Forest Escape a chosen path

The greenhouse door was made with regular plastic that didn't hold up. See the type of greenhouse plastic that is more durable, and a type of greenhouse door with a specific type of door latch. Also the escape cord! I had to disassemble the door to fix all the brittle and ripped plastic. It was a project that took over an hour, but see the outcome that was worth it!

The greenhouse was serving as a winter barn for straw and hay, and chicken feed and scratch. For spring, the greenhouse had to be emptied, the gazillion ants had to be sent packing, and the blueberries had to be planted! Seedling progress and getting ready for greenhouse plant potting! Five hours later, all will be functional. Potting will be April 7th.

A watering solution using 5-gallon buckets with chicken watering cups will need repairs every so often. Gluing the cups so they will not drain the buckets of water is a must. JB Weld Plastic Bonder works very well. Putting the waterer back into the chicken run, so all 20 hens and 3 roosters can drink clean water. Also gathering the eggs from the day, saying goodnight to the chickens, and locking up the coop securely!

Burdens can be increased debt, corporate stress, working long hours, guilt, not enough time with family, and more. We can get rid of burdens. Jesus tells us that His burden is light.

Incudes water bucket malfunctions, chicken saddles, and roosters with their wheels out! There are 20 hens and 3 roosters in this flock! Chickens don't require that much time each day. The feed might be expensive, but you do have fresh healthy eggs and a source of meat if you ever need it. It is good to start a flock today!

We started out with a simple chicken coop and run. The nesting boxes and roosting bars were customized as we learned more. The chicken waterer and feeder were also upgraded. We have 20 hens and 3 roosters. For the future, having a food source is important. We have eggs now, but meat in the future if ever needed. There are little tricks for having a clean coop floor, and for keeping hens from digging out under the run walls. Forest Escape shows you how to start living off the land and finding peace, following God's path for your life.
