Yall!! Some good has come out of this insane week!!
It’s been so long since we’ve hatched a porcelain silkie baby! I have such a small group so I combined them with my Milles to keep them warm in numbers through the winter months.
I just opened the incubator to find one of their babies!!!! I’m so excited! And this reminds me of why I do this! How blessed am I to get to witness these miracles on a daily basis and be a small part of bringing in new beautiful life!

Check out this pics! The sweet baby is still drying - and we are cuddling by the fire to keep warm!! Cannot wait to see it fully fluffed out!! Oh, and do you already see that big fluffy beard?!!

For those who don’t know, my Christmas present this year was a porcelain pair from Lauren Taylor’s lines and after a much awaited shipping delay, they should be here next week! I’m stoked!!!

So excited for our program this year! We have worked hard and been blessed to work with some amazing breeders to be where we are!

Update and FYI!
NO eggs from our farm will be put in the mail this week! We will re-address it next week and it will be a case by case basis. Last week we mailed a ton of boxes, utilizing the special insulation wrapped around our entire boxes. And while some shipments were delivered in perfect condition, others weren’t unfortunately.
If you have gotten eggs from us, you know the extent of work and love we put into each box to ensure you have best experience possible. But even all our work didn’t hold up to the cold for everyone. We have 72 hour heat packs on hand, but as slow as even priority mail is, the heat runs out in most cases making them useless.
This isn’t fun for anyone involved, trust me. With the expense of my heater going out, I could really use some egg sales, but there is more to think of here than that.
#1, What a waste to put even more gamble of our future potential gorgeous feathered babies.
#2, We do not want a bad hatch for you, or any possibility of that.
#3, While it is not our policy to replace eggs that arrive frozen, I’ve been on the receiving end in the past and the breeder didn’t care. I won’t let that happen on my watch.
So, the safest option for all of us is to be patient and wait it out. If you are considering buying any this week, or shipping, this week, please look at the route the whole way for the eggs and check all those temps. We literally do all the things to fully wrap the eggs, insulate the boxes entirely, and double box, and none of those efforts have been enough. Quite clearly some boxes are being left outside in below freezing temps.

Temps are looking better next week, so if they hold up, we should have no problem with egg shipments and live shipments next Monday!

No debate or drama with this post. Just sharing what my experience has been today with eggs we shipped out. You are all obviously welcome to do what you wish and what is good for you. 💛

Now, if you are local or want to make the drive, I’m overflowing with eggs at the moment!!! 🩷

Thank you everyone for your understanding while we have been dealing with the heat issues and trying to catch up with messages. Still no heat. Hopefully tomorrow. We have gotten through the first half of messages today. We are absolutely exhausted and going to get a few hours sleep. We will be back tomorrow to hit the 2nd half of messages. Kudos to everyone who can keep up with their messages!!! Yall are my hero’s!!

We woke up to our heater in our house quitting on us, of course! In the middle of some of our coldest temps.

Thank goodness for our fireplace keeping at least this room warm! But the rest of the house is at approximately 50 degrees, or colder. And the garage room where all my new babies are is now without heat. I’ve put a blanket over the brooder to keep in as much heat as possible. Unfortunately can’t use a space heater in there as last year at this time I used one and it tripped our breaker, causing me to lose over 300 eggs in my incubator! Not making that mistake ever again either!

I will be back to all the messages as soon as we get it all handled today.

Would anyone be interested in a waffle? Maybe for more lavender chicks/eggs? Or gray? Or silver pencil laced/spangled? What would yall be interested in? Might be looking at posting one, depending on how this repair costs.

We Texans aren’t built for this, and our crazy 120 degree days in the summer!

