Making tea for chickens might sound unconventional at first, but it's actually a beneficial practice that many poultry keepers swear by! Here's why tea can be great for your chickens:

Health Benefits: Tea offers various health benefits for chickens, such as building a healthy immune system, improving respiratory health, and enhancing egg quality.
Hydration: Tea provides extra hydration for your birds, especially during hot weather or when they are recovering from illness.
Natural Remedies: Certain types of teas, like chamomile or mint, can have calming or digestive benefits for chickens.
Easy to Make: Making tea for chickens is simple and cost-effective, making it accessible for poultry keepers of all levels.
It's important to use natural and safe ingredients when making tea for your chickens, avoiding any additives or caffeine. Always consult with a veterinarian or poultry expert to ensure you're providing the best care for your flock.

Benefits of Tea​:

Chamomile: Helps lower stress, has calming effects, and soothes inflamed skin when used as a wash.
Dandelion: Aids in flushing out toxins, acts as a blood cleanser, and supports adjustment to seasonal changes.
Raspberry: Effective for diarrhea and upper respiratory conditions.
Rosehips: Rich in Vitamin C, boosts the immune system, and beneficial for arthritis pain.
Rosemary: Assists with pain relief, enhances respiratory health, and acts as a natural insect repellent.
Also new, fall/winter brew contains herbs to support health in cold weather, Rosemary, Basil, Dill, chamomile.

How to Make:

How to Make: Boil water in a pot or kettle. The amount of water depends on how much tea you want to make.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat.
Add the herbs to the hot water. Use about a handful of herbs per quart of water, but you can adjust this based on your preference and the potency of the herbs.
Let the herbs steep in the hot water for at least 10-15 minutes. Steeping longer will result in a stronger tea.
Let the tea cool down to a warm or room temperature before offering it to your chickens. Hot tea can burn their mouths, so be cautious.
If desired, you can add a teaspoon of local or organic honey to the tea for added health benefits and palatability.
Serve the herbal tea to your chickens in a clean waterer or dish. You can also freeze the tea in ice cube trays during hot weather and offer it as a refreshing treat.
Serve warm on cool days or freeze in summer as ice cubes and give as a a treat. It really encourages them to stay hydrated. 

Adding a teaspoon of local or organic honey further enhances the health benefits of the herbal blends.

This sprinkle adds a flavor and nutrient boost to your poultry's diet.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds (a common crop in the 1800s)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries (or chopped raisins)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (similar nutritional benefits to chia)
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick

Instructions:

  1. In a dry frying pan over low heat, toast the hemp seeds and rolled oats for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. In a bowl, combine the toasted seeds and oats with dried cranberries, flaxseed, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  4. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

How to Use:

  • Sprinkle a small amount (around 1 tablespoon) on top of your chicken's regular feed daily.
  • You can also mix it into moistened feed for a bit of variety.
  • Notes:

    • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper depending on your desired spice level.
    • You can substitute other dried fruits like chopped apples or cherries for the cranberries.
    • If hemp seeds are unavailable, use an equal amount of additional rolled oats.

    This recipe provides a nutritious treat for your poultry using ingredients that would have been familiar to farmers in the 1800s. The hemp seeds offer healthy fats, while the rolled oats and flaxseed provide fiber. The dried fruit adds a touch of sweetness and vitamins, and the cayenne pepper (optional) can boost the immune system.

Apple Crisp Like Grandma Used to Make (1800s Style!)

 



Here's a recipe for Apple Crisp that would have been right at home on a homestead in the 1800s:

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 apples (whatever kind you have on hand!) - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup flour (wheat flour was most common)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (a readily available breakfast staple)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed) - OR if you only have white sugar, use that!
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (a popular spice)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish (cast iron would be perfect if you have it!).
  2. In the baking dish, toss your sliced apples with a squeeze of lemon juice (if you have any, it helps prevent browning).
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Tips:

  • You can add a splash of water or milk to the crumble topping if it seems too dry.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans would be good choices) to the crumble topping.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (if you have it!), or enjoy it plain for a simple and delicious dessert.

