I missed it this year!

Fear makes a strong motivator at first, but it’ll eventually wear you out.

And sure— the world feels a little uncertain right now, but that’s nothing new.

We can let that consume us, or we can stick our hands in the soil and focus on the things that matter— the things right in front of us.

In about a month we should have some new babies in the backyard.

We donated 4 chicken eggs for the elementary school incubator and will pick the baby chicks up shortly after they hatch. Miss Zelda is sitting on 7 eggs in the duck house.

We will not be keeping them all. 🤣

Our new chicken laid a light blue/green egg today. Hmmm. Still trying to figure out what breed she is.

Got a new chicken today, she supposedly lays blue eggs.

What should we name her??

Any day that starts with breakfast tacos at the Farmer's Market is a good day.

Garlic is here!

House Chicken™️ is officially living inside until further notice.

I picked her up to bring her in the other night and discovered she has flystrike under one wing. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty gross and stinky. There's some necrotic tissue but after a couple of ACV baths, poultry cell, and some betadine iodine she actually looks a lot better. Of course the maggots have to be picked out by hand, *gloved* hands, of course. Still, super gross. 🤮

But anyway, she should make a full recovery, she's big mad she is confined to her "apartment" in my office. Cross your fingers she's all healed up soon so she can go back to bebopping around the backyard with her duck frenemies.

"What is that thing?!"

I couldn't resist seeing what they thought of one of my Halloween decorations. 😅

I hope so.

Saturday harvest, I wonder what I could make for lunch with this?

08/20/2023

Jam is finished and setting up after the water bath. 9 small jam jars and 2 larger jars. 😍

Canning weekend with my mom. We've made peach salsa, dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, peach pies for freezing, and peach jam.

Garden eggplant turned into parmigiana for dinner last night. It was delicious!

08/13/2023

First ripe tomatoes from the garden, plus arugula, basil, feta, EVOO, and white raspberry balsamic. 😋

The other chickens quite literally ripped MeiMei a new one a week ago. We've been letting her hang out in the backyard with the ducks because they are afraid of her and don't bother her but the flies are so bad I was concerned she would get flystrike.

We upgraded the "hospital" inside and she's getting a break from the heat and the bugs.

If you live local, this weekend (Sat & Sun) we'll have eggs in a cooler near the end of our driveway for sale.

Every state is different, in Indiana we don't have to have any egg-stra licensing to sell directly from our property, so the cost of setting up a stand is minimal. 🎉

-Organic free-range chicken or duck eggs

-Bring your carton back next time & get $1 off!

-Half-dozen duck eggs $4

-1 dozen chicken eggs for $4

-I will have at least 1 mixed dozen of half chicken and half duck eggs for $5.

A chicken tender has to do what a chicken tender has to do.

We had some eggs on the verge of going bad, we definitely don't eat as many in the summer as we do when it's cold, so I cooked them all up with Parsley, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes and made a chicken board with Greek yogurt and some fruit that the kids haven't finished off. In all, I scrambled 16 eggs and threw two out.

Everything in here is not only safe for chickens but very good for them! They were quite suspicious of the shiny tray so I ended up dumping it over but it was a fun idea nonetheless.

Bonus: I'm drying the egg shells in the oven to crumble and add to their grit & oyster shell feeder in the run as a calcium supplement.

Throughout the late winter I sold several dozen hatching eggs and just got this video of brand new babies hatched from our eggs. They're so cute! 11 out of 12 eggs hatched for a local family.
