Anyone else planning your spring hatches yet?

Now since I’m at a good point with what I have/ what I’m producing my goal is to hatch less this year and make the tougher cuts! I have my first set of eggs in the incubator and am aiming not to hatch again till they are older!

In case anyone was wondering… not only am I not a fan of the snow, neither are my silkies. She very much gave me the “wtf” look when I plopped her in the snow.

We got hit with a decent amount of snow and the temp this morning was -7. So thankful for sweeter heaters, and an insulated shed, the silkies seem to be doing well!

Our goats on the other hand- have decided treats are the only thing worth coming out for, otherwise they are tucked inside their shelter 😂

I used tonight’s pre cold cleaning to take advantage of photographing these absolute perfect grow outs that I will be keeping. Every single one of them… oops 😂

*Picture of my temp roo*

After last week I noticed that I unintentionally step away from social media when I notice more bad than good. I want to believe this is normal and happens to us all, but it also seems like there are some that thrive in negativity. I saw a comment today that mentioned how monetization has changed social media, and it got me wondering. Is that truly what people believe is needed to get views? Have we gone so backwards in society that negativity pulls in more attention than positivity? Am I the only one drained from it? I’ve been fortunate enough to live a life with minimal drama in it. Heck I prefer the cute/funny/honest videos over anything else. How do y’all have time for drama? We read a caption these days and take 1 sentence out of it and twist it to be negative, or take 1 comment out of 100 and make it seem like everyone is coming for you because of xyz. We rather avoid the tough conversations to satisfy a narrative than try to see eye to eye. But, this is not a call out post… if you feel called out - MESSAGE ME! Let’s talk! Let’s have a conversation about why, so that we can both come to an understanding. I don’t want someone to ever feel like they can’t approach me about something, and if I get defensive… call my ass out. But say it to ME because I am the only one that can improve from that conversation- not your 4000 followers. This post is written with love. Love for this hobby, and love for the breeders who go out in the cold, the hot , the rain, and the snow to continue the lines that have been created over time!

Ok - rant over 😂

Black split to mottled grow outs ♥️

5️⃣0️⃣ each. 18 has a missing toe on one foot, and then 67 has a slight curve in the beak from incubation (pet quality and 🆓 with a friend)

Also she’s a head dunker so her head is honestly the cleanest you’ll probably ever see it 🥴
