together. It is hilarious when we try to pick them up, because they are so fast now. If the brooder box was any bigger, they might win the battle. Raquel loves having our new project. She is getting excited for Tuesday when she will get to hold them!

Until next harvest.
