Who is behind The Survivalist Blog?
My name is M.D. Creekmore and I write The Survivalist Blog to help others prepare for an uncertain future.
Most preparedness sites give the impression that you need a lot of money to prepare, after all we need a stockpile of Freeze Dried Foods, $20,000 gun collection, SUV and retreat on 50 acres in Idaho. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can prepare on very little money – I will show you how.
Chickens can be a simple as you want, or as complex and expensive as you want.
They handle a real winter well with good ventilation and no drafts, given water and food (you feed and/or they free range) you'll get eggs and entertainment.
Chickens are simple enough that they should be one of the first things you get going at a homestead (water, a place off the main road to park, shop, shelter and then chickens). Keep in mind that if you want to start with day old chicks it's around 7 months until you get your first egg.
Was this ever needed. Now, anyone can have eggs and some fresh meat if/when need be. Glad, glad, glad to have the information you have shared about chickens. Never had any but planning to and I had no idea where to really begin.
Contact link wouldn't work for me so I am contacting you this way. I was wondering if you've ever visited the following site: http://survivaloutdoorskills.com/new.htm
