Yesterday my first onions from seed popped through (that officially took 4 days from planting). They’re under lights with a fan cooling their jets.
Disjointed, theme-less post today. That’s the way we roll. My chicken coop thought has transformed into pretty much a full-blown chicken coop obsession. Why am I like this? My wife should like it because it keeps me busy and not underfoot. Did I mention that retirement (semi-retirement in my case) rocks?

Happy retirement! It’s wonderful to have time to do what you want!

They came up quick! Do you have them on a heat mat? Still waiting on my onions and it’s been 6 days. The seed was a couple years old… hoping it’s still viable.

No, I don’t have a mat but I put them next to the wood stove till they popped. I hope yours are ok!

I am finding “the small scale poultry flock” by Harvey Ussery the best chicken resource in my recent chicken research, if you are looking for a book.

Happy semi-retirement Sir, which is the same boat i find myself in, and I think it’s the perfect boat for me. I hope you find yourself equally as happy.
