🐓🏆 A Proud 4-H Moment, a Proud Grandma, and Some Handsome Roosters! ❤️

This was my granddaughter’s very first year in 4-H, and she absolutely loved it! She was so excited to win Best of Breed with her Deathlayers! 🏆

All of her poultry started right here as baby chicks at Hoop’s Coop, Eggs & Totes!

And as we all know, raising chickens usually means ending up with more roosters than pullets! 🫣🐓

She has a few handsome boys available and is hoping to find them good homes while putting a little something toward next year’s 4-H poultry projects.

She also wanted me to make sure I included their names! ❤️ A few of these boys were her favorites, and she gave them names of their own.

🐓 2 Deathlayer roosters

🐓 1 Olive Egger — Mr. Waddles

🐓 1 Vorwerk — Caramel

🐓 1 Shetland Landrace — The Warrior

🐓 1 Light Brahma

She’s already looking forward to next year’s 4-H season, and I’m so happy to see her enjoying poultry as much as I do! I’m one proud grandma! ❤️

👉 If you’re interested in giving one of these handsome boys a new home, please send me a private message!

🧡 And hopefully, she can make a little money to put toward next year's 4-H poultry projects!

Christy Franko!

🐓 Three Handsome Ameraucana Roosters Looking for Their Own Flocks! 🐓

I have three beautiful Ameraucana roosters available! Two Dominant White Ameraucanas and one Black Ameraucana.

These boys are loaded with personality! They are very friendly, social, and have wonderful dispositions. They really are nice roosters, and I’d love to see each of them find a flock of hens to call his own. ❤️

🥚 Looking to add some color to your egg basket? These boys carry the blue egg gene! Pair them with brown egg-laying hens, and you have the potential to produce some beautiful Olive Eggers!

They are also rounding out the last stages of their feather molt, so they’re not quite showing off their full beauty in these pictures. Give them another month, and they’ll be absolutely gorgeous! Their new feathers are already coming in beautifully.

These are quality roosters with great personalities, and they are not free. I’m looking for good homes where they’ll be appreciated and have their own ladies to look after.

It’s been a long day, a long week, and a long five months! Between finishing projects, making repairs, and trying to get everything back in order and ready for winter, it seems like the list never ends!

But today was a HUGE accomplishment! 💪

200 bales of absolutely beautiful third-cutting hay delivered and stacked! That’s a LOT of hay! Almost all of it fit into the hay tent, and the rest is stacked and covered for now.

A HUGE thank you to Bradley Eddy of Bradley Eddy Hay Sales and his farming partner! These two young farmers did an excellent job delivering and stacking all that hay. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the hay or the job they did. I highly recommend them! I’ve included Bradley’s business card for anyone looking for quality hay. 🌾

I’m so thankful for God’s help in getting through these past several months. It’s been a long haul, and there’s still some more work to be done, but we’re getting there! 🙏

Now, if I can get through the end-of-season chicken coop cleanouts, I think I might finally have everything buttoned up for winter. At least I HOPE so! Hopefully nothing else gets added to the list! 🫠

I know Tim would be proud of everything that’s been accomplished these past five months. So much of what we have here is the result of years of his hard work, and I’m doing my best to keep it all going. ❤️

One day at a time, one project at a time.

Well, it’s that time of year when I start thinking about who I’m going to pair up for next year! 🦃First, excuse the mud!...

Well, it’s that time of year when I start thinking about who I’m going to pair up for next year! 🦃

First, excuse the mud! We had hard rain pretty much all day yesterday, and the turkey area is a muddy mess right now. 😐

👉 The 2 lavender toms in the first picture are about 2½ years old and are available. They are beautiful and excellent pet quality, but they have absolutely fantastic personalities. Neither one has ever shown any aggression at all. They’re actually at the bottom of the pecking order.
👉 They are NOT FREE, so message me at my page if you’re interested.

The rest of these handsome boys are some of the toms I’ll be using for breeding next year. They are the Royal Palm, Blue Palm, Blue Slate, Tricolored Mottled Blue Slate, Tricolored Mottled Black, Black, and Red Bronze.

With these boys and the different hens I have to pair them with, I’m hoping for some really unique and beautiful colors and patterns next year. I’m pretty excited to see what we end up with!

So if you’re interested in turkeys next year, keep an eye on Hoop’s Coop Eggs & Totes.
Turkey breeding around here usually doesn’t really get going until about May, so poults will come later in the season. 🦃

My ride or die. ❤️🐾

Danny Boy — ginger cat, Mule rider, hunter extraordinaire, and one of the 2 official PR guys here at Hoop’s Coop Eggs & Totes.

If you come to the farm, Danny WILL greet you and make sure you’re all that you’re supposed to be. 😂

Speaking of our other PR guy… meet Mr. Personality himself. 😂

Sunny never misses an opportunity to smile for the camera. 😁🐴

Between Danny Boy greeting everybody and Sunny providing the entertainment, the PR department around here pretty much runs itself. ❤️

One more obstacle conquered, one more thing off my shoulders as I try to get things in order before winter hits.

It’s been a little over 4 months since Tim passed away. He was sick for a long time, and during that time things broke, things weren’t maintained, and I was doing all I could just to keep up. After losing my husband of 46 years, I was simply surviving one day at a time.

