It has been a busy week preparing for the upcoming CSA meeting and an overabundance of assignments at work. The pile of tasks before me seem to grow faster than I can complete them and the days are falling off of the calendar like so many leaves in the wind....

This past Saturday morning I was pleasantly surprised to have our daughter, Freya, come up to me and suggested that this weekend would be a good time to butcher the roosters and that she would like to help. I had decided a while ago that I would like to try my...

30 October
The baby chicks are growing. In two weeks time the general observation is Cornish cross hybrids grow twice as fast as Barred Rocks. To their credit the Barred Rocks are more active and better foragers.
This is after two...

When faced with a task that I am dreading or one that has become tiresome, I use a couple of strategies to keep myself from giving up. One of them is to just keep trudging onward. I just put my head down, focus on the things directly in front of me and just...

There is little doubt that Fall is in the air. October came in wet, windy and cold. We are feeling the pressure to get the outdoor projects finished up before our time runs out and we are driven inside for the winter. Sean and I decided to devote this weekend...

In the past week or so I noticed an odd trend in our egg production. I had been anticipating a gradual increase in volume but instead we started seeing a decrease. I had seen some evidence of a couple of new hens beginning to lay but now it seemed that they...

I read that more and more of us are starting backyard chicken pens. If you've ever had a fresh egg you can understand why. We read a lot about raising chickens, specifically layers, before we actually took the leap. As I've lamented...

Seventy-one years ago today, The Great Hurricane of 1938 struck New England without warning. My grandparents Hjalmer and Lizzie Johnson lost one henhouse, and the roof was blown off the other. The forest across the road from the farm...

The day is approaching when I am going to have to cull the extra roosters in our flock. In doing so, I will slaughter five roosters and leave the best two to be the breeding stock for next year's flock expansion. The trick is determining which of the roosters...

On a farm, by necessity, you live seasonally. This is the time of year when I'm busy freezing and canning what I am able to prepare before the first killing frost and the long winter that follows. It's generally not time for babies. Today was...

Of all of our children, Sean seems to have taken to the chickens the most. During idle moments he can often be found visiting the henhouse . He likes to scoop up a hen or rooster, cradle it under his arm and sit or walk around the chicken yard petting it. I ...

Well it has been the absolute worst growing season we could have asked for!
Maybe we need to pray a little louder for next year. The cold nights really took a toll on everything that we have. Even the zucchini didn't take off like it usually does....
