KacheeTee: 1 Year of Blogging & De-Mystifying 6 Blogging Myths
22.02.2017 at 10:00 am By Kachi T 15 Comments
KachinI think I’ve made quite some good decisions in my life, and so it’s rather interesting that one year later, choosing to start a blog is up there as well. I was so scared to start, so scared to let people into bits and pieces of my life. But on 10th February 2016, which happened to be Ash Wednesday, I thought “what purpose is there to life if we don’t try, step out of our comfort zones and inspire others”. So I paid for the domain name KacheeTee.com, and shared my first post on Facebook. The response was pretty encouraging. And well, since then I haven’t stooped. I’ve published roughly 130 blog posts and just passed 150,000 views. I’ve met incredibly amazing people. I’ve grown. I’ve become better. I’ve worked with a couple of brands and I’ve actually made money from my blog via a sponsored post (little, but hey, humble beginnings).
I’ll love to write about how blogging has changed me, but I’ll save that for another day. Today, let’s discuss the myths associated with blogging. Because there are quite a few.
I was in a meeting recently with a couple of lawyers. And at the end of it, the conversation tilted to what we like to do outside of work. A lot of interesting answers came up – skiing, wine tasting, baking etc. To borrow Chimamanda Adiche‘s phrase of happily boring, I said “well, I like to chill at home, read a good book, see a good movie, and write“. After a couple of back & forth and “what do you like to write about?”, the dreaded question popped out. “So do you have a blog?”. I’m not sure why I shifted slightly uncomfortably in my seat. What was the big deal if I blogged? Were there going to take me less seriously – if the term blogger was associated with my name? I answered half heartedly, “Yeah I blog occasionally” – (but with my aim to have a daily lifestyle blog, I’m not sure this qualifies as occasional).
And when they asked what I blogged about, I was sure to include the fact that I love to write about law and career. Perhaps this is also why my previous posts on BellaNaija have been slightly serious. I’ve written on Tips to Secure an Academic (Foreign) Scholarship, How to Make the Most of Nigerian Law School, 4 Practical Things to do while Job Hunting and 11 Contract Terms every Small Business Owner should be Aware Of. Even this post is still slightly serious.
I leave the more fun personal posts on my blog, where I have control over it.
But I love blogging, and day by day I admire bloggers. It’s therefore unfair that a lot of people believe these myths and under-appreciate bloggers. If you’re also thinking of starting a blog anytime soon, this will help set you on a clearer path.
Blogging is Easy
Bloggers get a lot of flack because most people believe it’s easy. I mean, what could be difficult in it? You write and/ or take photos and you upload right? But in actual fact, blogging could almost be tougher than a regular 9-5. It’s often a one man business and you run on full steam, all the time – particularly if you’re serious about it, creating original content, building a brand and a community. You’re the writer of posts and the editor. You’re responsible for constantly promoting your posts on social media (and this is tough! – forever saying #LinkinBio and Don’t forget to subscribe and follow me!). You design graphics and posters. You may have to learn to code, and become a tech geek – keeping tabs on latest apps and software. It’s crazy the amount of new things I’ve learnt in this one year. From building my website from scratch to some of the other things mentioned above. Blogging can be tough and some days bloggers may want to break down. But they love it so much so they keep pushing. And for some people, blogging has actually become their full time job. So if you ever thought blogging was easy, please erase that thought.
Blogging is Cheap
How I wish. Even if I forgot about my blog anniversary, the £100 that was taken out of my account for my host registration definitely reminded me. Plus the very many apps and software I’ve put off buying, because I’m not sure I can justify it at this point.. Blogging is not cheap. And it’s probably because of this myth, many people brands refuse to pay bloggers due remuneration.
