Phase 3 brings animals into the loop. Birds, bees, and rabbits each carry distinct data — hatch rates, queen status, kit weights — and each contributes specific outputs back to Phase 1.

Hatch & Hover covers the first 21 days through the first 8 weeks. Hive Heartbeat is a year-round inspection log. Rabbit Ledger is bloodline, condition, pedigree.

Animals are the homestead's most demanding citizens — and the highest leverage. Done right, they pay the system back in manure, pollination, and protein.

Coop litter, wax, and rabbit manure are the 3 highest-leverage soil amendments any small steading produces. Phase 3 closes back to Phase 1.

Each ledger feeds the next. Last season's outputs become this season's inputs — the system compounds across years, not weeks.
