Our first attempt at Wisteria Cordial. Was not a success cause someone (me) forgot to stir it and the mold went wild. But I will be back to try again!

This is what happens when you lovingly feed your chickens snacks and make them like you- they become a little too comfortable. This is my bedroom….Left the door open while building a cage on the porch. Someone went on an adventure.

Our first chick has busted out! #9- Leghorn/Jersey Giant cross. Estimating to be a rooster.

The home stretch! Last candling before hatch day, and I couldn't be more excited to see all eleven eggs looking healthy and strong, even the one that seemed unlikely to make it. The suspense is killing me!!

Tonight we candled the eleven eggs in the incubator. Day 9 and we have ten wiggly little chicks growing. I like those numbers.

*Photo- the chickens testing their luck in the view of my back up camera. 😂

Incubator update! 14 days remaining.

We lost one very healthy egg to an accidentall drop while candling. Two look questionable, but the rest are healthy Scarlett finally saw one of the fetuses move and lost her mind 😂

We are experimenting with egg shape to try to determine chick gender. The idea suggests that nice rounded eggs are female and pointed eggs are males. In less than a month, we shall see.

Taking advantage of this lovely weather, we’ve started building a larger coop using the pig pen that was here when we moved in. As most of you may know, Arkansas is prone to rocky soil and this momma is all about not digging new holes. Fortunately for us, the corner posts here are well set. During deconstruction, we found a mess of eggs, all cracked after the wave of freezing temps we had a few weeks back. Kid enjoyed throwing them at any rate. We took the opportunity to teach Scarlett how to back out and drive screws. Gotta start em young, right?