I laughed, when I considered buying an iMac to help with the blog, and my husband said “can’t your blog pay for this?” . Unfortunately it couldn’t. But asides gadgets that have to be bought, there’s regular software subscription to be paid – for emails, graphics, promotion and maybe even ads. Blogs which rely on great photography or video might have to pay for these as well. So when you require a service from bloggers, please consider paying them in cash.
Everyone’s in it for the Money
We can’t really blame people who think this way, can we? Based on myth number 1 & 2 above – it might seem like an easy way to get rich!
I was slightly upset one day on Facebook when someone suggested that I was all about the clicks, when I was genuinely hoping that someone would share her story in a bid to inspire others. And so yes, once you start a blog, there’d be people who think you’re in it for the money. The truth is, the money may come – but except you start of as being incredible – it’ll come much later. And it’ll come in different ways. Lots of people have built their brands first by blogging. Others have created products, others have begun to render services & others have worked with brands. So for many, passion comes first. That and a genuine desire to share and add value is what sustains a majority of bloggers, while they hope the big bucks come soon. Plus honestly, not everyone is in it for the money.
Blogging is not real writing
Where do we even start to debunk this? Someone once said to another blogger on Twitter, “But all you guys do is copy and paste?”. I was literally too weak to engage in a sensible conversation. I guess it’s as a result of this myth that some have chosen to identify as “Content Creators“, rather than bloggers – to show the emphasis that they create original content. And truth is, for many bloggers, it’s real writing. Whether it’s their style or thoughts on fashion, on beauty, on faith, fitness, lifestyle, career, food – there’s so much real effort and creative energy that goes into it. Not to say that some bloggers do not simply copy and paste. But for a whole lot, blogging is often real writing. Please appreciate this. And if you intend to succeed in blogging you’d probably have to come up with real original writing / content.
Blogging is dead and saturated
The truth is, there are A LOT of blogs out there. Trust me, you wouldn’t realise how many unless you were a blogger or an avid blog follower. When I launched my blog, I had no idea just how many people blogged. And as time went by, I often started to think “geez who would read my blog”. So we can’t blame the audience if they roll their eyes when someone says “Guys I finally launched my blog, please subscribe!“. But it’s hard for a field to be truly saturated, as everyone brings a different perspective. I mean, just look at the MUA industry in Nigeria. Yet new entrants are still making their mark. As a blogger, you’ll probably find yourself wanting to quit sometimes when you think you’ll struggle to shine. Don’t! The top is never saturated. If you’re willing to be excellent, are passionate and put in the work, you’ll most likely stand out. Plus there’s always someone who wants to hear from your unique experiences.
Blogging has no use
This is surprisingly common and even though I’m in it, sometimes I have those “why am I bothering with this blog” kind of days. And interestingly many people have this opinion as well. I think fashion bloggers get hit the most with the question “so you just dress up and take photos, why!?” But if we truly think about it, bloggers share so so much that help us in our daily lives. Whether it’s fashion tips, or improving our natural hair slay or quick food hacks, inspirational & motivational posts, travel and tourism, career guidance or even just for laughs. That’s the use of blogging. And that’s why contrary to myth 5 it’s unlikely to die anytime soon. It may evolve, but I doubt it’d die. So as a blogger, for the days you think it has no use, the days no one leaves a comment on your blog, think of the very many people you continue to inspire in one way or the another. Even if it’s just one person. It’s probably worth it!
So that’s it. Some popular blogging myths hopefully de-mystified. I’ll generally be sharing some of my blogging tips and everything else I learn going forward. So if you’re interested in that, subscribe to the blog! If you’re not, well, still visit us and subscribe – there’s a whole lot of posts you’d love – I promise. Lawyer’s honour. Plus, this is good timing, as we’re about to have a one year anniversary giveaway (that’s a clear plug in!)
Bloggers what other myths can you relate to. If you don’t blog, what do you genuinely think of bloggers?

