A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

It's a Delicate Dance....

This is our first experience with this many chicks.  When we put them out in the brooder it was nice and warm.  We considered putting two heat lamps in with them but having a brooder too hot isn't good as they can huddle in the cooler areas.  Well, last night it got cool.  They huddled under the light and one little guy (or gal) got huddled to death.  So, this morning I set up a 100 watt light bulb in another area so it's warm but not as hot as under the brooder lamp.  sigh.... sadly, sometimes our learning experiences can be harmful to others..... RIP little chick :(

On a brighter note, they are fluttering around the brooder now, happy to have a little extra heat.

  4. I am not ԁuring the health-relatеd occupation,
    and whіle I am sure that there could be some ratіonale with the argument, I wouldn't likelihood not having antibiotics for strepEVER. A number of years back my close friend died from heart failure, the immediate results of an untreated strep infection. Then, final spring, my sister went into poisonous shock/sepsis from the neglected strep throat. She approximately died. Multiple organs failing...it was terrible. She was in intense care for a week. Along with the enhance of invasive team A strep infections these days, which include the flesh consuming microorganisms (necrotizing fasciitis), not getting antibiotics for strep could be like enjoying Russian roulette. Strep is very little to mess around with folks.
