Eggs the Real Red Pill – Epi-3629

Today we dive into a topic that starts simple but quickly becomes a full-blown red pill moment—raising chickens and producing your own eggs. At first, it seems like an innocent step toward self-sufficiency. Get a few birds, collect some eggs, enjoy better food. But before you know it, you’re staring straight into the cracks of the system. You realize grocery store eggs are garbage, regulations exist just to control you, and suddenly, you’re bartering with neighbors, dodging stupid local ordinances, and questioning everything you thought you knew about food, supply chains, and independence. We’ll break down why eggs are the … Continue reading →

Today we are going to take a look at keeping chickens in small back yard situations.  There are a lot of people that want chickens but are afraid they don’t have enough space or can’t do it “ethically”.  No one wants to have miserable chickens.  Thing is when done right a small flock can be kept in a small foot print, everything can be clean and function beautifully.  And yes your birds can be happy. When I was a kid my grandparents kept their birds in a coop and run arrangement with “evening release” for about the last 90 minutes … Continue reading →

Episode-2817- Choosing Chicken Breeds Based on Homestead Goals and Intrinsic Characteristics

In some ways chickens are like WordPress Plugins.  What do I mean by that?  Man and chicken go back so far that no matter what you really want, someone has likely already bred a chicken breed that does that.  Different breeds have different intrinsic characteristics.  In permaculture any living element is analyzed for a few different things but one is intrinsic characteristics. For this discussion let’s break down and define those words Intrinsic – belonging to the essential nature or constitution of a thing Characteristic – a distinguishing trait, quality, or property In other words some animals and further some … Continue reading →

I put out a little video yesterday about the progress of our Bantam Chickens at Nine Mile Farm.  I just love the personality of these pint sized chickens and they are coming along nicely.  Someone asked this question in the comments section… Why bantams and not full size chickens? They are small and lay small eggs. I would think that they would be best for someone with limited space? It is a totally reasonable question.  There are really two angles in it though.  One is some reality, they do lay smaller eggs and they are good for someone with limited … Continue reading →

This is a great time of the year to look back at 2014 and begin fall/winter planning as well.  2014 was a big and very active year at the TSP ranch. It also saw the launch of PermaEthos, AgriTrue, the TSP Wiki, SchoolStupidity.com and now we will soon be releasing  GenForward.com. While I will talk a little bit about those things today I really want to focus mostly on the on the ground homestead improvements and lessons.  We now have a very large flock of chickens and a pretty good sized group of ducks.  The exciting part is our ducks … Continue reading →
