1. feeding the chickens only takes a few minutes once a day,
2. Feeding the horses and dogs is another Few minutes Twice a day.
3. gathering eggs only takes a few minutes and can be done while you are feeding the chickens.
4. Watering. Easy in the summer, but more difficult in the winter when we have to haul warm water to the dog pen and the chicken pens.

All the rest depends on the season and what's going on.
Gardening:
Spring, I'm turning and spading and preparing the garden areas
Summer, weeding and harvesting the garden as needed
Fall continue to harvest and weed as needed. Mulch as needed
Winter water trees and bushes at least once a month deep

Wood cutting:
late summer and early fall Get wood permits from the local national forest and go in and locate and haul out approximately 5 cords of wood per year. Stack the logs and cut at home as we have time. ( 5 cords gives us an excess of what we really need for a winter so we don't always have to do this every year) 5 cords might last us 2 or 3 years.

Manure clean up and composting.
once a week on the weekend since I work two jobs.
