Have been looking at ways to boost the nutrition of the chooks at late & have come up with a few ideas like the Black soldier larvae farms... As you can see from the clip below they are a hit with the girls..
Another way is by increasing their greens intake.. At the moment they are getting grass clippings, grass from the neighbours yard & leafy greens from the patch.. Think its time they grow their own ; )» Living Green Chicken feeder..
Have been wanting to make one of these feeders up since a friend told me about them.. The concept is fairly basic, plant some chook fodder seeds under a chook proof cage so the greens can grow through for the chooks to feed on them without scratching them up..
So far I have made up the cage & installed it into the chook pen.. It is hinged so the mesh can be lifted easily & the soil worked or left to the chooks to scratch out between crops..
A hanging pot hook will be used to keep it from turning it into a chook trap : )» I have some wheat grain soaking over night so it can be sown out in the morning... Just thought it might give the seed a bit of a head start germinating.. A clip will be made once we have a bit of growth & the chooks are feeding from it..

Have converted the old barrel worm farm into a black soldier fly farm over the past month or so & found our first batch of harvested larvae yesterday morning.. Was a bit concerned when the fish didnt gobble them up straight away but really didnt need to worry.. Think they just needed to acquire a taste for them.. The farm isnt going quite as planned at the moment & will post a clip once some adjustments have been made....
Just how much of a Patsy? Well judging by the outright lies of Juncker being spewed at this very moment in a televised press conference, a HUGE Patsy.
..... Dont forget who started all this mess to begin with!!!
Goldman Sachs
And who is the head of the ECB (EU Central Bank)- Mario Draghi
"Mario Draghi, formerly vice chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International. As incoming head of the European Central Bank, Draghi has been responsible for pouring €1 trillion of easy money into a tottering European banking system. You can call that a rescue operation if you like — but what exactly is being rescued? The collapsing banks and irresponsible governments most responsible for the current crisis. The firms and institutions who form Goldman’s crucial European client base, in fact."

After The Peoples Daily proclaimed... "investors were moved to tears" thanks to the PBOCs actions...
And if that isnt enough to raise your eyebrows, how about this:
Officials From 65 Countries Met at a Security Summit in Isolated Russia
Cooperation between defense and security agencies, the aftermaths of emergency situations, and drug trafficking prevention were high on the agenda along with fresh water as a strategic resource
And just to drive home the reality of the shit storm we are watching unfold....
While everyone was distracted and screaming about confederate flags and gay marriages..... the US federal government quietly fast tracked the TPP- giving Obama ABSOLUTE power, and California State government Fast tracked and PASSED the "manditory vaccine" Bill.

It took a while but I finally finished off the BSFL barrel to where I am happy with it.. Have already taken a few larvae out to feed the fish & chooks.. The perch are not real keen on them but will eat them if left in the tank over night.. Might have to look at another way to make them appetising for the fish.. The chooks have no problems gobbling them up as is though :D»
Hopefully with the flies eating meat scraps it will add even more nutrients within our system.. For more regular updates about the patch come visit us on our Face Book page.. Have a great one All...
The Global skype outage got me thinking..... its an easy thing for the big communications platforms to be taken down, or have a "glitch" all of sudden- especially when/if things are hot. If skype is down, there is facebook or twitter etc..., but what if they are all down? How do you communicate with groups and friends to get information out?
In the case of a black out or "glitch" on social media sites, alternatives for getting in touch with Lisa Harrison or I (if there is internet) is to go to Lisas chat on her website:
http://www.lisamharrison.com/watch-live/
and if the major social media outlets go down, I will open the comments section on Removing the Shackles again so that we can use that platform for communications as well.
Ive posted this on Facebook in several groups, asking for input on options etc.... I will edit them in here as they are posted.
.... ps: as Skype has seriously been a fuckin disaster lately, Ive sorta moved over to Facebook (again *sigh) for much of my communications. my facebook is: dani arnold mckenny
So far I have made up the cage & installed it into the chook pen..
A hanging pot hook will be used to keep it from turning it into a chook trap : )»