SONGBUN | SOCIAL CLASS IN A SOCIALIST PARADISE
POSTED June 25, 2012
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes…
The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
So begins Chapter 1 of The Communist Manifesto, written by Marx and Engels and published in 1848. If we take the last paragraph, and change a couple of labels, it perfectly describes North Korea today:
The North Korean society that has sprouted from the ruins of the division of Korea and the Korean War has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
In fact, the North Korean regime has established 3 new classes divided into 51 categories, and has created what is widely recognized as the most oppressive society in the world. Maybe Marx rests easier now that his portrait no longer adorns Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang; it was taken down before Kim Il-sung’s centenary celebrations in April. The North Korean regime has been extremely intentional at creating and enforcing social classes based on political loyalty and this system, known as songbun (성분), is key to understanding North Korean society as a whole and specifically and the system of oppression which the ruling elite uses to maintain political control. So a new report on Songbun by our colleagues at HRNK, Marked for Life, is a great addition to the literature on NK.
The report describes songbun as a state-directed system of discrimination based on hereditary classes determined by perceived loyalty to the regime. It decides your prospects in almost every area of life, including education, occupation, military service, Party membership, treatment by the criminal justice system, housing, medical treatment, marriage, and even food supply. The individual has no control over this system, their songbun being decided by their family line, making it analogous to discrimination along racial lines. The whole system can be described as a political apartheid, reminiscent of the racial apartheid in South Africa that attracted such international criticism until it ended with the election of Nelson Mandela.
CREATION OF SONGBUN
The songbun system was devised in the early years after the formation of North Korea out of a motivation to protect the Kim regime by isolating and controlling perceived internal political threats. It did this by categorizing every single North Korean resident according to how politically safe or risky they might be. The key factors considered were your ancestors’ socioeconomic background at the time of liberation (1945), their activities during the Korean War (1950-1953), and whether you had relatives in South Korea or China (being connected to the outside world is bad for your songbun).
North Koreans were split into three broad classes:
Core (핵심), 28% of the population. Includes professional revolutionaries, descendants of ‘war heroes’ who died working or fighting for the North, peasants or those from peasant families.
Wavering (동요), 45%. Includes people who had previously lived in South Korea or China, those with relatives who went to the South, families of small-scale merchants, intellectuals, practitioners of superstition, etc.
Hostile (적대), 27%. Includes descendants of landlords, capitalists, religious people, political prisoners, those who had assisted South Korean forces during the Korean War, or were otherwise judged anti-Party or associated with external powers.
The regime keeps a file on every single person above the age of 17 (before that age your details were registered on your parent’s file), and an incredible amount of work goes into creating and regularly updating these records. The data is now managed using the software system “Faithful Servant 2.0.” This digitization makes it easier for authorities to access any citizen’s songbun file from any Ministry of Public Security computer terminal from provincial to county levels.
EFFECTS OF SONGBUN
Songbun is deeply entrenched in North Korean society and affects nearly all aspects of a North Korean’s life, including (see HRNK’s full report for further details):
Occupation: In NK, you do not choose your job. The regime chooses it for you, and it is heavily influenced by your songbun. Simply put, if you have low songbun, you will be put into gruelling manual work, whereas if you have high songbun, you might expect a relatively cushy Party cadre position. There is no element of meritocracy here and ability does not factor in much, meaning that it is quite possible that more able workers are placed in less important roles while less able workers are given positions of responsibility. This failure to efficiently utilize their national talent-pool is yet another reason why North Korea’s state-controlled economy struggles so much.
Education: Again, this is not meritocratic. If your parents have good songbun, then you are allowed to progress. Otherwise, no matter how hard you study, you will not advance academically. As you can imagine, this can cause resentment (although that resentment is sometimes aimed at the parents, not the regime). This system also ensures that “elites play together.” Those with good songbun go through the same schools and the same colleges, and they network within this pool for their future mutual benefit. Those with bad songbun are of course denied such opportunities. The importance of personal connections in North Korean society compounds the importance of songbun.
