If you know anyone looking…we have a beautiful barnyard mix rooster up for grabs! 💲1️⃣5️⃣

Has always been gentle. We just have two and I can’t part with my original Roger yet.

I’ve gotten pretty good at the whole “let nature take its course” thing when it comes to the animals…however, I think I’ll always wonder if I could’ve done something different or done something more to help them.

Yesterday we lost one of our white leghorns randomly. Came out to her dead in the coop, no signs of any issues. Yesterday Gertrude also surprisingly hatched another little chick with another one working its way out of the egg. When I went out today, chick #5 never made it out of the egg. I think baby animal deaths will always bother me a bit more cause I feel like I should’ve done more to help them.

As far as the mama hen saga goes…each mama hen now has 2 chicks. I’m not sure how many eggs are still under Gertrude but I’m giving her a few more days since chicks are randomly hatching. I did remove the few eggs she has not been sitting on today.

Well snap! Thought she had for sure failed her eggs…but random chick today! 🤣

Meet the mama(s) - to be determined on that second little monster.

First pic is my sweet Josephine. Peep one of her little ones peeking out underneath.

Second pic is Gertrude, evil as can be. She’s already gotten off the eggs a lot so I’m not very hopeful but figured I’d give her a chance and if nothing happens in the next week or so I’ll be tossing the eggs. Praying she doesn’t accidentally “open” any before then unless they hatch on their own 🤢 - she’s known to make a mess with not quite ready eggs. Pray for me!

Haven’t posted here in a hot minute so here’s a back to back post so the story is here!!

And the Momma hen saga continues….Went out to check on Josephine (momma hen) because she was off her nest this morning then back on it when I got home from taking the kids to school. She was once again off of it and sitting in a completely different corner with her two adorable babies. It was suggested that I put another broody hen on the eggs so crossing my fingers I went to check and sure enough my Americana (we will call her Gertrude) is broody again so I decided to move her to the eggs, even though Gertrude has a very bad track record with trying to hatch eggs. I first had to get the eggs from Josephine who was still protecting them even though she wasn’t sitting on them. Got all 14 eggs moved over and the bottom dropped out of the sky while I’m trying to get new broody hen onto the eggs and keep Dawson inside the feed shed where we now apparently have a maternity ward of chickens. 🙄

Been in a bit of a funk lately between us being sick and losing three baby goats but we have four new babies to grace your feed. How cute are they??

We grew by two tonight! Little boy and girl twins! 💕💕

Ephesians 3:20
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
