Wonkey Mama hatched her first chick. She is teaching it to eat and drink. I wonder what they are saying to each other.

This is Wonkey Mama. She is the smallest serama chicken on our farm. She is currently sitting on some eggs. They are expected to hatch shortly. I am super excited.

Pasture-raised eggs are often called ‘expensive’ or ‘overhyped,’ but let’s get one thing straight: the difference isn’t just the yolk color.

Factory-farmed eggs come from hens crammed into cages, fed soy and corn, and often pumped with antibiotics.

Meanwhile, pasture-raised hens roam freely, foraging naturally and getting exposure to sunlight.

The nutritional difference? Higher omega-3s, more vitamin D, and fewer inflammatory fats.

Don’t let anyone convince you that an egg is just an egg—there’s a reason those free-range ones cost more, and it’s worth every penny.

Today, our homestead welcomed its first Silkey egg. I am in love with these little fluff butts. I will post pictures of them later.