Family: Knowing the importance of keeping a clean record in NK society, parents impress on their children the importance of not doing anything to step outside the Party line, as it would affect the whole family. The importance of songbun also means it is one of the most important factors to consider when finding a spouse. If you marry someone of lower songbun you and your children will lose out, so people tend to marry within their songbun level, as indicated by the occupation and status of their partner’s family. (Note that these phenomena are not unique to North Korea, as people tend to marry within their own social class in other countries too. What is unique in North Korea is how this is being played out within a class system which has been systematically created according to the interests of the ruling elite.)
Internal Exile: For decades, the regime has systematically exiled tens to hundreds of thousands of low-songbun political undesirables to isolated and unfavourable mountainous areas in the northeast of North Korea. Here they have been forced into hard labour, subject to tighter controls, excluded from population centres, and effectively removed as a potential political threat. It could be argued that the regime has not only tried to cut off the outside world but is now increasingly cutting off Pyongyang from its outer provinces, leaving those who are judged as potential political threats isolated and with no way to demonstrate their frustration without risk of complete elimination.
Food: Songbun has a huge effect on a North Korean citizen’s food supply. Particularly at times of scarcity, the distribution of food and resources has been concentrated to the higher songbun levels – Pyongyang and central regime institutions (Party, government and military). This was particularly noticeable during the famine of the 1990s and the chronic food shortages that have blighted the people ever since. When the state-economy collapsed and there were not enough provisions to go round, the regime stopped providing food to the politically undesirable northeast regions, so the famine hit those regions the hardest. It has been reported that as many as 30% of the population died in the worst affected regions, particularly North Hamgyeong Province. It should come as no surprise then that around 60% of North Korean refugees who have made it to South Korea are also from that province. An issue for another post is how this demonstrates the inextricable linkage between human rights and humanitarian / economic issues in North Korea. Understanding songbun should call us to question the wisdom of distinguishing between “economic migrants” and “political refugees” when it comes to this population.
Medical Care: The public health system all but collapsed in the 1990s, but special treatment is still available for elites in Pyongyang. People of lower songbun cannot access these facilities, even if they have independent wealth, and the best they can hope for is to buy medicine on the black market.
In short, songbun institutionalizes the dominance of the ruling elite and their descendants over all other groups in society, and as this system has been implemented over several decades, the privileges of the core class have grown while the others suffered.
The operation of this system is not at all transparent but people are generally aware of it, although they may not know details, including of their own songbun. Quite a few of the North Korean refugees that I have interviewed about their songbun have not been very sure about their own level. People of higher songbun are better aware of the system, and one gentleman that I interviewed jokingly half-boasted to me that his family was “totally red, the core of the core.” To him it was clear that he had good songbun because so many of his relatives held positions of responsibility within regime institutions, and some members of his family had also been granted considerable educational opportunities.
It is worth noting that while it is extremely difficult to improve your songbun, you can easily drop levels if you get in trouble through committing criminal or political offenses, or fail to cooperate with regime officials, or if a family member gets into such trouble. The implementation of songbun therefore creates considerable fear and forces people to obey the regime, and in reality it is an effective tool used by the regime to maintain control and power.
As we might expect, the changes inside North Korea over the last 15 years have affected the implementation of this system, albeit without being able to overturn it. The interaction between marketization and songbun (both mitigating and exacerbating effects), songbun’s effect on anti-regime sentiment, and the extent to which the songbun system can constrain change in North Korea will be covered in the next blog post…

