My lil' farm

Any update Kevin? I noticed that you quoted http://www.motherearthnews.com
in some of your posts in another thread.

It just so happens I have a stack of their magazines I picked up at swap-meet dated back to the seventies. They have some interesting plans for self sustaining homesteads. The layout of the barns and pens were very interesting. I will see if I can find them and scan them.

Yeah... I just recently found Mother Earth News... Im liking it so far. Im waiting for the next issue to come out... then I will decide if I want to get a subscription. I've also been reading Hobby Farms

Updates.... Im still working on the chicken house... but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If I am able to work on it the next two days then I should have birds in it by this weekend. The only thing they wont have is the laying boxes... but they are too young for them right now anyways.

Once I get it done... I'll post photos.

I may be nixing the idea of the larger animals (sheep and such) in order to become a bit more self sustaining. If I dont have the larger stuff.. then I can use that area to plant feed crops for the bunnies and birds. I may not be able to grow everything I need for them... but something beats nothing.
