Getting set up for spring chicks with creative up(down?)cycling Go to https://surfshark.deals/ANNE Enter promo code ANNE for 85% off and 3 extra months for free! What do baby chicks need? I ordered chicks, and they came IN THE MAIL! As part of our permaculture plan on our homestead, these chicks will grow up and move through our fields and clean up after the livestock have grazed the pasture. This will relieve fly pressure and manure will get stirred into the soil. The chickens will leave behind their own fertilizer, and as all the animals rotationally graze, the pastures will get better and better with each passing season. In this video I build a chick brooder using an old packing box, some zip ties and hardware cloth. I talk about how to acclimate new chicks to their environment, how to regulate heat in the chick brooder, and what to do about pasty butt. Moving to Nashville has been a huge endeavor, starting over with all things farm has kept me very, very busy the past few months, but I certainly am not going to complain about all the baby floof we've got around here right now!

In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable." I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I need. 8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
