Here's a portable chicken cage that I built last weekend, with the help of three friends. It was like an Amish barn raising.

Those are guinea birds getting accustomed to their new home. The farmer who sold them to me told me to keep them confined for 2 weeks before letting them free range, lest they fly away and never return.

After I let the guineas out, I will be using this as a safe place for new chicks, until they are big enough to survive among full grown chickens.

This August those friends will return with canning jars and the pre-made kits for making ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and pickles, and we will put up the harvest for the winter for all of us. I should have a massive bumper crop of cucumbers and tomatoes.

Down with Agribusiness!
