Absolutely zero filter 🌞

Good Morning, Friends—

It’s okay to do what you feel is best for your flock.

It’s okay to work with birds that aren’t “perfect” in your breeding program.

It’s okay to have your own opinion and be the odd one out.

It’s okay to feel like you’re falling short—though I promise, you’re making huge strides.

Just a gentle Monday reminder that we’re all moving at our own pace, and that’s perfectly fine… but I can assure you’ll get there.

Have a blessed Monday! - You got this Week! 🙌🏼

My 2025 mottled goals were “simple”:
✨ More proportional, fuller crests
✨ Extra feathering on those feet

I think I nailed it! ✔️

Wishing everyone an amazing Sunday! 🐓 ☀️

This is your friendly reminder that I am not Walmart, Amazon, or Target.

Like many other breeders, I often get messages like:

“I want THREE black mottled pullets, black skin, big crest, oh and no DQs.”

Well… yeah, I’d like that too.

Here’s the truth — these kinds of special requests can be extremely exhausting. It’s just not realistic. We’re working with living, breathing animals, not pre-packaged inventory. And after enough of these requests, you start to feel worn down.

Some breeders may run more like a “Box store.” I, on the other hand, see myself as more of a boutique — small batch, thoughtfully raised, and full of surprises.

If you’re here, I hope it’s because you love the process, the birds, and the uniqueness each one brings — not because you’re shopping off a checklist.

No one I mean no one can tell me chickens don’t have feelings.

These two are always together. Side by side and soaking up the warm sunshine together☀️

“What’s going on in your brain?”

Before the day begins—clean coops, full feeders, and everything in place.

I absolutely love being up before sunrise.

Wishing you a sunny-side-up kind of day…go make it a good one!!! 🍳☀️

“Why do you need such a fancy Set-Up?”

The short and correct answer to this is: I don’t.

Some of the MUST are secure coop structure, hardware cloth (NOT chicken wire), FULLY predator proof, ventilation, proper housing that protects against ALL weather, and a clean environment.

The biggest reason I did this is because my old set up just wasn’t working for me. Believe it or not it wasn’t insulted, drafty, and dark. Winters were tough. Super tough.. for myself and the birds.

The reason why I built this is for myself and to keep my birds safe. You do NOT need a set up like in order to raise birds. I don’t want everyone thinking this is a must to raise happy healthy quality birds.

However, sorry for the delay, but a coop tour is coming soon!

Have a great Wednesday! We are half way through the week! 🥳
