This season for hatching has been a challenge to say the least. Once the incubator was dialed in perfectly, I began to set eggs... 2 weeks in, the motor fried, after that the fan blade failed, wiring issues, etc. Then the humidity issues started and has yet to be figured out. Last year was fantastic with wonderful hatch rates. This year has been a disaster. Hopefully some new seals for the doors will solve this. 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞I'm still not giving up! Still have hope to get chicks and poults out to those of you who are patiently waiting!!

This spring hasn't all been bad. We had our first kidding ever. We welcomed an adorable buckling 'Micky' on May 2nd. We are also hoping for some piglets in the near future.