By the grace of God, He has sent some wonderful people to help me along the way.

Yesterday my friend Lois, her son Tom, and his buddy Ron came over and helped me put up another storage tent for my winter hay. We had a great lunch together at the picnic table, laughed at silly things, and enjoyed a beautiful day.

Tim and I had our original hay tent for years until a tree fell on it and destroyed it. It was replaced with a new one, and within 3 months a winter storm took that one down. I’m hoping and praying this one stays standing for years like our original one did! Now I can order my winter hay. One more worry off my shoulders.

I still deeply miss Tim. I still feel lost without him.
But I’m so thankful that God is helping me get my life back in order. I’m picking up the pieces I can pick up, and God keeps showing up in some pretty big ways.

I’m doing my best to trust Jesus with my future, like Peter stepping out of the boat when Jesus said, “Come.” Keeping my eyes on Jesus and taking one step at a time.

Like my mom Beverly Hale always says, “Nothing is forever.”

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 KJV.

What a wonderful day. I am so very blessed. ❤️

For the last year and a half, while Tim was so sick and then after he passed away, I have prayed and cried so many tears. There has been so much here that needed to be done, and so much that I simply could not do by myself. There were many days when I truly didn’t know how I could continue with the farm.

BUT GOD. ❤️

Today, Jesus was definitely walking amongst us. I saw Him in the people who showed up, put on their boots and gloves, picked up tools, worked in the mud, cleaned, built, repaired, carried and helped wherever help was needed.

They were truly the hands and feet of Jesus to me today.

And when I think about how all of this came together, I have to go back to where it started. My friend Julie Creps Little Cluckers Chateau
read an article, thought of me and reached out to MSU. She then encouraged me to call her contact there. Julie, thank you for seeing a need and taking that first step for me. ❤️

That connection led me to Ned from Michigan AgrAbility through MSU. Ned came out to my farm, saw what I was struggling with and reached out to Fellowship of Christian Farmers International. He helped put all of this into motion and made today possible. Ned, I cannot thank you enough. ❤️

I am so thankful for Jamie and Virginia and their family, Ed and Jim, from Fellowship of Christian Farmers International. They came with servant hearts and willing hands and worked so hard.

I’m also so thankful for my friends Byron Birkenbach and Amanda and their children Grace and Cole; my brother Fred Hale and Jimmy; my grandchildren Ivy, Eli, Ethan, Jade and Maverick; and my daughter Christy Franko who stopped over too.

And I certainly can’t forget my Mom Beverly Hale, who made sure this hardworking crew was fed and served up all the food for us! ❤️

Looking around today and seeing all these people working together on this little farm that Tim and I shared was something I don’t think I will ever forget.

For so long, I kept looking at everything that needed to be done and wondering, “How am I ever going to do this?”

Today God reminded me that I don’t always have to know how.

Sometimes you pray. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes you wonder if God even hears you.

And then one day, His people show up. ❤️

One person reads an article and thinks of you. One person makes a connection. Another comes to your farm and sees the need. Then a group of people you didn’t even know comes through your gate ready to work.

And suddenly you can see that God was answering the prayer all along.

Thank you to every single person who was a part of making today happen. Thank you for your time, your hard work, your kindness and your servant hearts. You helped me more than you could possibly know.

BUT GOD. ❤️

Today those 2 little words mean an awful lot to me.

To God be the glory. ❤️

Me and Danny Boy, sitting on the front porch swing. 💚🍀

I’ve got 1 million and 5 chores to do, and sitting here with Danny is definitely not getting any of them done. 😂 But here we are…

Danny Boy is truly the perfect cat — sweet, handsome, and a hunter extraordinaire. 🐈🧡

Tim and I both loved Danny. He was Tim’s boy, but he’s always been so special to both of us. Sitting here with him today brings back a lot of memories of Tim. ❤️

And yes, he’s a ginger. Hence the name Danny Boy. IYKYK. 💚🍀🎶

The chores still aren’t getting done. 😂

A little peaceful moment from yesterday. ❤️

There’s something about watching Sunny and his friends quietly eating together that makes me slow down for a minute and remember that God takes care of His creation, and He takes care of all of us too. ❤️

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.”
Psalm 23:1–3 KJV

Happy Sunday from Hoop’s Coop Eggs & Totes. 🐴🐐❤️

Today, I feel like I’m sitting on the floor surrounded by the broken pieces of my life, trying to make sense of all these little broken pieces of mirror.

I pick them up one at a time and look at them. I can see parts of my reflection in them, but not all of me.

Some of the pieces are beautiful. Some are reflecting different colors, and some are different shapes. Some have sharp edges, and I have to be careful how I pick them up so I don’t get cut.

But there are pieces I want to set aside and keep. The good pieces. The beautiful pieces. The memories and parts of my life that I don’t ever want to lose.

I can’t put the old mirror back together exactly as it was. That life has changed.

So maybe now I take the pieces that are still good and beautiful, along with some of the broken and painful ones that have shaped me, and allow God, through me, to make something new out of them.

A mosaic.

I don’t know what it’s going to look like. Right now, I still see a lot of broken pieces.

But maybe someday I’ll be able to stand back and see that God took all those different pieces of my life—the beautiful ones, the painful ones, even the ones with sharp edges—and made something absolutely gorgeous out of them.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:13–14 KJV
