RE: I Am SO Grateful To Be A Stay-At-Home Mom. Sure We May Be "Poor" Yet We Are Rich In So Many Other Ways...
You have the soul of an angel and the face to match. It's so wonderful what your kids and husband have to come home to every day.
I can't wait to follow the pig-raising adventure. I had another boss who once opened a pig farm to piss off a real estate developer on Nantucket. He said the pigs really were the sweetest and smartest animals you could imagine.
Have you done a post on processing the chickens for meat? Some people might find it grisly (less so than factory farming, surely!) but I'd love to see how it's done. Maybe I could find the courage to do it when our next batch of roosters grows up.
Thanks for following and supporting our lifestyle Winston! I haven't done a post on how to kill/prepare chickens, I don't know if I would, there's a lot of great resources out there, and putting it here might be yeah...like you say...grisly.
This is the BEST article I have ever seen: How to Humanely Butcher Your Chicken http://abundantpermaculture.com/how-to-humanely-butcher-your-own-chicken-dinner/
When roosters start messing up the flock it is essential to remove them. We have found it really hard to find new homes for them, so they have become another part of our food supply.
