But its much more than that too, hard to explain until you do it, but worth it??? Heck yes!!! We are on year 4 at the homestead, and your blog has kept me laughing, reassured me that things happening were normal--terroristic goats that woof and chase the ups truck, and the advice and support in our own adventure in the good land invaluable!!! Thank you hardest job by far, but totally loving it. Ive gone from missing life in the big city, my clothes, shoes etc... to totally remembering all the reasons we'd never go back.Moon-Shadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052583053645320073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-26581075508633776122015-03-24T08:08:34.869-04:002015-03-24T08:08:34.869-04:00Thanks Moon-Shadows!

I have learned so much from your post!! Thanks to you last year was our first time raising creepy meats, and by following your suggestions at 9 weeks our average weight was 12 to 14 pounds per bird. After calculating the cost, that chicken ended up costing us 46 cents per pound. Thank you!!! Looking forward to see if we can have a repeat sucess this year.Moon-Shadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052583053645320073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-63866420731084777082015-03-21T08:33:02.347-04:002015-03-21T08:33:02.347-04:00So much poop, Vera.. it's everywhere.... ha!
