I'm gonna go ahead and harvest the rest of my mugwort because we're gonna make
some wreaths with them for this winter right I harvest the rest of the mugwort
some lamb's ear and a little bit of thyme so this I'm gonna wait till it
dries and I'm gonna make a wreath with it hey and welcome to the homestead it
turned cold really quick 15 degrees and I'm going to put some straw in the
chicken house so I thought maybe you want to come along with me me about my
chickens they want to know what in the world do they do in the wintertime how
do they stay warm what do you feed them the breed of chickens I have they don't
mind the cold temperatures in fact they enjoy them my chickens like they would
in the 1800's so I make sure I have a lot of bedding in the chicken house also
I feed them corn which helps heat their bodies also we give them some hot
oatmeal and if temperatures get really bitter which can happen once in a while
I will make sure there's a heat lamp on but they like to sleep together with the
straw straw it's really great for keeping the chicken house warm
so I got the straw in the chicken house it looks really nice I always love fresh
bedding in the chickens and I love the smell of straw and hay it just has a
real fresh smell to it so now the chickens will be nice and toasty warm
and tomorrow we're gonna prep some plastic sheeting over the events so it's
much warmer the chickens just love being together and they love the warmth of the
straw and it's so much fun to see them all together and enjoying their life
here in the homestead so this is just something else that I have to do as part
of my life here and I hope you enjoyed the video