There really isn't a more versatile ingredient to always have on hand in the refrigerator than eggs. Eggs help us start our days off right and give our baked goods moisture and structure. They're also inexpensive, full of protein, and a lifesaver at dinner when you need throw a quick meal together.
But eggs at dinner can be just more than just scrambled eggs; they can truly be the star! Whether they're stirred into soups, baked with veggies or lentils, or fried on top of polenta or greens, here are 20 delicious ways to eat eggs for dinner tonight.

4. Green Shakshuka
Shakshuka is traditionally made with a tomato base, but this green version has leeks, greens, and feta cheese all cooked in a skillet with eggs cracked on top. Serve with crusty bread to mop up all the goodness.

5. Scrambled Egg Tacos
Turn even a small amount of leftovers into tacos with the addition of scrambled eggs. Stuff the scrambled eggs with leftover veggies or meat into tortillas and top with hot sauce for an easy way to clear out the fridge.

10. 3-Egg Omelet with Quinoa, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Spinach, and Goat Cheese

11. Bean Chilaquiles with Avocado & Queso Fresco
Chilaquiles is a great way to use up leftover corn tortillas; all you need to do is simmer them in sauce and add in some beans. Finish it all with a fried egg and some avocado.

12. How To Make a Cheese Soufflé
It may seem complicated, but a cheese soufflé is really just a delicious combination of eggs and cheese. Make a bechamél sauce, fold in melted cheese and whipped eggs, and watch it magically transform into an airy but totally satisfying dinner.
(Image credit: Emma Christensen)
13. Frittata with Potato, Red Pepper & Gouda
Frittatas are really just baked egg casseroles, and you can fill them with just about anything. This vegetarian version has sautéed potatoes, bell peppers, and Gouda cheese. Round the meal out with a green side salad.
(Image credit: Sara Kate Gillingham)
14. Authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara
One of the most comforting pasta dishes out there is carbonara. The secret is that beaten eggs and cheese turn into a creamy sauce that coats the pasta and bacon. You might not even realize that eggs are in there, but they're foundational to this dish; it just isn't carbonara without them!

15. Fried Eggs & Collard Greens over Polenta
This stew of collard greens, bacon, onions, and broth is served with a crispy fried egg over creamy polenta.

Get your meat, greens, and beans all together in this dish that finishes it all with a baked egg that's cracked on top. Don't forget some bread for mopping up the sauce.
(Image credit: Karen Biton-Cohen)
18. Brown Rice Bowl with Lentils, Caramelized Onions & Fried Egg
This dish starts with a rice and lentil stew, but the fun part is in the garnishes: Spicy harissa, crunchy pine nuts, and a fried egg finish this bowl and turn it into an exciting dinner.
(Image credit: Faith Durand)
19. Sausage, Artichoke & Goat Cheese Egg Bake
Bake a few beaten eggs with milk, frozen artichokes, sausage, and goat cheese. Leftovers work well for lunch the next day too!
(Image credit: Jerry James Stone)
20. Vegetarian Breakfast Posole
Cook a broth of hominy, tomatoes, and chiles, then top with fried eggs and avocado to make it more substantial. While you can certainly have this for breakfast, we like the idea of posole and eggs for dinner just as much.

I'm sorry but I just had to point out the travesty that is the brown omelet pictured in item 10. No, no, no, no, no, no! There is nothing worse than a browned omelet! That means it's overcooked, dammit!
Other than that, though, I love this article. :)

I think chickens are wonderful birds and the diversity of chicken breeds is totally amazing, so it was hard for me to make a choice of ten favorites! In the last five years I have visited many european countries for filming livestock animals and so I had the chance to meet many different chicken breeds. There have been very big ones like Brahma, Cochin and Jersey Giant chickens - very small ones like the Serama Bantams, the Japanese Bantams or the Austrian Bantams (Steinpiperl) - others show unusual colours, for example the Exchequer Leghorn chicken, the Frisian Gull (Ostfriesische Möwe) the Lakenvelder chicken and the Vorwerk - some chickens look sweet, which is the case in Wyandotte chickens, but others do have an extraordinary strange look, such as the devilish La Flèche chicken from French or the Sulmtaler chicken from Styria, which has a feather crest on the backside of its head.

Hallo Dagmar! Wow das wäre ja großartig und ich würde Dänemark wirklich gerne mal besuchen! Marans und zwergmarans wären eine tolle Rasse zum Vorstellen in Happy Huhn. Was ist deine liebste typisch dänische Hühnerrasse? lg aus Tirol

