    My La Fleche have given me seven babies so far, and they are still sitting on a PILE of eggs. We shall see 😍 I adopted (rescued) a flock of eight silkies today. They are covered in mites, had strings dug into their feet, just all around bad. But they are gearing up for bath time tomorrow and...

    Oh! I also caught a black snake and watched my guineas circle him until he played dead. I was on facetime with my hubbs and he couldn’t believe I caught it with my bare hands. Hilarious. I also picked up some GORGEOUS barnevelder roos to put in with my layer flock. So pretty! And here are my...

    Hi! My pavers are actually old apartment steps. My husband is a maintenance director and one of his properties switched to wood, so he brought them all home. They are 60lbs each so they stay in one spot fairly well and are great for borders (can’t dig through them) around the pens and lifting up...

    Hey guys! We have been having an awful run with a giant and genius raccoon. Took out half my layer flock in about two weeks. I am talking moving cinderblocks to get at my roosting chickens. Went after the roosters first so there would be no struggle. Pain in my butt and super mad. My husband got...

    I stepped on a rusty nail today. Thank goodness for modern medicine! Crocs don’t have shocks, y’all! I made a custom pallet planter for my climbing cucumber plants. 7’ tall and only spent about $7 on it. Trying to spruce the house up a bit. Also got this awesome vintage 60’s Coke machine that...

    Wow! That is awesome!!! I am in Wake Forest, North Carolina. We say ‘Hey Y’all’ instead of Aloha. Land here isn’t much easier to come by, we apparently have one of the hottest housing markets in the US. We got lucky bc our neighbor has a ton of land and is splitting some of it up because they...

    We adopted 21 new birds this week, not sure where the total is now. One is a Muscovy duck, which must be the dumbest duck because she is silent and there are zero cute quacking noises for my efforts in keeping her kiddie pool full. Got some new roosters, including a barred rock so we have some...

    So I lost my favorite hen this past weekend, Bess. I am so broken hearted. I put the girls up like I always do and lo and behold, she just wasn’t in there. A fox got her, and buried the rest of her in the mulch my husband just happened to be moving the next day. I buried her and built her a cross.

    As of today, I am sitting at 82. It has been as high as 120 during chick season. I will be setting up my incubator today to start my La Fleche eggs, and I have two more incubators that will hold 40-ish eggs when my guineas start laying. My husband helped me convert a room in our barn into a...
