I think I may have found my new hobby, turning pens. I’m surprised how addicting it was — and because I made a few adjustments to the process it wasn’t too terribly expensive to get started. I’ve only made one pen so far, so I don’t have a video of […]
Building a Chicken Run for Your Chickies! I’ll start off by saying that I’ve heard what I built called both a chicken run, and a chicken tractor. What specifically I built, or at least what people will call it I’ll leave up for debate, but I’ll refer to it as […]