Ha, das ist leicht zu beantworten - und wieder nicht! Da Dänemark ein kleines Land ist (und vielleicht auch, weil wir etwas zu abgelegen liegen), gibt es wohl nur eine Nationalrasse, soweit ich weiss. Und die heisst natürlich "Danske Landhøns", also Dänische Landhühner. Die Hühner sind rebhuhnfarbig und die Hähne sind gold-rot-schwarz. Es gibt dann einige Varianten dazu, auch Lutterhühner. Und - najah - ich räume ein, das ich ein paar andere Rassen mehr spektakulär finde.
Übrigens habe ich nachgelesen, dass der Maranklub wohl Zwergstämme mit gaaanz dunklen Eiern vorweisen kann. Da kann ich aber noch mal nachhaken, wenn Du das recherchieren möchtest.
Freut mich, dass du interessiert bist! Das ist auch für mich etwas Grosses, wenn ich Dir helfen könnte. :D Du kannst gerne emailen (dagmars.post@gmail.com)

A Mediterranean diet that’s loaded with fresh vegetables, fruit and the occasional drink could help preserve your brain into old age, researchers reported Wednesday.
It’s the latest in a series of studies showing that a healthy diet can preserve health, including brain health.
This one’s a little different because it doesn’t seem to show that adding fish to the diet makes any difference. It’s not clear why, but it adds another piece of evidence in favor of dumping junk food and turning instead to fresh salads dressed with olive oil, plenty of fresh fruit, hummus, beans and pasta.

Everyone’s brain shrinks as they get older. This study, published in the journal Neurology, found that people in their mid-70s who ate a Mediterranean-style diet lost less brain mass than people who ate a diet more typical of their native Scotland.
“We found that lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with greater three-year reduction in total brain volume,” Michelle Luciano of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and colleagues wrote.

The team used a group of Edinburgh residents who were born in 1936 and have been followed ever since. For this round, the volunteers filled out a food diary and then many of them agreed to have a series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of their brains.
The study took them from age 70 to around 76 and the MRIs allowed the researchers to see just when and how their brains changed as they moved from late middle age into early old age. About 400 of the volunteers made it through two MRIs over three years.
Those who ate more fruits, vegetables, olive oil and the like, and less fried food, red meat and cheese had less brain shrinkage, the team found. On average, their brains shrank at about half the rate that would normally be expected over three years for people this age, they said.
Related: Tasty Diet Cuts Heart Disease
“In our study, eating habits were measured before brain volume was, which suggests that the diet may be able to provide long-term protection to the brain,” Luciano said in a statement. “Still, larger studies are needed to confirm these results.”
Resistant to brain disease
People got points for light to moderate drinking — in this case about a third of drink a day to no more than three drinks a day on average for men and two for women.
Dr. David Knopman, a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota who was not involved in the study, said this could translate to real-life benefits.
“Loss of brain volume is an inevitable part of the aging process,” Knopman told NBC News.
Related: This Diet Helps You Live Longer
“A bigger brain is in general better for you because at least in late life, it makes a person more resistant to the effects of brain diseases,” he added. “People who have bigger brains in general can tolerate more brain pathology, more brain disease, than those who have smaller brains. So the reduced loss in the people who adhered to the Mediterranean diet in general would be expected to protect them from developing dementia.”
Everyone who took part in the study was healthy and living independently, and the study was not designed to show whether healthier eating reduced the risk of dementia. But other studies have shown that good diets can prevent Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
Related: Could a Mediterranean diet keep your brain from shrinking?
A 2015 study done at Columbia University also found that people who ate Mediterranean diets had bigger brains. But it also found this may have been caused in part because people who ate Mediterranean diets also are more fish and less of other types of meat.
The Edinburgh team didn’t find any effect from eating meat or fish, and they found education did not seem to matter, either.
Previous research has linked a Mediterranean diet to a reduced risk of heart disease and some cancers, as well as stroke and to a longer life in general.

So does anyone still raise capons? It would seem to be the best way to deal with excess cockerels. I guess that will be the next YT search....
Reply
Frederick Dunn
Frederick Dunn5 months ago
HI James... capons were an obvious way to rear meat birds through the ages and even children were encouraged to do that for extra money. "A Child's Guide to Capons" was published by the Dept. of Ag. It's a process that has outraged many chicken "lovers" and PETA will march on your property if they get word that it is being done. Compared to the poultry INDUSTRY practices, caponizing wouldn't get much press. I think those who continue to do that are well underground with that practice. A capon rooster is gentle and doesn't harass hens and gains more weight (because he's not running around sparring and mating) than other roosters of the same breed. So, if someone wanted a rooster to live it's life out without causing "problems" caponizing is better than the hatchet ("> Thanks for bringing this topic up!

