    My mom says, "Incubator babies are the best." I and my five other siblings hatched on Easter! It's true! Not sure if that's a good thing, cuz my mom seems to think that we're wind-up toys.... probably why she thinks incubator babies rule! No interference from Mama hen! But we love our mom...

    Well I hope you're right! The newest this morning was 4 girls in one box: 1 Broody while 3 were laying eggs and total havoc! Then, of course, there's the mom in the nursery with her 2 babies....Victoria in her box sitting on three eggs and Annie, the only sane one ,in her own box trying to lay...

    I'm going to post four videos of our different chicken coops...they're a couple minutes long each so I thought I'd give you a heads up for anybody who's not a video lover!

    I appreciate all your kind words and greetings! We will take all the encouragement we can get. You have no idea how many times we have wanted to throw in the towel.... I'm 52 years old and nothing has prepared me for farm life! I mean, back in 2003 we went to Mexico for two years and allowed...

    If the name Fiasco Farms had not already been taken that's what we would name our place, hint: we are city Folk, new to farming and don't have a clue! But the silkies sure make it worth it!
