Garden on Corliss Homestead Journal

It is the holiday season! My family got together this Christmas eve to celebrate with my nieces to eat and share gifts. My wife spoiled me with this gift this year.



She is a keeper for sure! I can't wait to start embarking on learning the material after I wrap up a handful of books I still am working on.

Well, I feel like a terrible chicken keeper.

I have recently switched from pelleted feed to a crumble style feed. When I did the switch, I strangely started having issues with the chicken feeder dispensing feed. I didn't understand what was going on and topped it off for two weeks and just shook the darn thing daily to make sure the girls had something to eat. This weekend I finally emptied the thing and found some clumps of feed to my horror. Somehow some moisture got in and it was blocking up the feed dispersal holes.

It is now cleaned up and working properly, but I need to pay better attention to the feeder. Oops!