This recipe uses ingredients that would have been readily available on a homestead, and it's easy to adjust based on what you have on hand. Enjoy a taste of history!

When the Heat is On: Helping Your Plants Survive Summer Sizzle

 


Uh oh, is your garden feeling the heat? We've all been there – scorching temperatures that leave your once-thriving veggies looking wilted and unproductive. It's frustrating, but here's the science behind it: when things get scorching (over 90°F+), many plants simply throw in the towel on flower and fruit production. This is one of the reasons climate change is a serious threat to global food security.

So, what can you do to help your wilting friends? While a magic cool-down button would be ideal, here are some strategies to combat the summer sizzle:

  • Shade is Your Savior: Shade cloth is your best friend during heat waves. String it up over your most vulnerable plants to provide much-needed relief from the harsh afternoon sun. Aim for 30-50% shade cloth for most vegetables.
  • Mulch Mania: A thick layer of mulch (think 2-3 inches) keeps the soil cool and moist. It acts like a tiny blanket, preventing the sun from baking the soil and helping retain precious moisture. Replenish your mulch layer as needed throughout the season.
  • Hydration Heroics: Water deeply in the early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler. Aim for the water to reach the roots, not just dampen the surface. Avoid midday watering, as it can evaporate quickly.
  • Strategic Planting: Consider planting heat-tolerant veggies like peppers, okra, and cherry tomatoes. These tough guys can handle the heat better than others. You can also try planting heat-sensitive vegetables in succession, starting cool-season crops early and then switching to warmer weather favorites later in the season.
  • Patience is a Virtue: Sometimes, the best course of action is to simply wait it out. As temperatures cool down, your plants may resume their normal growth and production.

Bonus Tip: Give stressed plants a little extra TLC. This could include adding a light organic fertilizer or using a seaweed spray to help them cope with the heat.

Remember, a little planning and proactive care can go a long way in helping your garden weather the summer heatwave. So grab your shade cloth, water deeply, and keep hope alive! Your plants might surprise you with their resilience.

A blast from the past: Deviled eggs with a twist

 Craving a touch of history on your plate? Look no further than this recipe for Deviled Eggs Royale! Dating back to the late 19th century, deviled eggs were a staple of fancy hors d'oeuvres platters. This version adds a touch of sophistication with a luxurious twist, perfect for showcasing the beautiful yolks of your own backyard eggs.

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs from your happy hens
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably full-fat for best flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (whole grain for an extra kick)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped roasted red peppers

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil your eggs: This can be done in various ways. Here's a simple method: Place your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs once cool enough to handle.

  2. Prepare the filling: Halve the eggs lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Using a fork, mash the yolks in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shallots, chives, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. If using any optional add-ins, incorporate them now.

  3. Assemble the deviled eggs: Spoon the filling mixture back into the egg whites, creating a small mound. You can use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation.

  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with additional smoked paprika and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For a vintage touch, serve on a small plate with a doily or a bed of lettuce leaves.
  • Want to add a bit of heat? Include a pinch of cayenne pepper in the filling.
  • Leftovers? No problem! Deviled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The History of Deviled Eggs

The exact origin of deviled eggs remains a mystery, but they appear in cookbooks as early as the 18th century. By the late 19th century, they were a popular choice for upscale hors d'oeuvres. Their name likely comes from the "devilish" spicy filling used in some early recipes. This version, with its creamy mustard and paprika twist, offers a more refined yet approachable take on this classic dish.

Buzzing with Importance: The Vital Role of Bees in Our World

 Forget the notion that bees are merely a nuisance buzzing around your picnic. These tiny creatures carry a colossal responsibility on their delicate wings, one that directly impacts our existence. Before you reach for that fly swatter or chemical spray, let's delve into the remarkable benefits of bees.

Pollination Power

Picture this: nearly 85% of all the food crops humans rely on for sustenance owe their existence to the humble bee. That's right, without these buzzing pollinators, our dinner plates would be barren, and researchers even warn of looming environmental collapse if bees were to vanish from the scene.

