Well, well, well….if it isn’t more surprise chicks 🐣 I’d been looking for this hen for weeks, had given up. This afternoon she emerged in the barnyard with eight babies 🥳! I found the nest inside a rubber feeding bucket in the goat’s trough. So many questions about how she managed this with the goats jumping in there all the time and the raccoon issues we’ve had this spring, but man. Good on ya, gal! Look what a great mom she is teaching her babies to eat 🥰#chicks #chickens #sneaky #farm #farmlife
The adolescent crow...
The chicks are going through adolescence and it's especially obvious with the young roosters, who are trying to learn to crow 😆

Remember how our last story, “Honorary Mermaids”, was set in Nova Scotia? We just returned! Our family vacation took us all over Prince Edward Island and to Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Highlands National Park along the Cabot Trail. You couldn’t ask for more beautiful country! Stay tuned for more stories 😄#canada #canada🇨🇦 #princeedwardisland #pei #novascotia #capebreton #podcast #family #vacation #stories #foggyoakfairytales #peinationalpark #cabottrail
First egg 🥚 Hard boiled egg is great for baby chicks and ducklings and helps keep them tame! Second duckling did hatch and is joining them soon! We’ve got the two Muscovy ducklings, buff orpingtons, jersey giants, and americanas this round - the chicks were an emergency add to help keep the ducklings company since there are only two!#chicks #ducklings #farmlife #farm #alwayssomethingnew
A pipped egg! Hatch imminent! 🐣 This process is called “candling”. I was checking the egg to see if a hatch was near and found the pip! Time to let this duckling do its work! #hatching #ducklings #ducks #chickens #chicks #candling #candlingeggs #candlingduckeggs #farm #farmlife
A teaser for our Season Two Teaser :D!
See you in Season Two (and check out the full teaser on Foggy Oak Fairy Tales wherever you get your podcasts)!
One of the black locusts split in half 🌳 😖! We had a wicked storm brew up this evening and I went out afterwards to find the cracked tree. It missed the barn but did land on the trailer! Black locusts are a really interesting species - this won’t hurt it for long. These trees have limbs that fall off with some frequency, but they’ll sprout more branches and continue on just fine. In fact, they have a tap root system so even if you cut one down you’ll deal with saplings sprouting up for years! Key to immortality? 🤔P.S. I’ve been listening to the audio book for “The Overstory” by #richardpowersauthor and have been offering our trees more pats and hugs than usual, and giving more consideration to their plans. Glad this member of our barn trio will be ok in spite of the limb loss!#theoverstory #richardpowers #farm #trees #tree #farmlife #blacklocust
