A Country Gals Handmade Gifts From Her Farmette, & A Local Source For Heritage Chickens. I had a pet pig that was the runt of a litter. I called him, glut-glut.

“Once a country girl, always a country gal at heart!”
I grew up in the country, in Colorado. My mother raised chickens, pigs and calves given to her from a nearby feedlot. As a teenager, I remember those days of feeding the calves with the buckets that had ni***es for their formula. I easily got attached to animals less perfect. I married and we spent our honeymoon in Colorado, part of which was

a visit with my mother at her country home. I remember waking up in the morning to roosters crowing, a hen talking in her broody talk, a squeal from a baby pig, geese alerts, and calves mooing to be fed! You see mom had a house with a side porch all along the side of house of which our room was on! I said to my husband, “Yes, Dear, this is what a Farm sounds like in the morning hours!”
Mom was a great gardener and we helped her prepare the soil, w**d and pick the produce. Her whole back yard was a garden. One year she canned 50 jars of corn! My page photo is of my granddaughter, and I, showing her the 101’s of making a garden plot, when she was around 6 years old. Never to young to learn farming and never to old to still enjoy the farm life! This page will also show interests from other sources, in organic gardening methods, garden recipes, healthier eating, self- sufficiency, all things about chickens and everything with a bit of story telling. Lets share our experiences, successes and failures as we dig into our gardens, work our farms, raise our farm animals and enjoy Family and Friends throughout!

Mama Dollie with her babies. Dollie is the daughter of Blackberry and Ellie. He had the mottling gene, passed it on to Dollie. Two genes, one from daddy and one from mama give the mottled feathering,(white tips on black feathers.) Out of 4 eggs, we got three black showing this and one yellow(white) chick with recessive gene,(not showing.) That's a 75% showing! Success!

I like to cook meatballs in the oven. They don't get hard on the outside like pan frying does.

These Oven Baked Meatballs are the best!! 😋

Little silkie hatched normally. She has trouble standing, so I give her a few minutes in a scone cutter where she can't spraddle. Ha! She likes it, but learned how to jump out of it too.

Mama and youngster enjoying an apple treat on my designed bird feeder.

Macrame Bird/Chicken Feeder

Made some bird feed holders and can use for chickens too! Taking these to the Feb. 10th farm show in New River.

Another use for my handmade Pouch Produce Holder! Made out of an outdoor cord, strong and washable. All you do is untie or tie closer the front cord some to adjust for the amount of produce in the pouch. Chickens can eat the produce through the designed openings. Our hen, Pepper, was the first at trying it! See my new up-graded ones in newer video.

Out doing the farm chores and checking on new chickens. Here are the young 55 Flowery boys with one young Easter Egger girl.

Critters came out after our Winter Storm this morning. As usual the snow melted fast.

Nice sunny day, low wind, so I let mama and babies out to their little outdoor space to dust bathe.

Got an unexpected visit today! The baby is so cute!

Chick #2 has hatched on Valentine's Day Night. I had to bring egg in from mama, it was cold due to mama busy with the first chick. Now I will sneak the chick and the egg shell back under her today and observe for a bit. This chick is half 55 Flower and half Buff Orbington.

Mama hen is patiently waiting for the other eggs to hatch! She moved egg back under her along with the feed dish, LOL! I retrieved it for baby.

Sweet thing to watch a mama hen talking & teaching her baby to eat.

Video of stair-like chicken roost in our big chicken coop.

A day in the life of a chicken raiser! First off I discovered that a mama hen miscalculated and stepped on her egg that was hatching today. Let's say she gave it some speedy help. So I took the egg in, put it in the incubator and it finished hatching. All ok! Now I have to sneak it back under mama later! Mystery chick turned out to be from a buff orpington hen. The other egg, no hatch yet. If it hatches I will have to do the same. These two were a few days behind the other four that hatched. Let you know how it goes later with the new hatched chick.

Mama and her babies. Teaching them to eat. She is a good mama hen.

Mama Raisin and her baby talk! These two babies represent what you will get from our fertilized eggs. Pure White Silkies, regular or Satin/or Satin Paint. The mama's are white regular feather or Satin Paint and the daddy is a full white regular feather Silkie. Black Cochin mix, with regular or frizzle feathering. Mama's are Blue Production or Black Sexlink/Frizzle Cochin. The daddy is a Bantam Black Frizzle Cochin. PM me if interested in eggs for hatching.
