Hidden Roost Homestead

10/13/2026

The Homestead made it through Hurricane Isaias. We have tons of trees down but thankfully, all the chickens 🐓🐥 and their coops made it through. The garden and the peach trees suffered some damage that we are still surveying. Our entire road was completely blocked by downed trees from the subdivision next door. It’s been a very busy few days. More progress photos to come. Stay safe and let us know how you and your neighbors have banded together!!

Biosecurity is important and you can do everything right but sometimes, there’s nothing you can do prevent exposure. Just do your best and educate yourself!

This is great information on Marek’s Disease from the Poultry Doc.

Afternoon check-in at the Hidden Roost Homestead 🌿
The girls got cucumbers and tomatoes straight from the garden today, which they received with the energy of a standing ovation. Then BSFL time — black soldier fly larvae — and if you've never watched chickens absolutely lose their minds over these, you're missing out.
Popped over to the silkies. They were also very pleased with themselves.
And yes, the last few seconds are non-negotiable. My white silkie has a standing appointment. I don't make the rules around here. 🐔

Took y'all on a little garden walkthrough today 🌱 We're keeping it simple this year — tomatoes, two brand new peach trees (first year, fingers crossed), and a bunch of potted plants where I've been playing around with propagation. Nothing fancy, just a small garden and a lot of learning as we go. What's something you're trying for the first time in your garden this year?
