      Weather was very high for time of year at 12 degrees then it took a massive drop to -4. A week later, it's back up to 10 degrees which is crazy. The plants don't know what to be at! How is the weather with you? My bro is in the middle of a winter storm

    • @LaidBackHomesteader
      @LaidBackHomesteader Місяць тому

      Yes more money but you can't buy that healthy bird from any shops. I've given a few, almost half the birds out to friends and reports are all positive. There is a yellow tint from the birds and they didn't shrink after they were cooked. If I was doing multiple batches it would be more cost-effective

      I wouldn't chance it. There were two about to die and one that had fluid inside the carcass. I know now that it was organ failure, but I didn't fancy eating them either. Maybe if I was starving, I'm a bit of that lol

      Hi Dean it's hard to say because I've been pulling in alot of favors. Out of all the machines you will see to date the only one to cost me money was the dumper with the cab! It was 1 weeks hire. I own the land three years this January and I've spent £30k to date. All the money spent is one time buys well pretty much, moving forward I want to have a few more animals, reducing the shopping bill is the way forward and maybe start a barn to hold animals in winter.
