Homesteading is work - there is no doubt. I mean, I am looking at mucking out the duck coop soon. But you can do things to make your life easier and one BIG thing to think about is how much your daily animal chores take and what you can do to improve your time spent on this.

A year ago, mine took 45 minutes to an hour - now they can be done as quickly as 15 minutes.
