Our #compost study is keeping on, even in the winter.
#Butchering #chickens is not my favorite task, but having too many #roosters in a flock stresses all the birds out. It's nice to have this done and behind us for the year.
I do try and find time to put out more information on instagram, and I hope to do more in the new year. Thanks for the well wishes and same to you in the upcoming year.
