Tragic news has struck our homestead today... Our cherished peacocks were attacked, one perished and another left fighting for its life. Residing in the countryside means facing the threat of predators, a harsh truth that comes with the territory of homesteading. From neighborhood dogs to wild animals.
Now caring for our injured companion, we are faced with the sobering reminder of the delicate balance we must maintain in safeguarding our animals from the dangers that lurk around.
Absolutely devastated π

Talk Turkey to me!
Love turkeys sounds, they can be great protectors of your flock.
Five cool factsβ¦
1. Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey over the bald eagle.
2. Both female and males gobble. 3. Their Poop can determine weather they are male or female. 4. They are both social and sensitive animals. 5. Wild turkeys can fly.
These quail babies grow so fast! Did you know they can start laying eggs as early as 6 to 8 weeks! They reach full maturity at 10 weeks old. Love these little pocket chickens. Ask us how you can start raising your own.
So tiny we love our pocket chickens π€© #coturnixquail
Recessive white Coturnix Quail...we like to call them pocket chickens. Love their little sounds.
Peep peep! Adding a couple of new breeds to our homestead! Assorted Crested Polish Hens and Black Copper Marans.
