The Keck Homestead

The Keck Homestead We are a family of 5 in the beginning stages of our first real homesteading adventure! I'm a Registered Nurse turned homeschooling, homesteading mom!

My family moved from central Buckeye to the Rainbow Valley area so I could embark on this homesteading journey. My goal is to teach my kids some great lessons and make my family more self-sufficient. I also hope to be able to become a source of high quality and highly ethical goods to our community! I look forward to sharing this adventure with you, so thanks for being here!

The brown one on the left is my newest doeling, Snickers. We just brought home her brother (wether) and he needs a name. I'm partial to Doodle just so I can call "Snicker Doodle" when I go out 😆

What name do you think suits this beautiful young wether? (Pictured on the right)

After the flock started settling in for bed last night, we gathered them up and got them to their new owners. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to the flock I have put so much into while also getting to watch another family start their new adventure ❤️

This is Billy.

He's not ours, but we're babysitting him and getting him ready to go live on a farm with lots of room to run and play.

No, he's not dying. He really is getting ready to move to a new state (with his existing owners) and will spend the rest of his days with acres and acres to enjoy.

But first, The Keck Homestead is helping to ensure he gets proper veterinary care and that he learns to respect a virtual/wireless boundary. This is much easier on our property because his owners currently live in a community with concrete walls around all of the properties.

Billy has been with us for just over a week now and he's doing great!

A short story about the difference between FRESH eggs and store-bought eggs... and the importance of understanding all instructions prior to cooking... 😅

I decided to learn how to poach eggs, tonight. At first, I just read the directions, which said to separate out the watery egg whites. My brilliant brain took that to mean separate the egg whites. As it was cooking I thought, "well, this isn't right." Went back and watched the instructional video and realized she meant any egg white that's much thinner than the rest.

Well... that part of the egg doesn't exist when you get the eggs from your backyard instead of the store. So that was why I was confused. 😂 This is now my new favorite way to cook my eggs.

We have chicks! I count 4 already hatched and 1 nearly hatched. Stay tuned to see how many we have in the morning!

It's only 80 degrees today, so I took the opportunity to do my seasonal cleaning of our little 10x10 barn. Fresh straw has been put down for the goats as well as in the nesting boxes.

And I'm expecting a broody hen to hatch eggs for the first time within the next week! Super egg-cited!
