Whenever we get new chicks, we have to go through a two week “coop introduction” period when they are about eight weeks old and ready to leave the brooder for the Big House. We keep them in a wired dog kennel so they can meet the bigger chickens safely without getting pecked to death. But because we have a mobile coop, we have to take the kennel out every morning to move the coop and then put it back in. This is much more challenging than it may seem. Not just physically, but mentally, as the chicks often escape. So far though, this method has worked very well for us, and after a couple weeks, the flock appears to be relatively integrated. I just try not to go on any vacations during this time so the farm sitter does not hate me. It’s all worth it for the healthy eggs! And speaking of healthy, make this weekend a time you ditch your run-of-the-mill fish oil and invest in a cod liver oil mixed with high vitamin D butter oil that’s actually worth the money. I used to get cavities all the time before taking it, and it helps me with so much more - from gut to immune health. Green Pasture also has lots of other great products.

Sassy takes smaller bites now that she is 33 but she still has all her teeth! Sundae (our milk goat) only has teeth on the bottom jaw (normal for goats) so she typically loses the apple eating contest.
Speaking of teeth, I used to get cavities all the time. I was likely vitamin D deficient. But I may have been vitamin K deficient as well. Did you know that you need vitamin K2 to absorb vitamin D3 into your bones? I started taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts and my problem swiftly ended. That was 15 years ago but I still take it today. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Carla the miracle chicken was crafting up a storm this morning while also responsibly using the paper towel port-a-potty. We were using a diaper but her tail feathers got in the way.
We keep our brains curious and creative for craft time by ensuring we get enough Omega 3s as well as vitamins A, D & K. The fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts is a great food based source of the above, and ended my chronic cavity battle.

They say to “lift heavy” in your 40s. Nothing like 100 lbs hay bales and 50 lbs feed bags for a “functional fitness” workout.
I keep my bones strong at 45-years young with strength training and the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts. I used to battle chronic cavities and now get cavity-free check ups. It’s fermented instead of high heat processed like our ancestors made it.

Sharyl Attkisson, one of my favorite journalists who is still in mainstream media, is returning to my show tomorrow (Thursday). She recently released this video about cell towers, which caught my eye given my recent cell tower journey. Big thanks to a Local’s subscriber for alerting me to it. Any questions for Sharyl, please leave below in comments. We will be live at 12:30P ET.
Tell HHS to update their RF /EMF exposure limits. They’re taking public comment but time is running out. Send in your personal story or research you have done. The deadline is 11:59 PM TONIGHT Eastern time. I sent in a comment about my Cell Tower battle.
