At Home on Hill Haven

Musings, ramblings, and pontifications on motherhood, unschooling, farming, sustainability, spirit, and life in general...

Name:
Location: northwest Georgia, United States

I'm a living-working-breathing mom, writing, mothering, teaching, and soul-searching from our home in northwest Georgia. We are whole-life unschoolers, which basically means our kids actually have a say in what happens to them (it actually means infinitely more than that, but's it's a starting point for discussion). We are also hardcore environmentalists, anti-industrialists, trying to escape from our dependence on petroleum, manufactured products and other non-sustainable practices. We homebirth, homeschool, and homestead, and try to make sense of it all, in a constant whirlwind of chaos.

Run, Chicken, Run!

More of the chickens, including their new run, which Brad built from studs salvaged from a wall removed from his parents' house, plus pressure-treated 1x6's and 4x4's where it contacts the ground:

This run is much too heavy to put wheels on and make movable, so hopefully I can talk Brad into building a "chicken tractor" over the winter. I love the idea of letting the birds do some of my gardening work for me!

What's happened to the one with the hairless neck?

There are two of those-- they are turkens, also called "naked necks." That's their natural feather pattern! People tend to have very either-or attitudes about them, of the "too ugly to live" camp or the "so ugly they're cute" camp :) I like them-- and they lay blue eggs! Bonus!