PETA thinks humans should feed the animals, and I'm not talking about pouring it out on the ground either. They think we all ought to go running through the jungle with BBQ sauce on. LOL(sorta).
Castration is done to about every "pet", except maybe fish, that humans keep, so why not. I know about it because...[sinister music here] I was a meat cutter for many years. Hanging beef and chickens from a wooden box, packed with ice. You wanted parts; you cut up a whole bird/cow.
I received from a neighbor 9 hens and 1 "Rodney", all laying. I have discovered so many things that they do that most of us don't associate with chickens. For instance, Rodney with call the hens if he finds a large spot of food, he will call the hens. He will wait for the hens to eat before he eats much. When I give him a large piece of something he will place it on the ground and call the hens. I guess it's the ol' I can't eat anything that has a name. :-)

This was our first shot with this home made incubator and there is 26 that hatched out of 31 eggs. The eggs came from my 4 RIW hens and 1 cock that I raised from 2 weeks old. The X on the eggs are to indicate the rotation of the egg, rotate every 8 hours, Ventilation was through the drain plug, they say you need oxygen and that is right but the drain hole is enough and as large as this incubator was venting it was not necessary not to mention that i opened it every 8 hours.. In a forced air incubator (with a fan) the temperature should be 99-99.5*F. In a still air incubator the temperature should be slightly higher, 101-102*F measured at the top of the eggs. I use a thermometer and a hygrometer (which measures humidity) in my incubator. Hygrometers can be purchased quite cheaply at a cigar shop, Radio Shack and I believe even Walmart. You want 45-50% humidity for day 1-18, then 65% for the last few days. Select clean, even shaped, undamaged eggs for incubating. If possible, do not store them too long pre-incubation. Ideally eggs should be set within a week after being laid and after 10 days the hatch-ability of the eggs drops significantly.

I know I have been pretty quiet in the last few months but I have had a ton of changes going on in my life. After 10 years of trying, I finally moved to New Hampshire and am excited to start a new life here. I have been very busy relocating and working on my Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition.
I've had a pleasant surprise over the last few months. My YouTube page has just crossed over 6 million views.
I believe great food is the best medicine to heal the body so I have always been interested in growing my own. I made a documentary about dropping out of the rat race and farming for a living. It's called "Screw This Job, I am Going to Be a Farmer." I put the whole documentary up for free on YouTube and thousands of people are watching it every day. It is just about to pass 1/4 million views and is showing no sign of slowing. The film is doing so well people are insisting I make more. In case you missed it or want to watch it again, here is a link to watch it completely free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxT9bqe7nbQ
I want to make a second follow-up film and could use your advice. This documentary will spotlight more unusual small farms. What are Your Top 3 Farm Ideas that you would like me to document? If you have an idea that is not listed, please respond and tell me what it is.
mushrooms
cranberries
cherries
petting zoo
solar farm
healing herbs
tree farming
alpacas
emu
deer
pot/hemp
spices
gators
moonshine
sprouts farm
Thanks so much for your help! I will try to stay in better touch.

Try Bulgaria. Pretty cheap there too (about $2500 an acre.)
Phillipines is even cheaper, although foreigners can't own land so not really an option.

if some dumbass is paying $35 a dozen then he deserves to be broke you can buy hatchery chickens a lot cheaper and then when they are ready to produce they can hatch their own chicks, dozen eggs and figure you might hatch 8-9 chicks if all goes well.

