The collection contraption shown in www.youtube.com has been improved by adding the bin lid upside down and drilled with a couple of holes, following a suggestion on the Selfsufficientish forum.

Raising backyard chickens for eggs is a growing trend as the locavore movement gains ground in the city. But Declan Walsh is taking the process further. We had been raising layer hens for six years and raising chickens for their meat seemed like a natural progression, said Walsh, who, when not tending his brood in his Red Hook backyard, is director of community outreach at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Walsh raises the same breed used by commercial hatcheries — Cornish rock broilers — until they are ready for the local slaughterhouse. Walsh, who is organizing an event at the college in December with Just Food, a non-profit working to unite city residents and local farmers, discusses the pros and cons of raising chickens in the city. Its easier to find somebody to take care of them than a dog, said Walsh, because theres a built-in incentive — a great egg.
Over the last hundred years or more thousands of people have found home canning to be an enjoyable and productive way to enjoy the fruits and vegetables from their own gardens, and also enjoy the freshness of home-grown produce. And nothing makes home canning easier than an All American pressure canner/cooker.
With mounting concern over the use of pesticides and chemicals in our day-to-day food purchases, home canning is enjoying a surge in popularity as people try to minimize the effects of these harmful processes, and provide a cheap and safe alternative for themselves.
Every year we plant a large garden which always includes a few rows of tomatoes. We enjoy canning our own homemade tomato sauce to use throughout the winter and spring season when tomatoes are no longer in-season here in Pennsylvania.
Canning your own sauce is not difficult and you will need your basic home canning supplies such as: a water bath canner, quart-sized canning jars with rings and seals, funnel, ladle and a jar lifter. If you don’t own these supplies, you can purchase them in a complete kit at your local kitchen shop or via a reputable online kitchen store that carries home canning supplies.

Product Description Instead of talking about the rights of women, these frontier women grabbed the opportunity to become landowners by homesteading in the still wild west of the early 1900s. Here they tell their stories in their own words-through letters and articles of the time-of adventure, independence, foolhardiness, failure, and freedom…. More >>
This video was first broadcasted July 21, 2009. Separating pullets because of our bully bardrocks. When our alpha pullet-Charity laid the first egg, she started to fight will all of our young pullets. Even her crop the red topnotch on her head was larger and drooping over. The Americaunas were born the same day on March 01, 2009. But didn’t have the fight in them to protect themselves, and were constantly on the run. They didn’t start laying eggs, until we separated them. On the very first day we moved the Americaunas to their our chicken yard. The first egg was laid in the early evening. A chicken will delay laying eggs, if she doesn’t feel the environment is safe to raise her chicks.
