I received this email today from the Michigan DNR regarding avian influenza- be on the lookout for problems with wild birds.

DNR staffers collected 77 dead Canada geese and one dead mallard from the Fennville Farm Unit at Allegan State Game Area in Allegan County. More than 80 dead Canada geese were reported along the Shiawassee River near Owosso in Shiawassee County. About 25 dead Canada geese were reported at Williamston Lakes in Ingham County, and another 20 dead birds were reported along the Grand River in Grand Ledge in Eaton County. About 100 dead birds were reported in Washtenaw County.

Please consider supporting a Momma with cancer. We all know it sucks and living is hard.
Lots of great goodies to be had and helping someone out!

Hello, friends 💜💜💜
Firstly, THANK YOU, all for your donations to the fundraiser for Rainbow Egg Layers' Momma. I appreciate everyone who pitched in and came together to help a complete stranger, but a sister, a wife, a mother, someone's friend. This benefit/fundraiser was initially setup by Chiq Silkie Boutique when she reached out asking for a donation to aid her friend's mom . It all turned to wildfire from there and the Universe landed it on my page. Our goal was mutual - to help a sister hurting.

Secondly, let the 🧇 begin. I will try and keep it sweet and short.

My gosh, Mother Nature is really being a bitch!
Snow in Florida and Texas?!
Below zero temperatures in my home state of Michigan.
How is everyone doing out there???

Let’s support each other - we all know FB can be a beast to work with!

I haven’t done an update yet due to surgery, limited use, and travel, however, the things I HAVE used have been amazing!!
The immune support smells like I should cook with it 🤣 and I am putting it in the pens daily for odor control and something for the birds to do this winter.
I’m anxious to try the fertility as my boys are still not doing their jobs!

I cannot recommend this enough!

01/19/2025

I’m glad I’m not home, but I do hope everybody’s babies stay warm and safe with the upcoming cold spell!

We are taking precautions to be sure chores are done early, doors stay buttoned up, and they get extra warm food and Henhouse Reserve to help our birds increase their own body heat.

I’m down in Florida for a while and I haven’t bought eggs in 8 years. I give extra eggs away to friends who are chicken tenders when we go away for the weekend. I’m sure they love me more now 😁
I cannot believe these prices!

We will be back next month with babies, eggs, and grow outs for you!

01/10/2025

It’s a beautiful morning! Take time to enjoy yourselves and a slower January🥰

This double silver from Rustic Roost Silkies moved outside today to have a couple ladies of his own.
This Romeo stole the hubbie’s heart and they hung out together each day. Romeo must have been a falcon in his previous life as this is his favorite position and sits for as long as you will hold him up high 😁
Excited about the gorgeous and more balanced whites to come! 🤩🤩

12/24/2024

Merry Christmas Eve my friends!
I’ve been taking some much needed time away and am healing following surgery.
Will be back in full swing in a few months in full hatching mode and excited to see how my new boys perform!

12/19/2024

Quarantine life is so tough here 🤣

Devastation and loss hits especially hard this time of year.
Please consider supporting our sister in her family’s time of need.

12/08/2024

It’s a beautiful day in Northern Michigan!
The snow has melted as quickly as it appeared, the sky is blue, and a few tiny tweaks to the palace are finished! 🤩

We installed a couple of LED grow lights for those days when the barn doors can’t be opened so they can still have some good light for a couple of hours.

Electricity is run, heaters installed for the grow outs, waterers all plugged in, and now lights.
We are ready for you, Old Man Winter!🥶

Are you ready for winter?

Last call to get your birds on transport!
New route for next weekend
I have 2 white chicks, a buff satin frizzle, and a buff frizzle, all off heat- almost 2 months old.

This dominant white is so sweet - from another breeder. No longer breeding this color.

Transport will pick up from me this Monday. You can still get on the current route, beyond stop 9

12/05/2024

These are all available again for transport next week!
We couldn’t make the transport work, so their loss is YOUR gain!

If you are beyond stop #9 and interested in 2 older white chicks (6 weeks and off heat but not outside) or either guy, let me know fast to make it happen!

Dominant white from paint and satin frizzled buff. They were in a boy pen. The buff was a bit rough with the other guys and is large and in charge or I wouldn’t move him along - hence the missing feathers.
The dom white gave me gorgeous paints with little leakage, which I no longer breed. Good wings, combs, and beautiful toes. I think they are both about 18 months old but will send dates on their passports.
