We sure do love our eggs. 😍

Showing off our eggs at Cornucopia Natural Market & Deli ! If you want to try a dozen wonderful eggs this is where you can find them! 🥚
Perfect spot to hide from the sprinkling rain. ❤️
A hen's happy place: fresh straw in a clean coop! ❤️🐔🥰
Have you ever seen a floating chicken coop? 😆 The girls are getting a new room! We'll be raising chicks in this new little space until they are ready to transition and hang out with the big girls. 🐔🥚
Happiness in the chicken world is a place to hide and a perch from which to observe. 🤪
Tree planting is underway! 🌳 Can you guess how many trees we're planting this year? (Hint: it's more than 10)

Someone got a haircut 🤣❤️
This massive piece of equipment is the sawmill! It's a wood-mizer LT70 and has the capability to cut logs that are 35" in diameter and 32' long. 😎 It's been around since 2001 and makes the farm just that much more of an interesting place.

Did you know lambs can walk just mere minutes after they are born? Pretty cool considering it takes us humans months to learn walking. 😁🐑
It sure does feel like the beginning of spring with these guys hopping around. 🐑🥰 Say hello to the new babies on the farm.
Babies on the farm. 😍 They are so cute. Do you know how long it takes for a chick to mature? These little guys won't be so small in about 18 weeks. And we'll see their feathers in about 5. 😌
Looks like somebody got themselves a valentine. 🥰🐔😂❤️ Happy Valentine's Day from your local chickens!
Incoming! 🐔 Your dose of chicken inspiration for the weekend.
Pretty sure our chickens act like this everyday:
“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey
Did you know that chickens can run at speeds of around 15mph? 🐔 👀
It's a winter wonderland. ❄️ We'd love to see your snow pictures from today. Share with us in the comments. 🙂❄️⛄
The Farm Studio was built in 2001. 😍
It was constructed by Rick and some friends from Sweden using recycled materials salvaged from a number of sites across Illinois. For years it’s been the central and cultural hub on the farm campus containing workshops, offices, lodging, and a kitchen.
What's she thinking? Only good thoughts of laying the perfect egg. 🥚🐔❤️🥰
Stay warm today everybody! It’s cold out. to our first snow this winter.
Have you ever seen a hen take a dust bath? 🐔🛁 They do this to stay free of mites and it keeps their feathers in pristine condition.
Did you know chickens hold world records? This Australorp breed broke numerous world records for number of eggs laid in the 1920s. 🥚 Most notably it laid 364 eggs in 365 days! That’s pretty impressive when on average happy hens will lay around 250 eggs a year.
This is your morning reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you. Don’t forget to find something that makes you smile today. The chickens make us smile. 🐔😄
“Friday afternoon feels like heaven.” —El Fuego. As Friday comes to a close, we’re wishing you a relaxing and warmer weekend! 🐔
New Year goal: eat more hay than all my friends. 🐑🐑🐑
What's your New Year goal?
It's a chicken party into 2022! 🎊😄🥚 Happy New Year from the farm everyone! 🐔🎉🥰
Do you know the myth on how to tell what color of eggs a chicken will lay? 🥚🐔
It's been said the best way to tell is by looking at the color of the chicken’s earlobes! Old folklore says that if your chicken has a white earlobe then you’re bound to get a white egg. Sometimes, this is true. But, it’s not always the case or we’d see red eggs from this sweet girl!
Did you know there’s a lot of folklore and myths surrounding the egg?
Guess this one: what’s the myth on how to tell the color of eggs a chicken will lay?
🥚The color of the earlobes
🥚The color of the feathers
🥚The color of the feet
🥚You can’t tell - there is no myth
🥚It depends on the food you feed them
The ladies sure are curious about the snow. 👀🐔
Would you guess this barn was built in 1857? It was first constructed as a threshing bank barn in Astoria, OR, and was relocated to live at the farm in 2004. 🥰
Merry Christmas from everyone at the farm! 🎅🤶🐔 We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! 🎄

Unfortunately, our Chickens won’t sleep in on the weekends no matter how many times we’ve politely asked. 😆🥚Saturday morning chores begin with the sunrise and our chickens are so happy to be outside!
There were some pretty good guesses yesterday to our question: "about how many bales of hay will our 16 sheep eat through the winter?" We’ve estimated they may consume around 215 bales by the end of March!
