Graphic content ahead for some; this is the reality of having chickens. Predators love easy targets! 🥲

We’ve been getting more eggs than normal - & it’s winter time - that’s a win in my book!
Down to 14 laying hens….

🐝 & that’s on having bees next year 💕🙌🏻
Gonna start stalking I suppose….
It’ll take another year after that before I’m able to harvest the honey - but can’t wait to offer honey along with farm fresh eggs to all my customers! 🐝

Did not order any colored layers for 2025 - I feel like their eggs are harder to crack (hard boiled) & they aren’t as large as the white/cream/ brown eggs. A few of my customers request solely brown/cream/white eggs for that purpose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s y’all’s take?

🐥 It’s 2025 open season from ! Yall know I had to snag some new babies!

Here is the breakdown of what I pre-ordered:
🤎 Partridge Rock (5) - Never had this breed, apparently similar to the Barred Rock but different feathers patterns.
❤️ Rhode Island Red (5) - Good layers, good temperament, all around good bird. Wouldn’t say super friendly, but they will tolerate your antics.
🧡 Turkens (5) - Love this breed, probably a close second favorite. Super friendly bird. Can probably pick up and hold a few of them. Not super mischievous like the Barred Rocks can be...these give me a Buff Orpington temperament vibe honestly.
♥️ New Hampshire Red (5) - Good layers, similar to the RIR, probably cant handle them a lot, but they will tolerate you and stay close.
💛 Bull Orpingtons (5) - Super friendly. Great layers. Will ALWAYS be up in your business.
💛 Buff Cochins (2) - Heard these are gentle giants...let’s hope so! Never have good luck with roosters...
🖤 Barred Rock (15) - My absolute favorite breed. They are a bit mischievous, they WILL get into everything. They are like the bad neighbor children. & they will get on top of your car if able.
🤍 Amber Star (5) - Never tried, but heard good layers! Very pretty birds too.

If it’s your first time having chickens, I would stick with good layers. I wouldn’t venture into the ornamental breeds, top hat breeds, etc. Where I live, I really cannot have tophat breeds free ranging across our property because they cannot see well...so they become easy targets for predators unfortunately! I am going to venture into the Silkie Bantam (chicken breed) territory - but haven’t ordered those yet!

Wanted to share this on my feed too - my 5 year old has a real bad cough right now. So here are my Go-To’s that I thought y’all would enjoy as well 😁

My first go to, is the Drosera (2nd slide) - when in doubt, that’s my first grab.
I also love the Coconut V***r rub from - it’s SO good & I’m thankful it’s not Vicks 🤪

The book is linked in my AmazonStorefront - under the Curation of “homeopathic, holistic, clean living” or the Idea List of “Clean(er) Living”

Comment COUGH & I’ll send you all these links! (Easy peasy!)

The speckled ones just hit different!
Coming back from having our 4th baby - I’ll be shipping out hatching eggs again. I know a few are already on my list to ship - so if you’d like to be added, let me know!

The shipping costs the most 🙃
✔️$15 a dz - plus $20 shipping. (Crazy huh! Shipping is wild.)
✔️If you’re local, will do mailbox dropoff for just cost of eggs.
✔️If you order 4dz+, shipping is waved. 🎉

I got 20 dozen eggs in my fridge 🤣 I’m gonna need y’all to start buying some!

Late in my pregnancy, my hustling-egg-slinging-game is kind of weak, so I really need to advertise my eggs for sale more (I usually put signs out on my street - & folks stop by.)
