I am incredibly proud of my birds and the progress I continue to make in my breeding program. Every ribbon tells a story of hard work, patience, perseverance, and a whole lot of chicken love! 🐓❤️
This year, those ribbons mean a little more to me!
Earlier this year, I found myself feeling extremely discouraged about the upcoming show season. Between battling a double sprain and not being able to produce the larger hatches that I had originally planned for, I honestly considered canceling my show season altogether. I felt like I was falling behind before the season even had a chance to begin.
However, I reminded myself that every journey comes with its own challenges, and sometimes I have to make the most of what I have rather than focus on what I wish I had accomplished. So, I pushed through those obstacles, kept moving forward, and continued working with the beautiful birds and blessings the good Lord has placed on my farm. 🐣
One thing I’ve learned is that everyone has to start somewhere, and growth doesn’t always happen on the timeline I have planned. Sometimes, the greatest accomplishments come from simply refusing to give up when things don’t go according to plan.
I truly believe that when you remain faithful, put in the work, and trust God’s timing, you will eventually see the fruits of your labor. 🌱✨
So, this show season is still in progress but it has been about so much more than ribbons and placements. It’s been a reminder of resilience, faith, patience, and the importance of trusting the process.
I’m not where I want to be just yet, but I’m certainly not where I started. And for that, I am grateful! ❤️🐓
Here’s to continued growth, stronger breeding programs, and all the little victories along the way!
