We are almost there! We have to put up the fencing and start planting. We are so excited! We have some trellises up, and we will try to get more before the next growing season. We will see how the corn, sunflowers, and okra do to help double as trellises. Stay tuned! It's going to be a fun growing season!

This will be our last fundraising post! We will be going this weekend to buy a few more supplies. Ms.Valerie has starts that desperately need to be put in the ground 🌱, so it's time to wing it. We do have everything to do our outer fencing, so our garden will be protected from our lovely wild rabbits 🐇and deer 🦌. We will put it up after we get trellises figured out. It's just easier that way. We are going to try to pull off a few natural trellises(corn&okra) too. I really want to say thank you to everyone who has donated!

We have gotten a few cash and check donations, so we have lowered our overall goal to reflect that. Thank you all for your support. We are slowly getting there. We just purchased some of the t posts for the outer fence. We will still need more t posts and cattle pannels for trellises.

There is absolutely no plan. We are just starting about the same amount as what we usually do plus 1-2 extras. If we have extras we usually share with family and friends. We are trying out some major companion planting this year, and we have a ton of flowers! 🌱🌻🌸

Thank you to everyone who has donated. We will start tilling and working on fencing this weekend. Valerie will be helping me with some seed starting too. I'm not 100%sure how we are going to plan everything out this year. It might be a little random until next growing season. We will post pictures soon.

So I'm going to make the post because Savannah is still pretty upset/bummed. We have spent the past few weeks prepping and getting the garden layed out. I was getting ready to burn, till, and set up for spring. We got home Saturday evening from our best friends wedding and woke up Sunday morning to this. The garden is gone and we won't be able to get it back up in time. Heavy winds took out three dead trees and set them down on our garden. 😭 maybe?

We have added new members to the homestead. Please welcome Cream and Cheese. If someone could make an educated guess on the breed that would be much appreciated! They said they were rex/dutch mixes, but the floppy ears are making me think they have some lop.

We are so excited about these. They are birdhouse gourds. We should have about 40 when it's all said and done, maybe more considering they are taking over the garden. We can't wait to make bird houses for next spring.

Baby bunny preparations!

We are hustling to set up a camera. There is another pip, but that one on the right should be hatching any minute.

Days 15-17: Our chicks embryos are on day 17, but it has been very hard to see in the eggs. The little ones have been growing a lot to fill the inside of their eggs. On day 15, the chicks absorbed their guts. That's right their insides just now went into their bodies. On day 16, the chick embryos finally grew in feathers. On day 17(today), the chick embryos tuck their heads under their wing to prepare for hatch. Day 18: A lot is going to happen tomorrow. The chick embryo fills the rest of the space in the egg, and a good amount of the yolk is absorbed into their abdomens. The chicks will live off of the yolk for up to 72 hours after they hatch, so they might not want to eat for the first day or two. The yolk is very important when a mama bird is hatching eggs. It keeps the chicks that have already hatched from starving while the others hatch. Not all of the chicks will hatch at the same time. It can take a few extra days for some to make their way out of the shells. Tomorrow is also lockdown day. We will take the turner out of the incubator, so the chicks don't get harmed by it while they hatch. Days 18-21: On day 20, the chicks will make an internal pip through the air cell, so they can breathe. Between day 20 and 21, the chicks will make an external pip in the egg shell. A few hours after they pip they will zip and hatch. After tomorrow, we will start checking for external pips everyday.

Day 14: Only about 7 more days to go! Today the chick embryos turn around in their eggs. Their heads will now be up towards the air cell. We candled all of the eggs today. Unfortunately, we had a few that quit developing. We are now down to 15. It's ok. We always expect to lose a few when we incubate. We can create a similar atmosphere for the eggs to hatch, but nothing can do what a broody mama can. We will candle for the next few days, then the eggs will go on "lockdown."

Day 13: Our little chick embryos are still growing like crazy! They are developing eyelids today. I didn't label it in the video, but there is either a head or foot next to my thumb. I wanted to let everyone know that it doesn't hurt to candle everyday. Mama bird will periodically get off the nest for up to 20 minutes at a time to eat and go to the bathroom. I only take the eggs out for about 2 minutes, and I try to choose different eggs everyday. I also want to note that their hatch date is the 28th, but they might start to hatch a day or two early. Once we get to day 18, keep an eye out for a live video.

Day 12:

Days 11-12: Shame on us...we skipped a day. We didn't candle for day 11, but we did catch what we think is a little foot. Over the past 2 days the chick embryos have developed little tail feathers and scales on their feet.

Day 10:

Day 10:

Day 10: Our little chick embryos are getting claws to go on the end of their digits that they formed a few days ago. These are important because they will use them to scratch for food after they hatch. They will officially hit the halfway mark of development this afternoon. They are moving around more and more each day, and they'll continue to do so until about day 17-18. Around day 17-18, they will grow to fill the inside of the egg and things are going to get a little cramped in there. We get to enjoy their wiggles until then. Over the next few days, we might catch a glimpse of a foot. Make sure you look closely at the videos. We will try to point them out if we see them.

Day 9:

Day 9: Day 9 already! We are working our way to the halfway mark. Our little chick embryos are opening their mouths today. We also caught something really cool in the video today. We got to see a new blood vessel forming. It looks like a little worm in the egg, but it's just were it hasn't stuck in place yet. We have seen this a few times before, but it's cool that we are able to share it. Loss update: We did go ahead and remove our bad egg. We were able to look at it a little closer, and we came to the conclusion that it was either not fertilized or stopped developing in the really early stages. Bacteria was already starting to form in the egg, so it is best to remove the egg. If a bad egg is left in the incubator it could explode bacteria all over the other eggs. This could cause deformities and even death for the other embryos. We did take pictures, so if you are interested in seeing it please message me. You can compare it to how the others look today. Fun Fact: Mama chicken or broody chickens will often push bad eggs out of the nest.
