The Southern Kind Hatchery & Homestead

08/30/2026

👋Hello friends! I haven't been active on here lately, but if any of our friends or followers are interested, we have been trudging through the trenches (crawling tbh) these past couple months & are s e l l ing a lot of chicken coops, runs/pens, feeders, waterers, farm equipment, dirt bikes, etc if you can think of it, we probably have it! We also have to make the difficult decision to r e h o m e most of our livestock & some pets (cats, dogs, & 1 guinea pig)🥺😢🫶

Our a/c caught fire August 14th & we were without air conditioning for a week until we could get a new one ordered; thankfully, Josh was home & saved us & the house; I've been unexplainably sick for awhile — no appetite & losing weight. Down to 89lbs from my normal 110lbs at my last doctors visit. My GP isn’t sure what's going on yet, but prescribed meds to bring my appetite back & it's working, but not fast enough.

Running a homestead & micro hatchery is NOT a one woman rodeo & after losing our our main ranch hand last month, I can't cope. Between motherhood, homeschooling, co-op’s, marching band, 4-H, homemaking, Josh working out of town most weeks, & more (believe it or not), I can barely keep up with the homestead & work. So that leads us to my introduction sentence & why we have had to make some difficult decisions🥺🫶

I have been very hesitate to speak on our situation or post things for sale or even ask for help, but it's time🙏 Please help if you can! If you or someone you know may be interested in something we have available, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Josh has been posting a lot of what we have to offer in different groups like Walterboro Word of Mouth & on marketplace, but I'm going to add pics & descriptions in the comments below throughout the rest of this evening & possibly tomorrow. If you made it past the first sentence or this far, my apologies for the sob story, but thank you so much! Lots of love from all of us!🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

‼️Edited to add: We do NOT have a tractor, generator, toolbox, or saddles for sale, but could probably find you one, if needed lol🙈😅 I used AI to create the for sale poster & just realized it threw a pic of a those things in the mix!🤦🏻‍♀️
That’s what I get for using the words “farm equipment” in my prompt🤪

⚠️Warning: You may accidentally adopt a kitten or two after seeing this post😻🫶

Hello friends!!👋 We have a very exciting update!

A little over a month ago, our family began a brand new adventure with 3 little rainclouds…⛈️🌧️⛅️

⛈️Cirrus, 🌧️Nimbus, & ⛅️Mackerel — sons of
☁️Cloud — tiny demigods of the DC Comic world (Cirrus has a large scar, similar to Joker, extending from one ear to about halfway across his chin) — temporary guests of Colleton County Animal Services — tootie ba-tooties with wittle tiny booties — swatters of all things that dare near their precious Churu — our first. set. of. foster. animals👏👏👏🥹😭🤪😇

We thought we knew what to expect going into fostering, but we never imagined just how rewarding it would be! Watching these spicy, scared little babies transform into happy, playful, affectionate kittens has been one of the greatest joys we’ve experienced🥹🫶

…and apparently we caught the foster bug because one month later we’re up to 11 fosters!🤪
Yes…the shelter had to cut us off like it was last call
🙈😂

The BEST news?🎉🎉

Almost ALL of our foster babies are available for pre-adoption RIGHT NOW & our 1st foster babies are scheduled for their spay/neuter surgeries this month — which means they’ll be ready to go to their new forever families soon!🏡💛

The sweet orange boy featured in the video, Mackerel, is one of our very 1st fosters! When we met he was a tiny, little thing that could barely be touched! Fast forward a few weeks & he is thriving, full of s***k, & soaking up every bit of love he can get🥰
We’d love to find him a good home asap as he is due for surgery soon🏡

We also have met some wonderful people along the way, including our new foster friends, Meridith & family!🫶
Meridith’s family is currently hosting 7 foster babies! 4 of which will be ready to go to new homes soon!😻

We have:
⛅️Mackerel (orange baby in the video, male)

Welcome to the world little fella🐶🍾🐾🎉💙

05/30/2026

Please help us welcome our very 1st Livestock Guardian puppy to the world!🎉💙

05/30/2026

🎉🐾 IT’S A BOY! 🐾🎉

Today, 5/30, Ghost & Moira welcomed their very first puppy into the world & our first livestock guardian puppy ever born on the farm!✨

This sweet singleton boy arrived on his due date!💙
Healthy, strong, & absolutely perfect! At just a few hours old, he already has everyone wrapped around his tiny paw! From his little pink nose, to his fat belly, & beautiful Targaryen hair color lol, we are completely smitten🥹

I’ve been watching Moira all day knowing she was in labor. As soon as I go inside for about an hour she delivers all on her own lol! When I found this little guy he was completely dried off & resting comfortably with a full belly!🥰

The kids have been counting down the days for this moment, & seeing them hold this precious little snowball for the first time is something we’ll never forget! Momma is doing an amazing job, baby is healthy & content, & we couldn’t have asked for more🙏✨
(other than more puppies obviously lol🤪)

Looking forward to watching him grow into the guardian he’s meant to be & to future litters from Ghost x Moira (with hopefully more puppies next time if y’all don’t mind lol🤪)!
Welcome to the world, little man!🤍🐾✨
