“The same with food, never rely on a freezer, “
Can not be said enough. All food and supplies must be able to be stored without refrigeration of freezing.
Now of those pullets will ever get old enough to start laying............
My freezer is filled with food BUT I lined the inside with 2 liter soda bottles which are now ice. They will help keep the food frozen for a little while and when they melt I have water. They do take up space in the freezer but I don’t typically freeze a lot of stuff.
