RE: Last Night I Dreamt About Chickens: Building the New Chook House
Wow great post! Always so thorough and well planned out, I truly enjoy learning about your homestead. I love the location under the tree, looks so cool and snug.
Ok so I'm wondering how many chooks live in this sized space and do hens all lay eggs on a regular? Just so curious about the process, like if you didn't take the eggs would you be overrun with chicks like in the sweet poem? Or what happens in that case, just a balance between more omelettes or more coops?
Anyways, sincerely curious and enjoyed the little chuckle imagining you weeding with them and talking about your next plans for J hahaha.. 😄
Thanks Keni. Your comments are always so attentive and thoughtful. You do know you need a rooster to go with the chickens in order to be overrun with chickens right? He he.
A good layer will lay around 200 eggs a year. We will get 4 to 6 chooks which will be plenty for us.. they will provide food, dig and weed, and make manure for my compost. They are the BEST creatures to have on a small 'homestead'.. though we don't call it that here. I'm not even sure what I would call it... I just say homestead for the Americans.

Haha! I was born in the year of the Rooster, surprising I know. Yeah my uncle has a cool gang of "Gai" chookin' weeders and bug removers at his place. I've even had the honor of digging up all their great contributions for his incredible compost. Woah 200 eggs a year eh? That's very impressive, thanks for the answers.
Oh and yeah, my uncle's home is just a regular country "Baan" here in Thailand. It's fun to join in with these trendy off-grid, sustainable, home-steady SEO grabbing names though. Once again, great post all round! 👍
Oh my god @kenistyles you are SO a rooster!!!!
