Paige's 4-H group recently hosted the prairie hatchers youth chicken show. She had to step up for showmanship to the intermediate class. It was a challenge for her but I was proud of how she handled it. Her new showmanship bird, Lily, has an injured leg and wasn't able to come to the show so she pulled the famous Pineapple out to stand in. In the meantime Lily is convalescing with a brooder full of chicks. She's taken on the role of Mama and is so cute with them. Bathing Paige's bantam Cochins was quite the task before the show as well. They're so cute!

February went by like a whirlwind! Here's a few pictures to catch you up. The best chicken wrangler is sporting a cast due to a broken bone in her foot. It's not slowed her down a lot though! Both mama cows had bull calf babies. ❤️ And the chick hatching has commenced! I've done a bit of hoof trimming and got out for one ride.

We're looking forward to more sunshine soon! In the meantime we'll embrace that "April showers bring May flowers". 🌻😎

I've been a little quiet over here but it's because we've had so many awesome things happening! Spring is such a wonderful time!

It is so sweet watching a hen teach chicks how to scratch and find food. ❤️🐓

I have three American Bresse chicks available. I'll have more in a couple weeks. These are great multi-purpose birds. Excellent foragers and good layers. If you choose to raise them for food they have a great flavor. Pictured below are a few as adults and, of course, one of the chicks. 😊Send me a message if you're interested.

Little Miss Annie went broody a while back so we decided to let her hatch some eggs. We've got three American Bresse chicks and one Silkie-Cream Leg Bar cross chick. ❤️🥚🐓

I've got 4 adorable bantam Old English Game roosters available for a new flock. 🐓 Three are juvenile, hatched late October. One is an adult, little over a year old and is in the first photo. These little guys have personality plus! They come to you for treats and like looking after the ladies. Drop a comment or message me if you're interested.
