Dehydrator at work

Over the past few weeks we have had a surplus of eggs thanks to my feathery ladies. Last week I found a great blog post

detailing the dehydrating process and I decided to give it a shot.

A worker may be the Hammer's master, but the Hammer still prevails. A tool knows exactly how it is meant to be handled, while the user of the tool can only have an approximate idea.

ANARCHY is upon us...

Hello Everyone!

For some reason my time between blog posts keep getting farther & farther apart.  Sometimes I forget that I am now supposed to be a "blogger"   I also get it stuck in my head that I need to write a whole big blog post, instead of just a little one.  For this post though I plan on going big! :)

Norseman is a now a MOVIE STAR!!! 

 

Hahaha, I'm just kidding...well sort of.  Norseman is in a wicked cool new web series called Anarchy The Series. 

 

 

Anarchy is a No Budget original series from Ervin Studios in Spokane Washington.  Ervin Studios has produced successful television campaigns, short films, music videos and much more.  This production house has won multiple awards over the past 8 years!

 

Anarchy is an original series written by Dale Fruit.   Anarchy takes place 9 years after the fall of the American Government.  The  primary characters in Anarchy consider past Governments, past leaders, some of the great philosophical thinkers as they work to build a new society that maximizes liberty and minimizes tyranny. 

 

Anarchy The Series made its debut September 2013.  There are as of right now 2 episodes available and episode 3 is in pre-production.  Here are some behind the scenes photos from the first 2 episodes.

Maybe if we get Anarchy to go viral, they can get a budget and we can all be Chillaxing on the couch watching it on the big screen!

Culling the flock

Back in April, Norseman and I bought 24 one day old chicks.  They were all supposed to be females (pullets).  While waiting for them to grow up he and I built a chicken coop, and bought 6 laying hens and a rooster (Braw) off an old woman.  When our baby chicks got older we realized we had ended up with 5 roosters.  Last week thanks to Norseman, we are back down to 1 :)

 

Below is Noseman's YouTube Video "Culling the Flock"

 

 

 

 

Off with his head!

One of our dearly departed roosters.  :(

We miss you Two Tails, but you sure were yummy!

 

 

 

Poor Braw, he knew his day had come.

R.I.P

 

Braw was a tough old bird. We cooked him up for dinner but the smell of his meat cooking was horrible.  We ended up feeding him to the dogs.  We learned a good lesson from him, and will rotate our flock much younger than we had planned on. 

 

Remember Chance? 

Our baby chick that Norseman saved from getting his head bit off from our little black devil dog.  He grew up to be a beautiful and friendly rooster.  He is now the "Cock of the walk" at Ydalir!

 

 

Somebody is sucking up to Norseman...I think she is worried that she might lose her head!

 

 

Norseman says..."Start laying or start praying"!

 

 

TA-DA!

 

I hope you enjoyed my chicken pictures, don't forget to check out Norseman's "culling the flock" video at the top, and his many other video's on YouTube. 

 

I would just like to add, to any of you sensitive types, that our chickens were happy, healthy, free range chickens.  They were bought for the purpose of feeding our family, and died humanely serving that purpose.
