5R Farm

5R Farm Backyard chickens inspired our move to the country! Sharing the joys of the small farm life in St. Helens, Oregon.

Order my book “An Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Raising Backyard Turkeys” everywhere books are sold! We started with a flock of 3 backyard chickens in 2010, which soon grew to 5 chickens. The idea for 5R Farm became a reality when we purchased 4.5 acres in St. We now have several dozen chickens and turkeys and 3 beehives. I sell pasture-raised chicken eggs as well as natural bath and body products including handmade soaps and lotions.

Blackberry bloodbath 🍇🔪but I’m okay! 🤣 We all have that one favorite hen that can never get her fair share of the treats, so I’m trying to make sure Prudence gets some blackberries and getting very messy in the process!

My friends have such beautiful Polish hens, and I’ve always admired their fabulous crests and pretty buff coloring. Finally I was able to add one to my flock and I was so excited!! But my girl is a bit of a hot mess express 😂 she can’t keep her crest clean even after I trimmed her feathers and she hates when I try to wash it. She won’t wear a ponytail 😂 so instead of the glamour girl I dreamed of, I guess half her hairdo is just gonna be perpetually brown! 😂 I still love ‘Nilla to pieces though. It’s a good reminder that everything doesn’t have to be perfect for life to still be pretty wonderful.

I saw Peggy Sue waaaay down the driveway eating an apple that fell off our tree. I brought it back to the safety of her so she could share with Bindi although Peggy Sue wasn’t happy about it! 😂 Peggy Sue and Bindi might seem like an odd couple, but they are each good for the other and give each other confidence in different ways. They sleep together in the nest box at night at it’s the sweetest thing ever. Sharing for with

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. 🫶 My garden is overflowing with flowers and I’ve been sharing them with lots of friends and family this summer. Cameo by Peggy Sue, complaining about the lack of treats. I had to leave the original audio so you can hear her grumpy little voice! 😂

Tom turkey or hen? Some features like a beard are not 100% reliable to s*x turkeys. People tell me all the time that my two year old hen Dora is a tom because she has a beard, but she lays eggs and she’s a momma so definitely a hen! 😂 Hens can also strut. It’s their facial features that differentiate toms from hens. The larger snood, wattle and caruncles, as well as the redness of these features in toms compared to hens are the telltale signs.
