Tell me you live in Kentucky without telling me you live in Kentucky 😅🐍
Can you spot the snake in this picture?

One thing about us… we’re going to raise animal-loving farm kids!!

This sweet cochin bantam girl has muddy little feet from all the Kentucky rain, but she’s still as gentle as can be. We’ve found them to be such a wonderful breed for kids and families — calm, easy to love on, and easy to handle.

🥚 They usually lay around 1–4 eggs a week and may go broody sometimes, but they truly have the sweetest personalities.

Anyone else have a favorite family-friendly breed?

Here’s your daily crazy chicken lady post as a distraction from the chaos of the week 😅🐓

Featuring one of my Crested Cream Legbars looking absolutely adorable while standing in a chicken coop that does, in fact, contain chicken p**p 😂 because contrary to Instagram belief… chickens are still farm animals.

But this little lady lays some of the prettiest blue eggs you’ve ever seen, so she earns the right to be a little spoiled 🩵🪺

Not every farm picture is perfectly staged, but she’s cute, the eggs are pretty, and honestly this little flock therapy gets me through the week 🤍

You’re welcome ✨

POV: you finally get off work ready to sit down for five minutes… then the dogs start barking and there’s a cow in your front yard 💀🐄

No warning. No peace. Just immediate cardio. 🏃‍♀️💨

Pretty sure my cows wait for me to get home before they start their daily nonsense 😂

🎶 The race is on… 🎶

✨ Considering putting these beauties up for discussion 👀🐓

Would go as a trio: 2 Golden Cuckoo Marans hens + 1 cockerel. The girls are laying the prettiest dark speckled eggs 🤎✨

CoJo (the rooster) is a beautiful dominant little fellow who occasionally thinks he’s a kamikaze pilot. ✈️🥷 Weeks will go by where he’s a perfect gentleman… then completely at random, he waits until you turn around and launches a surprise attack on somebody’s calf like he’s defending the homeland. 💀😂

The weird part is I can pick him up and handle him with zero issues… he just apparently believes combat should only occur through sneak attacks and at random. 🫠🐓

(Bonus for anybody hatching eggs: my other cockerels running with these hens have been a Silverudd, Ayam Cemani, and Black Copper Marans 🤩 So there’s potential for some really neat barnyard mix babies.)

How am I supposed to fuss at Doris and the girls for destroying my flower pot… when they’re giving me eggs like THESE?!

Store-bought eggs can’t compete 🌈🥚👀

Also… I need to move some eggs soon School, work, kids & life have me a little behind, and apparently the girls didn’t get the memo and kept laying.

🖤 Update on the Ayam Cemani eggs in the incubator!
I just did a fertility check and 11/12 are developing — way more than I ever expect from shipped eggs! 🎉🐣

These are the rare “all black” chickens, and if all goes well we’ll have tiny little goth babies hatching in 11 days 👻🖤🐈‍⬛

P.S. Don’t mind the turkey eggs… Barbra Jean buried them and apparently decided Mother Nature would handle the rest. 🙄😂 🦃

I bought this planter for flowers. 🌸

Doris decided it was a luxury dust spa. 🌸➡️🛁🐔
Apparently the dust bath in the chicken pen wasn’t bougie enough.

I feed her. House her. Protect her from predators…
And this is the respect I get. 😂

Tell me you have animals without telling me you have animals… 👇😂