Im 25 years old and have been raising organic fish for 3 years in China, currently we are using a Recirculated Aquaculture System and it is working great.
My major was translation between Chinese and English, but I fell in love with safety-responsible food and now offer them to the society for a good price.
Some time we are not think about this for making how much money or how big this could be.
while we are making something good for the society, and responsible for the pubic health, we are doing good.

organic fertilizer machine of electro-mechanical and air-hydraulic integration Application of Hydraulic Compost Windrow Turner
Hydraulic compost turner is an effective organic fertilizer machine of electro-mechanical and air-hydraulic integration. Water can be added to piles during the process of aeration, crush, stir or turning the material; and piles after being processed are compact in the working range. The hydraulic compost turner is a powerful machine with compact structure and manoeuvrabiliy. And such a organic fertilizer machine is an indispensable and cost-effective equipment for production of fertilizer manufacturer or waste treatment plant. It has been sold to USA on 4th, Jan, 2016. http://fertilizer-machines.com/product/compost-turner/hydraulic-compost-turner.html Hydraulic Compost Turner

Introduction of Hydraulic Compost Turner
Hydraulic compost turner is widely used in farms, fertilizer factories and the like for treating livestock manure, agricultural residues, rotten vegetables, fruit peel, sludge or industrial organic waste. Hydraulic compost turners can turn the waste into fertilizer for growing crops, vegetable, or mushrooms. Such kind of organic fertilizer fermentation machine is environment-friendly and sustainable.
Components of hydraulic Compost Turners
Hydraulic compost turner or compost windrow turner mainly consists of engine assembly, running system, hydraulic system, auxiliary devices and framework.
1.The engine assembly adopts diesel engine which owns powerful torque and great margin of power. The cooling system is suction type and two-stage filtration device was used to protect the engine.
2.The running system is dual-speed control design. Its low speed is less than 15m/min during operation which benefits to stir the materials fully. The high speed is used in turn to other working site.
3.The hydraulic equipment has two hydraulic system: main hydraulic system and auxiliary hydraulic system. The main hydraulic system adopts a simple circuit containing bump, valve and motor which can control by electric hydraulic proportion to complete stepless speed regulating. The auxiliary hydraulic system applys multiple circuit which can regulate the equipment during the operation or control any action independently. The key technology during the operation is to coordinate the speeds of the running system and the turning wheel.

4.As one of an auxiliary devices, the guide sleeve can regulate the running system up and down. And when you operate the organic fertilizer fermentation machine from one pile to anther, you can lift the turning wheel to surmount obstacles. Or you can adjust the turning wheel according to the resistance and evenness of the ground. When the organic fertilizer fermentation machine begin to deal with the piles or almost finish one pile, we should lower the back shield in case of the material out of working range. But during the process, we should lift the shield to its highest for letting the material fully expose to the air and decrease the temperature.
5.The framework is box-shape structure including the bridge-like platform and two lateral plates. The inner side of the hydraulic equipment is painted with anti-corrosive material.
Features of Hydraulic Compost Turner
Compared to self-propelled windrow turner, hydraulic compost turner discard traditional rail-type structure. This organic fertilizer fermentation machine is widely accepted by its high productivity, relatively small working site, powerful turning capacity, great fermentation, stable working performance and low failure rate.

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, who has been involved with goat, game fowl and chicken breeding, said the fulfillment comes with creating something better by mixing good parent stocks.
Piñol bred the Manok Pinoy, a new strain of backyard meat chicken which grows to market size in three months.
But he said it was in game fowl breeding where he encountered tough and difficult challenges because of “unseen and invisible qualities” like gameness, accurate cutting and intelligence.
He said one can only see a rooster’s fighting skills three years after it is bred. If it doesn’t work, the breeder starts over.
“For me, the ultimate joy as a breeder is not in the fighting of the roosters but in creating something beautiful by just using your imagination.”
Piñol said farmers can use knowledge on genetics to make sure that he produces the trees with the sweetest fruits and trees that are prolific fruit-bearers.
He said the farmer can identify the best fruit trees and make them the source of his scions or seed nuts.
For those raising chickens, he said the poor egg producers and those with thin bodies could be culled.
“When the farmer learns this, farming becomes an exciting thing and every day that comes along is a new moment of discovery,” he added.
