Setbacks & Repairs at Muddy Creek Farmstead

Описание: This week at Muddy Creek Farmstead has been a mix of hard lessons and necessary repairs.

We check on our chicks multiple times a day, and unfortunately we’ve had to deal with the loss of three Barred Plymouth Rock chicks. We also treated a few cases of pasty butt and share how we handled it. Raising chicks isn’t always easy, but staying on top of small issues early makes all the difference.

On the project side, we remove and replace our front door — even though we just put the trim up not that long ago. Sometimes when you’re building on a budget, you improve things in phases. You use what you have, and when the time comes, you make it better.

We also finally fix the issue with our side-by-side battery draining. After installing rock lights for a Christmas parade, we discovered they were slowly pulling power over several days. In this video, we install a proper switch to stop the electrical draw and keep the battery from dying. We also show how the rock lights tie into the brake lights for added visibility during night trail rides.

Real farm life. Real projects. Real progress.
