On the Homestead

The homestead is bustling and I can feel the energy shifting here. It’s a busy time of year on a farm – starting seeds, babies being born, and preparing for the next things.

We are awaiting ducklings.

We picked up new chicks from the post office today. We will be raising these for meat birds.

I also got Americauna chicks for colored eggs. Val is loving climbing in the brooder to hold them.

Our egg production is up! Silly hens love laying in the goat hay.

Val even loves farming in the house these days.

Our baby goats are getting big but still love cuddling Mama Fawna.

And proof that we have a third cat. This is Barnella who came with the homestead and she’s getting a tad more social. A tad.

Spring is in full swing! How are you preparing for summer?
