Good day everyone and fellow agriculturist on the blockchain, Druids farm has been around for a while, we started out small, using steem rewards from post payout to fund the farm but a rainstorm destroyed the poultry roof earlier and the birds were moved to a smaller conjested room during the construction of the poultry.
We recorded a mortality rate of 2 birds during the construction of the new poultry.
The Newly Constructed Poultry
The newly constructed poultry is a battery cage system similar to the former with four sections for the birds and a food storage unit, the poultry was constructed with my payout as usual with a huge support from my parents who contributed over 60% in cash aid.
The birds occupy one section of the building using wood shavings as litter and placing rubber tyres for laying and collecting eggs.
Feeding The Birds
Notice the smile on my face😏, i am always happy when working in my farm.
