One of the incubator eggs is starting to hatch! This is our first time hatching chicken eggs, using a little incubator my husband had used for hatching quail eggs. So exciting!! #grownostr #chickens #homesteading

Fun! We just did a round of a dozen quail and got five healthy chicks. 🐥 My kids are obsessed!
Its such a fun and interesting thing to do. For kids especially😊
We're going to start homeschooling the kid and I'm thinking maybe at some point chickens may be in our future. My concern is all the hawks, owls, raccoons, possums, and dogs we have running around 😐.
Yeah everything wants to eat chickens. Our most recent problem has been a bobcat. We had to put the chickens in a smaller run that is more secure. I put some wire over top of the run, and the coop we made pretty secure. But its all worth it when you start eating those delicious eggs. Good on you for the decision to homeschool😊
Yes! I was getting eggs from a lady my mom worked with until she quit 😫😫. It hurts to buy eggs, lol. The lady loved chickens but not eggs so I just had to provide egg cartons.
Our school has been really good, but the current superintendent is retiring at the end of the year and I think it's the end of a good run. It'll be better for all of us in the long run, so many opportunities are availabe for him.
I did that last summer - my girls just started laying
So cool
