Big changes are happening at our home in the Philippines! Today was a massive milestone for our homestead as we discovered our very first silky chicken eggs. In this video, I take you along as we prepare the coop, build a new dedicated chicken yard, and share my "secret recipe" for the greenest grass in the neighborhood.
We are officially starting our chicken farm journey, and I need YOUR advice! If you’re a chicken expert, please drop a comment below and let me know the best way to handle these eggs so we can hatch some beautiful silky chicks.
In this video:
• The surprise discovery of our first silky eggs.
• Building a DIY chicken yard using scrap materials.
• How to make "Chicken Shit Tea" fertilizer for a lush lawn.
• My wife Christine’s new garden pots and planting plans.
• The reality of working in the 99° heat in the Philippines.
