Emu-sed, are little Arwen is growing big.
π£π Our mystery breed is hatching! ππ£
Guess what, friends?! We have some adorable new additions to our flock - baby chickens are hatching in the house once again! π₯β¨ But hereβs the twist... can you guess what just came out of the shell? π€
These little cuties are a mystery breed, and we canβt wait to see what unique and beautiful feathers they will have! Stay tuned as we watch them grow and discover their personalities. Any guesses on what these sweet babies might look like? Drop your predictions in the comments below! ππ π₯π
Our new flock of quail are finally laying eggs!
Guess wut? π π
π£ Exciting news! Our baby orbs have settled and reached room temperature for 24 hours before placing them in the incubator. We gave them a quick candling before placing them in their incubator, and it looks like almost all of them might hatch! Some were a mystery due to their shell color, but we have high hopes for a successful hatch. Stay tuned to see what breed will be joining our flock! π₯β¨
π Special delivery alert from π Excited to announce that Iβve got a new breed I canβt wait to incubate! π₯π£ Stay tuned as I hatch these mysterious orbs and discover what unique creatures await.
π₯πΏ Who knew there were so many differences between store-bought eggs and farm-fresh eggs?! Here are 3 quick facts for ya:
1οΈβ£ Farm fresh eggs are packed with nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and beta-carotene - all essential for a healthy diet! Say goodbye to that bland, nutrient-deficient store-bought egg.
2οΈβ£ Many commercial egg farms keep hens in tiny cages, even if they label their eggs as βCage Freeβ or βFree-Rangeβ. At Every Feather homestead , our hens have plenty of space to roam and live their best lives!
3οΈβ£ Ever noticed the difference in yolk color? Store-bought eggs have a pale yolk, while local farm-fresh eggs have a rich, dark yellow-orange yolk that bursts with flavor. Trust us, once you try a farm-fresh egg, youβll never go back!
Ready to make the switch to local, and pasture-raised eggs? Pick up a carton at our farm stand or ask for our delivery options and taste the difference for yourself! π³β¨

Hey there! Have we met? My name is Trish Miller, I am the Co-owner/Manager of Every Feather Homestead. Some might say Iβm the brains behind this operation, but I would say I am absolutely the heart. I love our homestead inside and out, and most importantly, I love our animals.
I am a wife, mother of five, a Veteran, crazy chicken lady, and lover of all animals. I grew up around the homestead life, learning the ins and outs from my grandparents. My first love for farm animals started with horses. You could find me out with the horses every chance I got. My best memories as a child were spending time with the animals; from bottle-feeding calves, playing with chickens and rabbits, and being chased by geese. Being raised around farm life, I saw the good and the ugly behind it. I also learned hard work, respect, and love. Itβs a lifestyle I certainly came to love and appreciate, and I aim to teach my family and friends the same life lessons through our Homestead.
Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to sharing our experiences with you here at Every Feather Homestead.
Throwback to where it all began with our cherished chicken coop made from free pallets, an old door, and a free china cabinet off Facebook Marketplace! ππ‘ Sharing our favorite memories of our feathered friends enjoying their cozy coop. ππ

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
Immerse yourself in the symphony of farm life πΆπΎπ¦ Thereβs nothing quite like the soothing sounds of nature and the breathtaking sight of our elegant peafowl roaming freely.πΏπ #FarmLife #PeafowlParadise #NatureSounds #TranquilViews #SimpleJoys #peafowl #peacock #peacockfeathers
