Pastured Meat Chickens. Week 1.

This past weekend, we welcomed fifty new critters onto the homestead. And I’ll be danged if they’re not the cutest little creatures in the entire universe. Too bad I’m going to eat them. And too bad that’s true – but it totally is. Fifty Rainbow Rangers will be living on Beatha Fonn with us for

At least the corn is growing.

At least the corn is growing.

On Saturday morning, once Stuart and I realized that we’d run out of coffee beans, we took the “oppurtunity” to visit my parents for breakfast. Seeing as they only live about ten minutes over in the next canyon, it seemed like a very good idea. And it was. We were welcomed with fresh buttermilk pancakes,

Meat Chickens: It begins.

The beginnings of Beatha Fonn.

I know it’s more fun when I share something specifically with you, such as “how to do this” or “how to do that” but sometimes, I just need to take a step back, and share it all. Today, there is no how to. There’s no agenda. No recipe. Just photos of our first week on

Organic Homemade Chicken Feed.

I’m not sure why the Lord saw fit to bless me with the arrival of all these cool animals over the last few weeks, but I sure am thankful for it. I’ve been wanting chickens for years. YEARS, people. And now I get to make my very own this organic homemade chicken feed. And this past week
