Life just keeps growing, even on days we feel like 😵.
How do you find your happy again when you're down?
I stare at my chickens and garden. 🌻

I have sooo many pullets that need a new flock. No fault of their own, I just am narrowing down my keepers and, although I want to keep them all, I just can't.
They range in age from 3 weeks to 4 months.
Also have some lovely little roosters if you would like a premade flock.
A few available:
Blue laced red wyandotte
Marsbar
Zombie
Bielefelder
Black maran...may develop copper. May stay black.
Sapphire olive egger
Some barnyard mix-should lay bloomy or speckled.
15-25 clucks depending on age and breed.

Silverudd eggs from Pure Grace Hen House...sooo pretty. Very excited to add these babies to my flock.
And...check out the love this egg is putting out into the world. 💚

Busy busy weekend getting a new run and coop built.
While I appreciate the deal and ease of the run...it definitely needs modifications.
Coop is 100% pallet wood and extra pieces we had laying around. Cant beat free!
My teenie chicks seem to love it though, and thats good for me.
More pics when it's finished to my satisfaction.

To say that I am excited about this batch of eggs from Hoods Hatching Eggs would be a gargantuan understatement. 😍 Look at the speckles! The deep color!
Every egg arrived intact, snuggled safely into the perfect packaging (+2!)
I am happy dancing as these start their rest period before I can nestle them into my Maticoopx tomorrow!
Thank you, Christa!

It's hot. And humid. But...we have watermelon. And shade. And indoor air. 🌞🌻🥵 Always try to find some good. ❤️

Check out this adorable baby Lavender D'uccle from The Twisted Turnip. 😍
Four have hatched so far!
Please ignore the voiceover...I was exhausted.
