I do have two lengths of that fencing so I could increase the area. They tend to congregate under the shelter, and near the food/water so I still have to move those around daily. But a larger fenced area would allow more days of moving those components within....we'll see what we decide to do next year. I have no idea yet!
Thank you so much! Good luck to you on your adventure! UA-cam has been a great source of inspiration and education for me to learn all this. Still, the best way is to learn by doing, so I just try to keep an open mind that there will be plenty of failure and that's part of the "fun" 😂
@@littleladyhomestead TY! Yes I'm doing a solar farm with a farm. I'm naturally good with animals but I have a lot to learn. Though I'm good at research, on YT there are as many opinions as there are channels and viewers. 😂
We processed pur first chickens this Spring. My friend raised them and taught me how to process them. Gemma actually helped by removing a head 🤣. I think with our vet tech backgrounds (or at least for me) it was easier to compartmentalize the process. We did have a quick cry, thanked the chickens for providing us food, and started the process. I actually really enjoyed it. It felt great to get my hands on something that fed our family and be part of the process of processing them. Good luck and it should be an experience all around. 😁
Thanks! Today was actually the day and we got half of them processed. I'm usually able to compartmentalize medical emergencies because of my vet tech experience, but this, not so much! Once they were dead, it was a piece of cake. I gave my 5 year old a couple of mini anatomy and physiology lessons! She was a little grossed out but, still curious. Keep a look out for the video about us processing them. It'll hopefully come out next week :)
@@littleladyhomestead awesome. I have done a few retired egg chichens, well the roosters, when the ratio of roosters to chickens is too high, man, so easy to cut yourself inside the lung cavity, little sharp bones.
Thanks! We might expand into retired hens and turkeys next year too! Thankfully my hands are pretty small so scooping between the ribs was far easier for me than if my husband tried to do it!
Great video, thank you for sharing your experience.
Also your area is beautiful! The mountains almost look fake haha.
Thank you! We love the mountains so much and feel so lucky to have that view :)
Not planing on raising chicken but liked your show, you are very pretty to say the lest.
Thank you, that's very nice. I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
I wonder if the closed in area was larger if you wouldn't have to move it as much? Can't wait to see how you solve these issues.

Awesome video
Thank you!!
LOVE what your doing! About to do something similar God willing. I have a huge learning curve. I also plan to do pigs and a few cows and fish 🐟.

@@littleladyhomestead 🔪🔪🐓🐓🍖👍👍🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏
How big are the panic runs
It's a 100' fence, so it's as close to 25' x 25' as I can get it.
Do you procress them yourself,?
Yes! My husband and I just finished all 26 today. There will be a video out about it later this week :)
