Have been a little under the weather lately but got some stuff done today. New chicken coop coming along nicely. Brooder box, nesting boxes and roosting bars in place. Need to paint and lay some vinyl down. Open to any more suggestions as well. This is our first camper to coop conversion.

Good morning!!!!

Wonderful Days of JOY Challenge! Day 1 of 30!
Processing Organic Blood Orange juice from Azure Standard for our homemade Ginger/Turmeric Probiotic Soda. This juice naturally settles into 3 layers, which I found so pretty!

I was nominated by Cranberry Hill Farms

Post a picture everyday of something that brings you homesteading joy! 😊 It can be something from the past or present, but it has to be something that makes you happy!

Today, I nominate Tiny Raptors & Bunny Tails to join the challenge! (If you would like to)

Please tag me so I can be a part of your JOY! 😁

Clean rabbit colony, chicken coop and run. Glad the weather was nice for completing these projects!!
