The triplets' commemorative birthday photo. Just in case they ever have a disagreement in the future as to who is the oldest, youngest, etc.

The handsome little arrival just a short time later.

Never give up on your dreams...keep sleeping!

Dont freak out. This isn't a photo of a dead chick.

Meet Hei Hei. This is how he/she likes to sleep.

Hei Hei was struggling and required assistance during her hatching in order to survive.

This resulted in the beautiful experience of her emerging into the world literally IN my hands less than 24 hours ago.

She/he is a little different, obviously, but fits right in on our farm. ❀πŸ₯°

With all 6 eggs in the hatcher pipping this morning, today is looking like it is going to be filled with hatching pheasant babies. πŸ€—

Wheelbarrow scratches

Little Ollie was just waiting for the wheelbarrow to be unattended, everything is a toy to scratch on.

05/10/2020

Another baby has pipped his/her shell. We expect to meet this baby sometime in the next 24 hours.

Duster Momma

A feather duster makes a great pseudo momma.

Buddy warming his toes in the day's waning sunlight while he naps. What a multi-tasker. πŸ˜‰

Unfortunately, we experienced a technical issue that resulted in the loss of our entire first batch of pheasant eggs. 😭

We're back with a heavily reworked hatching box and more eggs. Temp and Humidity are holding steady. Fingers crossed.

05/03/2020

Puzzle: "Quarantine another month??! Yay...more cookies for us!"

05/01/2020

Little Benny got himself in a little predicament while playing with the wheelbarrow. He just calmly waited for someone to release him.🀣

04/30/2020

We're excited to meet our first pheasant chick born on our farm. The chick however, is taking it's time working at a chill pace. πŸ€—

04/30/2020

Just love all the sweet smelling apple blossoms.

04/29/2020

Made a nice hatching box today for the baby pheasants that are starting to emerge. Little peeps can be heard coming from the tiny eggs as they rock about in the warmth. Can't wait to see how many we get. Going to try hatching some silkies next.

Our farm is becoming smarter than us.🀣 Just received our Wyze Smart Lock with Keypad, no more fumbling for keys or hiding them for guests. We now have enough cameras to monitor all the animal enclosures and with the current promotion going on, enough Smart Bulbs to control lighting in all the buildings and rooms. We also added their Smart Plugs to control the fans in the barns and to automate the chicken coop run.
If anyone is looking for Smart Home devices at an affordable cost with no monthly fees check out WYZE. They are also a local company in Seattle.
Use code LIGHTUPMYLIFE thru June and get free bulbs for every $20.00 spent. (No I don't get kickbacks, just love the products)

04/25/2020

Trying it again this year. Hopefully within a week we'll have baby pheasant hatching.

04/23/2020

Update: This little bunny did not live beyond the next morning. 😒

Just when I thought I was going to make it through a Spring without bottle feeding, this little guy was dropped in the hallway. Bad Marty Cat, but at least we have an opportunity to nurse this little day old cottontail bunnny to age and hopefully free it back into the wild. Your safe now little one.πŸ’•

Clarence and Hugo enjoying the great outdoors together while Marty hunts bugs in the background. Such pretty little boys.

04/18/2020

Koda and Kaiha waiting patiently to go feed with me.

Buddy has found the best sunspot in the house.

04/14/2020

Happy sunny goat faces! Puzzle, Bourbon, Calvin and Ollie.

04/10/2020

Whew....finally cleaned out all three gardens and built a greenhouse over one along with a hoop house over the smaller ones. Now we can plant seeds directly into the soil and extend our growing season.

You wouldn't know this happy little clowder of cats weren't litter mates but they all love a good game of round robin wrestling. Such a happy bunch.

Turbo charged!

Sassy hears french fries

Sassyfras (Sassy) was having a blast playing with her toy for the longest time until Kim tossed a french fry on the floor before each of the 3 dogs right after I started recording Sassy's play. We'll let you watch the video to see if you can tell when she HEARS each fry hit the ground. Lol Baby girl loves her food, and attention, but mostly food!! ❀

Ollie's first walk outside
Ollie's first walk outside

Look who snuck out of the barn this afternoon while I was cleaning. Ollie was headbutting everyone and giving his little gimpy leg a good workout. He got side swiped a couple times but picked himself up out of the mud, gathered himself, and headed back in for more.

After falling on the ice a couple days ago and unable to lift Ollie into his wheelchair for play, I decided to let him free play in the barn with Puzzle. He is having a blast and using his front legs pretty well. One still buckles but with more time, play and therapy I think he'll be running in the pasture with his herd this summer. Go Ollie go!

Pascal loves walking with Kaiah, even if she doesn't pay him any attention.

Even though little Ollie has a hurt foot it isn't slowing him down. I forgot to latch his gate over night which he discovered around 1:00 a.m. and decided to join the herd for headbutts and cuddles. Nothing slows this mischievous guy down.

Our Story

It all started when we rescued a baby duckling and chick from a busy freeway while living in the big city. Less than a year later we bought a farm in the country so we could provide forever homes to even more animals in need. Hi, We're Kim & Michele Erskine. Come join us as we navigate our way through our latest adventure of bringing a small neglected 2.5 acre farm back to life through hard work, love and laughter.
