Homestead Blog Hop 329: This week at An Off Grid Life
It is a busy week on the site and around our home too. This week we've been enjoying the warmer temperatures in the -20s and the -teens. The kids have been sledding, and we even had a chance to clean out the chicken coop. Again.
One of the things we learned we did wrong when building the chicken coop was making it TOO airtight. Now it's too moist in there. We will make adjustments this spring. But for now, our deep litter method of lots of straw hasn't been working as well as we'd like.
And if you're looking for some expert advice on all things homesteading, check out the Whole Hog Homestead Bundle (yup, this is an affiliate link) - on through Sunday, February 28th at midnight MT.
Inside you'll find resources from 15 homesteaders sharing knowledge on a wide range of self-reliance, off grid living, homestead crafting and cooking skills.
