The Pigeon Siblings and Feed
Kai: These two pigeons were raised from egg in our coop. Their Mother is a pied, blue bar Belgian racer, and their Father is a white roller.
This is why the almost solid black baby came as a surprise! The genetic probably came from the roller’s grand parents.
What does that mean… Permaculture?
Kai: So what is permaculture all about?

Homesteading is more than you think
Kai: When one hears the term “homesteading”, they might think of farm animals and rows of crops. But it is much more than just growing food and raising livestock.

Eat Clean, Both You and Your Animals!
Kai: I have never been a fan of buying premade pet foods. We like to keep everyone’s diets clean in this household, yet pre-packaged organic products can be expensive. However, having a garden has made this a lot easier – as well as the “co-op” between animal and permaculture systems. Our hens eat greens and veggies from the garden, while our dog and cat benefit from their eggs! The chickens also receive feeder fish from our aquaculture, and worms from our earthworm farm. Our turtles also get fish, but the majority of their diet are the pests in the garden!
