The Fluffy Butt Chicken Ranch is a give, learn, share endeavor intended to assist our grand children growing into well rounded and well adjusted adults. The idea is to give them the tools and opportunities to learn the value of hard work, (sometimes dirty) perseverance, and the monetary reward of these accomplishments. These learned skills are then shared by them in their interactions with our community.
This gives an opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and get their toes and hands in the dirt. In addition to free range eggs we will occasionally have fresh vegetables and home made goodies for our community. Charlotte has taken an interest in canning and preserving and has her own pickle recipe I am sure she would like to share with our friends and neighbors. Carter loves to cook and make baked goods. These will also occasionally be available in our egg shack and will be by donation only. This is part of the share feature where feedback is helpful in the development of personal skills. We would like to know what you think of these goodies and encourage you to let us know.
We are interested in helping others start their own backyard chicken ranch. At certain times of the year we will have selected pullets for sale as well as fryer and broiler size cockerels. If you want to hatch and raise your own from scratch your going to need a rooster. These will be posted with a seperate link on our home page when they become available.
This is at its heart a pretty simple idea - sell some chicken eggs for a little money while learning the value of honest work and its rewards. There is a personal satisfaction with accomplishing hard work that makes you feel good about what you accomplish, this simply cant be taught.
Occasionally we will cull and butcher chickens to make room for new laying hens, this is part of the cycle. If you are interested in learning this homesteading skill reach out to us and we will notify you a week or so before the target date. We are not allowed to sell butchered chickens due to USDA rules, however, if you are interested in learning how I can help you out with that.
We are not associated with any of the other give learn foundations you may have read about or heard of.
