Temporary Chicken Yard | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/temporary-chicken-yard
June 30, 2014. We finally got a chicken yard up so the chicks can run free. We’ll eventually build a more permanent structure, but this one will have to do for now. Here’s a picture. I’ll be honest -I took a short cut with the end near the garage. I didn’t have any tensile wire left and I was running out of time since we’re leaving on vacation tomorrow, so I duck taped the poultry netting to the garage. I hope it holds. Our pet/livestock/homestead sitter will fix it if not. Laquo; Previous post. Create a...

The Big, Bad House Projects List Part Two | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/the-big-bad-house-projects-list-part-two
May 26, 2014. The Big, Bad House Projects List Part Two. Here’s the exterior list. It’s not quite as long, but many of these are much bigger (not to mention more expensive) projects than those on the interior list. We’ll get it all done someday. The kids may be in college first, but hey, better late than never, right? Repair holes in siding. Install proper doors on crawlspaces. Extend downspout in the back. Add gutters and downspouts all around. Laquo; Previous post. Next post ». Enter your comment here.

Rain, rain, and… | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/rain-rain-and
June 12, 2014. Rain, rain, and…. Wait for it….more rain. Luckily, our fruit trees and garden have come through mostly unscathed, though we did lose some smaller seeds and have had a hard time working out there. I’ve been working whenever the rain let up, and one day this past week I put in fence posts while it misted. Today is supposed to be our second market day, and it looks like the rain will hold off long enough for it to go on today. Right now the sun is shining, so I’m going outside. Notify me of n...

May 11, 2014. Weekly Farm Status Update 5/11/14 (and a great mother’s day gift). A lot has been happening around the homestead this week. The garden is exploding. I’ll get to all of that in a moment. First, baby T gave us the most amazing Mother’s Day gift in the world: she took her first step! She’s been getting close to it for a while, and she’s tried all weekend, and finally she did it. She promptly fell down of course, but wow! What a day to start walking! Ok, now for the farm stuff. To pack fresh he...

Homestead Update | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/homestead-update
June 28, 2014. Summer is in full swing at Laughing Bird Farm. It’s hot as blazes and the garden is growing like hotcakes. We finally have tomatoes coming on. Yay! Unfortunately (or fortunately, if it keeps up into July), while the rain has slowed down, it’s still been raining enough to delay all the hot weather crops such as tomatoes. It’s the end of June and the greens haven’t even bolted yet. Of the junk our predecessor left back there:. I’m sorry to say it didn’t work, and earlier this wee...By the ti...

Chicks! | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/09/chicks
June 9, 2014. I know it’s been a while since I posted, but I’m remedying that now. Our chicks came in! Here’s a pic of all of them in their brooder on the day of arrival. They were so incredibly tiny! Here’s a close-up of one of the chicks. Did you see the chick with white spot on his head in the lower right hand corner of the first shot? Be careful what you decide about your livestock before you get them. Guess which one of the chicks is the only one I’ve gotten attached to? Laquo; Previous post. Enter ...
