We picked up these four young hens this morning from Haven Meadows Farm in Harris, MN. They had a buy one get one sale going on. The chicks are settling in to their new home really well so far.

I have a new source of chicken entertainment....when a flying insect buzzes by one and the chase is ON!!! Can definitely see how they're related to sauropod dinosaurs then. 😆

My backyard #chickens L O V E D bsf larvae. When I turned my compost pile the birds would get so close they were in danger of getting raked...

Another chapter about our trip.This one is all about #maggotfarming We were inspired to see how #farmers raise maggots that are used as #nutritious feed for their #chickens and pigs.

The process starts with black soldier flies that are kept in specially designed meshed cages!

The flies lay eggs, which are carefully collected and moved to safe areas for hatching. The larvae feed on crop residues, compost, and other organic materials as they grow through different stages. Under warm conditions, the whole process takes about two to three weeks!

This was a great inspiration for us as #EYN. Seeing this simple and practical system gave us new ideas, and we hope to one day establish a similar project in our community and apply what we learned during the trip.

Moved the chicks outside a couple of days ago. They've adapted to the new home just fine.

My brahma hens want cooler temperatures in their pen....and I want the 1/2 dozen or so repairs & improvements it'd take to give them those cooler temperatures even if it gets another 20°F hotter outside & stays as such for 48hrs.
