#chickpic of the day #tsp #homesteading #gardening I’m all about automation and function stacking. I installed an automated chicken door yesterday. The run encloses the blackberries that the deer have been eating. The 6 foot fence should keep the deer out. The chickens will eat what they can reach but blackberries grow like weeds around here. I’ll have more than I can eat and freeze in a few years.

#chickpic of the day They like the run I finished. Stretching their wings.

#chickpic of the day. These gals (and Cogburn) are almost 2 months old. Cogburn still thinks he’s a girl. I’m anxious for them to be large enough to stand up to the cats. Until then, I put them in this covered dog pen every day.

These girls are about 6 weeks old. One rooster, Cogburn is his name, doesn’t know he’s a rooster yet. #chickpic of the day #grownostr #tsp
