Every chicken raiser knows how important clean water is for their chickens. But chickens like to scratch, sending dirt everywhere. And the water in their fount gets dirty fast.
We came up with a system that provides our chickens plenty of water and that water stays clean. We made the water system ourselves for cheap and you can too!

RancherMan & I painted one of our 16-foot long gates in a Texas Flag pattern to show our Texas pride. I think the gate looks awesome.
Many were interested in how we did it – paint color choices, metal star size, etc. So today I’m happy to share how we did it.

Years ago RancherMan & I started down this winding path to voluntary simplicity.
Now I enjoy writing about our lives here on our beautiful NE Texas Homestead. There’s always something going on here!
On any given day there may be garden planting or food preservation tasks.
The joy of a brand new baby calf, or the fun of dealing with our quirky free-range chickens.
There’s cooking healthy meals from scratch and especially being careful with our precious natural resources. We’re doing so much more with less!
And of course RancherMan’s filled with inventiveness as he figures out different ways to keep our monthly expenditures low.
Oh, and I love to share the beautiful views around our homestead too.
