Wow wow wow OTIS you showed up and showed out today at community day!! Got to show off some of our favorite birds, had so many people hold baby chicks and got to see so many old friends!

We made sooooo many new friends!! Several Zoning board members stopped by and so many locals as well as people from afar! We are so thankful for being included in such a great event!!

We’ll be announcing our next Family Farm Day tomorrow!! We secured more local vendors and live music for this one 😉 it will be at our Granville location!!

For now we’re winding down our birds, calming the chicks and going to bed early 🤣😅

That’s a wrap on our first year of School Hatching! We are so PROUD to have been able to do this with so many classrooms! Look at this adorable book the kids made us today and they built their own little brooders in the classrooms!

These chicks WILL be available at the Otis Business Fair tomorrow from 1-6ish!! Tons of local businesses will be showcasing their best! Stop by and see our live birds (Hedwig and Company) and our Trio of Kikirikis (Prince and his ladies)

For chicks we will have lots of Polish, black and blue Ameracaunas, olive eggers and a few BCMs, all STRAIGHT RUN. I do take Roos back when I sell chicks straight run ☺️

I’ll be busy packing orders tonight and getting ready for tomorrow, talk to ya later ✌️

Little babies have hatched! A few Indios, our very first Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks and a few Bantam Salmon Favorelles!! These will be sexed and then fill a few orders, more eggs in the incubators and picking up our school chicks soon!

Are you interested in $10 unsexed chicks from our school hatches? Drop a comment below! Maybe I’ll do a chick box for local pickup or drop off 😉

Someone kind of rudely, asked me the other day if “this” is all worth it. By “this” I assume they mean:

The day to day work
Learning breed standards
Choosing birds to move forward and which to remove
Helping baby chicks hatch and losing a lot on the way
Trying to learn how to be a chicken vet when faced with things I’ve never even heard of before
The social media posts
The negative messages
The endless emails, phone calls, text messages
The STRESS

At the end of the day when everything is quiet and everyone is calm and chittering away at each other and me I can say YES it IS WORTH IT… this thing I am building with my own two hands is worth it. Every second of every day.

Because memes like this exist in the chicken world and they just resonate with me (for obvious reasons) these are my people, the ones I’ve searched for me ENTIRE life, for the first time I BELONG.

I love you all, from the bottom of my heart 💜
