the older chicks had playtime outside today! all 3 of my newborn chicks had curled toes, but after 36 hours with tape applied they are SO much better! adding in a before pic

the two polish are starting to look crazy! I also had the most adorable chick hatch (and wasn’t expecting this color variation at all). post more / better pics when dry!

update: chick is doing significantly better this morning. eating and drinking on its own. still seems off balance, but is no longer screaming or gasping for air. any tips on how to continue caring for this lil weakling greatly appreciated. continuing to do vitamins and electrolytes in water...

1) 2 week old chick, black australorp from TSC 2) gasping for air, chirping, shaking. not able to walk, balance seems off. 3) about 48 hours progressively getting worse 4) housed (previously) with 9 other chicks none of which show signs of this or anything like it. we have since separated this...

cuteness overload incoming! updated pics of the three bantams- and a few of our standards as well! they’re getting harder to take group photos of now lol

feathers are coming in nicely, a new group photo to come soon❤️ side note; i’ve managed to collect a dozen eggs this week.. but i had to sit at the coop for HOURS every day just to save them from being eaten! *i will be setting some in my incubator*

all the babies are growing well & my absolute favorite fell asleep in my hand!! awe.

oh don't worry, that was just playtime! they're in an actual brooder ❤️

Long story short, I started my chicken journey back in maybe 2018 (or earlier) for 4H. Since then, we’ve learned a TON and got more land. Anyhow, when my flock started eating their own eggs a few months back I swore I was just going to stop… uh well that brings us to now when my mom brought home...

“i’m never doing chicks again!” and i’m up to 10 now in my brooder. oopsie. lots of fun breeds in here including; RIR, ISA Brown, Buff Orp, Sapphire Gem, OEGB, Polish, Cochin Bantam etc!!

sadly only 3/10 of my duck eggs made it to lockdown. sorry, life has been busy… i’m excited to watch these ones hopefully hatch!

hi everyone! wanted to update again… we are now getting 7 eggs on average, and today i collected a blue egg too! i’m happy with this progress and thank you for all of your helpful tips. they still eat a few, but we’ve had 66 eggs since this started and i’ve sold 2 dozen!

this batch of chicks is doing lovely! next eggs also set. 8 lavender orpington (going to hand turn) and 10 call duck…

they are getting up and around for snacks today! also, I set 10 duck eggs in my incubator as of last night!! having a bit of trouble with my other incubator for the lavender orp eggs… ugh

ok guys sorry this time is for real… i ended up having 8 hatch, 7 made it. I am LOVING the colors. holding 2 back to grow out, growing 2 for a friend, and selling the additional 3 !

FINAL HATCH COUNT: 6/10… what a cute and happy outcome… next hatch will be set Tuesday, but will fall into June I think!

entry #2 (final)

finished my hatch…. 6/10… not too bad for surprise eggs. i think the last 4 had a wacky timeline. one happy mama! thanks everyone for the love! i’ve enjoyed combining my love for photography with my passion for animals.

i think we have 32 live birds on property right now… but 10 of those being babies which i sell! we usually have about 20-25 so i’ve been busy lately!

While it’s been quite some time, probably back 2019 when I joined or early 2020 since i’ve posted a general life update. I come on here, from time to time.. and then vanish again. I will not get into a ton of my personal life, as i more really just want to share my passion and my current...
