Save money, raise your own laying hens for eggs!!! That's a great idea, BUT, if you're thinking about this, make sure you thoroughly understand what baby chicks need to grow and thrive. Can you provide them with a draft-free environment at 90 degrees for the first few weeks of their life? Get the correct feed for growing chicks, keep their waterers clean? Have a fenced run they can be out in when old enough? Have a coop with nesting boxes for them to lay eggs in? Do you know it takes about 6 months for a new chick to grow old enough to begin to lay eggs? Do you know there's a difference (major!) between breeds that lay eggs and the breeds that are for meat? Laying hens are not roasting chickens - too lean, not as much meat on them. They're great for stock and soup meat when they get too old to lay eggs, though!

I decided to post about this because I had a call the other day from someone wondering if they could buy chicks from us. They wanted "organic" chicks. I told them that baby chicks will be organic if they are fed organic feed as they grow and they said "Oh!" Very surprised.. I told them where they could buy chicks. When I got off the phone, I thought, "gee, I hope they find out more about chickens than they appear to know now, or they'll probably not succeed and a batch of little chicks will suffer as a result."

Please do your research and have the right feed and equipment before you buy baby chicks. Reach out to us for info if you're thinking about it!

if you buy any or all of your meats from small farms like us, you must listen to this, what the USDA is doing to try and stop small farms from providing meats directly to customers or that will force the costs for us to raise them to rise exponentially.

Take a stand to protect farmers' rights and stop animal EID! Join us at the Rogue Food Conference to help stop mandatory animal ID laws that threaten our rig...

So thrilled to announce that one of my paintings has been accepted into the Tulip Time Top 20 for the 2025 poster competition! This is the third time out of 4 years I've submitted that I had a painting selected for Top 20 - I feel so lucky! Entitled "Colorful Tulips", this painting is a many-layered watercolor batik (using wax as a resist) on ginwashi rice paper. The second image is a mosaic that Tulip Time has posted on their web site to show all Top 20 contenders for this coming year. Looking forward to the fun of participating in the activities!
