This is an update to my Permaculture Chickens Fundition Campaign
We purchased three baby easter egger chicks today!
As soon as he heard I was interested in setting up a Fundition campaign, was quick to offer his guidance. I was a bit intimidated about setting one up. Before it was even complete, he made a big donation to the effort, and we put it to use today by purchasing three new chicks.
These girls (I hope they're girls. I'm assured they are) are just a couple weeks old. They're feathered out enough to be outside full time, which greatly affected my decision to buy them. We're not looking to be brooding any chicks this round.
They were handled regularly at the breeder, a family with a small farm about half an hour away. As such, they're very personable and worth the premium of $10 a bird. When we leave after holding them and being with them, they cheep like they miss us. It's nice to have super sweet chickens again.
This little cutie found and pummeled a black soldier fly larva! The legbars must be lazy, as it was right where they like to hang out!
Since they were raised outside in a more natural environment, they're already excellent at foraging. I kept them separated from the larger three using the rabbit cage. Tomorrow, that cage will be their tractor. As good as these girls are at foraging, I'm going to start them tractoring through parts of the garden.
What a fun process! It's like I'm learning all over again because of the different way we're doing things this time. We had baby easter eggers in the flock that were lost before, so I'm super glad to have some more. They're the breed that my friend says laid eggs for her consistently through the short, cold days of winter.
We'll likely buy more easter eggers for the flock, but the next birds we get will be laying or very nearly laying. I'm tired of store eggs. If you decide to donate to the cause, this is what you'll be supporting!
Thanks
for the support! It's so appreciated, and we're trying to live up to it!
All action for the good of all.
Nate.

Some of these are exchange addresses so that I'll get notifications of deposits. From there, the funds will either be moved to wallets that I control, exchanged for steem to boost my influence here, or to USD to fund a project.