01/19/2025

That is everything, at least for the next week or so! That took DAYS longer than I anticipated!! I don’t know how everyone does it routinely! Haha
Ok, now to catch up with messages!
I will be here for the next 2 hours or so answering…then going to sign off and spend the next day with my daughter! We are beyond happy and excited for family time!!!! I’ll be back bright and early Monday morning to pick back up.
Love you all! Thanks for your patience. (Katey has taken this week off so I’m flying solo right now)

💗AVAILABLE ADULT BREEDERS💗

These have been working hard in the breeding pens, enjoying the sunshine, dirt, and fresh air. As a result, they may not look their absolute best, with sun-bleached feathers and molting. Rest assured, I wouldn't have kept them in my breeding program if they weren't stunning in their prime and only parting with them to help family funds a little.

*Pairing Opportunities:* I also have nice breeder boys available for pairing. Don't overlook them - they're essential for a successful breeding program! I’m not requiring roosters to go with hens at this time. But will offer a bit of a discount if a boy is picked with a girl.

Exciting Updates from Our Farm!

Hello and thank you for being here! We’re going to start off with some mid-month updates and information!

First, keep an eye out for our Valentine's Day offer, posting next!! This is something we’ve never offered here before and there will be limited spots available.

Also, this weekend, we'll be listing approximately 65 birds, most from our keeper stash of growouts, and some adults - up for discussion. You'll have the option to choose from local pickup, upcoming transport via Liz @ Burlesque Poultry Page or Heather Hawton, or shipping.

Speaking of shipping, we've made some important changes to ensure a smoother experience for both us and our customers. Due to the inconsistent USPS tracking system, we've decided to utilize AirTags for all shipping here on out. This means we'll require a $20 deposit per box, which will be returned once we receive the AirTag back. Each AirTag will be placed in a padded, self-addressed, and self-stamped envelope, making it easy for you to return it. If you have your own AirTag, feel free to mail it to us to include instead! I do apologize for this as I know how difficult the added expense can be, but we have had a few boxes of birds just “go missing” for days recently. It can be very unnerving for everyone involved.

Please note that we'll be slower to respond this weekend and will be completely closed for all business and communication on this coming Sunday. We are celebrating a very special milestone - Katey's 21st birthday! Everyone who knows me knows just how important my daughter Katey is to me! There is no “Francene” without Katey! She is my absolute best friend, my side kick, the most loving and giving daughter in the world; she is part of the backbone for Queens of the Coop. I could not do all I do without her! She deserves the world, but most definitely deserves her “perfect day” of celebration for her birthday. (Please help me wish her a very happy birthday!!!)

Looking ahead, we're committed to achieving a better work-life balance. To make this happen, we'll start posting a weekly calendar outlining our available and unavailable times. We plan to take at least one day off per week for family time, which is essential for us. With hubby constantly on the road and Katey starting college, we need this downtime to recharge.

In other news, our waffle for a beautiful hen (with a choice of travel companion) is still open, but very close to being filled! If this happens to fill before next week and the winner happens to be on one of the upcoming transport routes next week, we'll cover 💲1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ towards transport instead of shipping.

Stay tuned for more sales, waffles, and auctions in the near future and into the Spring! We're working towards some significant goals this year, including helping Katey with college expenses to try to keep her debt-free, her wisdom teeth removal, completing our fence, rebuilding the chicken courtyard, and addressing my back pain. Your support means the world to us, and we're grateful for not only your continued business, but also your friendship and love.

I can’t be the only one who has had such a rough and crazy week…? I pulled up the full moon calendar and maybe this is why? What are y’all’s thought?

When I worked outside the home, I always felt like all the crazies came out during full moon and I despised working on those days!

But this week, the hits are coming every few minutes from all angles. And just now, as I finally sat down for a few minutes to finish packaging eggs and try to edit photos of the 100s of birds we have available, I look out the window to find a family of 3 walking around my yard and down by my back gate to where my chickens are. Completely trespassing! Of course I go out there! They first said they were there to buy a neighbors truck - who isn’t even home…but then they start telling me to sell my chickens to them. Ummm no! And you can kindly get off my property!

Any one else feel like they may have a mental breakdown? Just me? 😢

If you are reaching out, I’m here. I promise! Just trying to hold it all together at the moment.
