It's National Drink With Your Chicken Day!

Our family winery, Murphy Creek Cellars , is celebrating with Chicken Hawk the English Pheasant Fowl and SNAFU the Satin Silkie. Stop by their page, show some love for a small business, and let them know how YOU celebrate 🥳

We are super excited to have picked up our first flock of juvenile Midget White turkeys. As a breed that is listed as Critical by the Livestock Conservancy, they are soooo hard to find, and many have been outcrossed. We were very fortunate in finding a breeder with foundation stock. Thank you Mike from the ChickInn Ranch. We look forward to having them at the homestead.

Breed of the Week: Midget White turkey; Conservation Status: Critical; Midget White toms average 13 lbs., hens average 8 lbs. Learn more about Midget Whites here: http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/midgetwhite.html.
