Am I Homesteading Yet?

Wasn't quite as warm as it was yesterday, and definitely not as sunny, but we're hard at working getting spring stuff done!

Spring has SPRUNG! Which meant it was finally time to get rid of our extra turkeys. They were named Thanksgiving and Easter for a reason! Even though we've butchered chickens before, we've never done turkeys; they're a bit more than "bigger chickens" 😂

They were 8 month old Narrangansett toms, and gave us 15.4lb and 15.6lb of meat! Which is more than enough for our small family of 4 plus an honorary uncle at the holidays.

This is the first year I've tried winter sowing. My first sprout has popped up!

Can't wait to try this bad boy out 😆

When putting the birds up, I was short one. Snow White, our half-blind Cream Legbar was enjoying her dustbath behind the house 😆

Meat birds 2.0 is a go! We did our first butcher last spring, with another round of unwanted DP roosters in the summer. We really appreciate being able to produce our own food, and to have control in how our animals are cared for before they nourish our family.

But first we gotta get our extra turkey toms butchered! Lol

We love Tequila... but I'm still surprised he was able to father children 🤦‍♀️🤣

Making sure it's clear where we stand.

While I plan to use this page to show us doing the homesteading thing; it's winter. It's cold. We're not doing s**t outside unless we have to. So I'm going to post some older videos when it was a more realistic temperature lol