How do they work their magic? Bees flit gracefully from flower to flower, transferring pollen from one plant to another as they go about their business. Some of this pollen sticks to their fuzzy legs, later becoming nourishment for their young. As bees zip around, crops flourish, yielding a bounty of fruits, veggies, flowers, nuts, seeds, and more.

Imagine a world without bees—many plants would wither away without a chance to reproduce, disrupting the delicate balance of nature.

Sweet Rewards: Honey

Beyond pollination, bees gift us with another treasure: honey. This golden elixir isn't just a sweet treat; it boasts a plethora of health benefits thanks to its natural antibacterial properties. Unlike its processed counterpart, honey is pure, untouched by chemicals or human meddling, making it a wholesome alternative to the sugar-laden products that dominate our shelves.

Facing the Buzzkill

Sadly, bees face an uphill battle. Each year, a staggering number of bee species perish due to a host of threats, from disease and parasites to pesticides and habitat loss. As bee populations dwindle, so does our food supply, and the risk of certain plant species fading into oblivion grows ever closer.

Moreover, bee declines serve as a warning beacon for environmental hazards. Mass bee deaths often signal the use of harmful chemicals or drastic climate shifts, underscoring the fragility of our ecosystem.

It's clear: we must rally together to safeguard these invaluable pollinators.

Join the Swarm: How You Can Help

Ready to roll up your sleeves and join the fight for our buzzing friends? Here are some organizations dedicated to saving the bees:

  1. Planet Bee Foundation
  2. Save Bees
  3. The Honeybee Conservancy
Together, let's ensure that the buzz of bees continues to resonate in our world for generations to come.

Unconventional Tips for Raising Backyard Poultry

 


Are you considering diving into the world of raising backyard poultry? Whether it's for fresh eggs, pest control, or simply the joy of having feathered friends, embarking on this journey can be incredibly rewarding. While there are plenty of traditional tips out there, let's explore some unique and unconventional advice to help you get started:

  1. Custom Coop Creations: Instead of opting for a standard chicken coop design, consider customizing your setup to suit your needs and preferences. Get creative with materials and design elements, ensuring ample ventilation, predator-proofing, and easy access for cleaning. Remember, a well-designed coop not only keeps your birds safe but also enhances the aesthetics of your backyard.


  2. Flock Dynamics: Just like humans, chickens have unique personalities and social structures. Take the time to observe and understand the dynamics within your flock. Some chickens may be more dominant, while others are more submissive. Providing multiple feeding and watering stations can help minimize competition and reduce stress among your feathered companions.


  3. Natural Foraging: Encourage natural foraging behavior by providing plenty of opportunities for your chickens to peck and scratch for food. Scatter treats like mealworms, kitchen scraps, and forage mix throughout their enclosure, promoting physical activity and mental stimulation. Not only does this mimic their natural instincts, but it also supplements their diet with essential nutrients.


  4. Herbal Helpers: Incorporate herbs into your poultry management routine to support the health and well-being of your birds. Certain herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and garlic, have natural antibacterial and antiparasitic properties, helping to boost immune function and ward off common ailments. You can scatter fresh or dried herbs in their coop or mix them into their feed for added benefits.


  5. Egg-citing Enrichment: Keep your chickens entertained and engaged with enriching activities that stimulate their curiosity and natural behaviors. Hang cabbage or other leafy greens from strings for them to peck at, provide dust bathing areas filled with sand or diatomaceous earth, or set up a shallow tub of water for splashing and cooling off on hot days. These simple additions not only provide entertainment but also contribute to the overall well-being of your flock.


  6. Remember, raising backyard poultry is a learning experience, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Embrace the journey, stay open to new ideas, and most importantly, enjoy the rewarding bond you'll build with your feathered friends. With a bit of creativity and care, you'll soon find yourself with a thriving flock that brings joy to your backyard and fresh eggs to your table.



