Packing day for the tiniest travelers! ✈️🐣Cozy bedding, heat, hydration gel, and even night lights so nobody feels lost in the dark.

Sometimes we all need a helping hand…
especially when Plan A is “headbutt the eggshell until it gives up.” 😂🐣

Two days late — but sometimes patience + a tiny assist = dark nugget magic. 🖤

Alright y’all… redemption round.
Which one is the Welsummer and which one is the Golden Cuckoo Marans?
No pressure — but I will be silently judging your incorrect guesses 😂

Updated- both pullets hatched this spring in the same month!

But seriously… how do we explain to our kids that it’s 6am, even though the stove says 7??
I am not ready to be their personal trampoline!
Send help. And coffee. 🫠☕️

Same energy as me trying on pre-kids jeans. 😅

🚨 Quick heads-up! 🚨
I’m temporarily pausing hatching egg orders just to get caught up and stay aligned with what the girls can consistently lay as we move into the slower season. 🐓🍂

They’re still laying — just not at their spring marathon pace 😅 and I always want to make sure I’m delivering exactly what these hardworking ladies can promise.

Thank you all so much for the continued support and excitement! Orders will reopen soon — so keep those incubators on standby 🔥🥚💛

Friends, locals, tree-chopper-downers… 🪵
I’m in a tiny panic mode because I slacked off getting firewood lined up for the winter 🔥😅

Anyone in Garner, NC (or nearby!) have inside leads on someone with good dry firewood who will deliver AND stack it? I need a lot.

And listen — I know it’s not called “a yard” or “a bundle”… whatever the technical term is for wood-stove-every-day-all-winter quantity — that’s what I need!

Send help, I need enough wood to survive my pioneer-woman fantasy lifestyle😆?

Breed Highlight: Marsbars! 🍫🐓

Black with gorgeous crests? ✔️
Olive eggs? ✔️
Sex-linked chicks? ✔️
Speckles?? Sometimes. 👀😍

Marsbars are a purposely bred Olive Egger, and they come with a superpower — sex-linked chicks! No guessing games here 🙌

Our girls are laying the most gorgeous olives, and a few have inherited speckles thanks to a BCM roo from a deeply speckled mama.

Basically:
BCM Roo × Crested Cream Legbar = guaranteed olive beauties
(+ bonus speckles on occasion!) 💚🌿

Got Marsbars in your flock? Show me those egg colors — I’m obsessed with seeing the range! 😍👇

This one really thought it could blend in… 😏 Looked like a plain dusty green egg until I washed it to cook with — goodbye bloom, hello stunning speckles! 💚