Natural ways to deworm your flock

 Title: Natural Ways to Deworm Your Feathered Friends

Introduction:
As caring and eco-conscious poultry owners, we always strive to provide the best care for our feathered friends. One essential aspect of their health is parasite control. Deworming is a crucial part of poultry care, but did you know that there are natural ways to help keep your flock healthy and free from parasites? In this article, we will explore some natural methods for poultry deworming, highlighting their benefits and discussing diverse perspectives on the topic.

The Importance of Deworming:
Deworming poultry is essential to maintain their overall health and well-being. Parasites, such as worms, can cause various health issues, including decreased egg production, weight loss, anemia, and even death in severe cases. Implementing a regular deworming routine is vital for the longevity and vitality of your flock.

  1. Natural Deworming Solutions:
    a. Herbs and Plants:
    Incorporating certain herbs and plants into your chickens' diet can help naturally control internal parasites. Garlic, for instance, contains compounds that have been shown to have potential deworming properties. Adding a small amount of crushed garlic to their feed can help inhibit worm growth. Other beneficial herbs include wormwood, thyme, and oregano, which can be offered as fresh or dried additions to their diet.

b. Diatomaceous Earth (DE):
Food-grade diatomaceous earth, made from the fossilized remains of microscopic aquatic organisms called diatoms, can be an effective natural dewormer. The microscopic shards of diatoms create a mechanical action that damages the parasites' exoskeleton, leading to dehydration and eventual death. Ensure you use a food-grade DE and remember to follow the recommended dosage to avoid any respiratory issues.

c. Apple Cider Vinegar:
Adding a small amount of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to your poultry's drinking water may have several benefits, including potential deworming properties. The acidity of the vinegar can create an unfavorable environment for parasites, reducing their prevalence. Make sure to dilute it properly and introduce it gradually to their water source.

  1. Maintaining a Clean Environment:
    Practice good poultry husbandry by maintaining a clean and sanitary environment for your flock. Regularly clean their coop, remove droppings, and provide fresh bedding to prevent the buildup of parasites and their eggs. This simple step can significantly reduce the chances of reinfestation.

Diverse Perspectives:
While natural deworming methods can be beneficial, it is important to consider diverse perspectives and expert advice. Some poultry experts may advocate for a combined approach, using both natural remedies and commercial deworming products. This ensures comprehensive parasite control and addresses different types of worms that may infect poultry. Consulting with a veterinarian or seeking guidance from reputable poultry resources can help you make informed decisions based on your flock's unique needs.

Conclusion:
By incorporating natural deworming solutions into your poultry care routine, you can help protect your feathery companions from the harmful effects of internal parasites. Remember that implementing good husbandry practices and maintaining a clean environment are equally important in preventing infestations. Always consider diverse perspectives and seek advice from experts to ensure you are providing the best care for your flock.

This reduction in chemical exposure not only benefits the animals' health but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly farming approach.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: Natural remedies and herbs are often more cost-effective than commercial medications, making them an economical choice for small-scale farmers and homesteaders. Many herbs can be easily grown or foraged, offering a sustainable and affordable alternative for animal healthcare.

4. Prevention and Management of Common Ailments: Certain herbs and natural remedies have been traditionally used to prevent and manage common ailments in poultry and goats. For example, incorporating herbs like calendula and comfrey into their diet can promote skin and wound healing, while herbs like wormwood and pumpkin seeds can help control internal parasites.

5. Environmental Benefits: Embracing natural remedies aligns with environmentally conscious farming practices. By reducing the use of synthetic chemicals and antibiotics, farmers can minimize their ecological footprint and contribute to a healthier environment for their animals and surrounding ecosystems.

6. Enhances Animal Welfare: Natural remedies prioritize animal welfare by promoting natural healing processes and minimizing stress associated with conventional treatments. By supporting their animals' health naturally, farmers can ensure their livestock lead happier, healthier lives.

In conclusion, the benefits of using natural remedies and herbs for chickens, quail, and goats are vast and multifaceted. From holistic health support to environmental sustainability, these natural solutions offer a wealth of advantages for both animals and farmers alike. By harnessing the power of nature's bounty, farmers can nurture thriving and resilient livestock while fostering a deeper connection to the land and its resources.
