Our girls love getting food scraps especially: tomatoes, watermelon, oranges, grapes, and lettuce! 

They are free roaming hens, and forage majority of the day, but also have access to their chicken feed for additional nutrients. 

Our hen breeds are:

• Red Sex Linked

• Buff & Lavender Orpington

• Sapphire Gem

• Speckled Sussex

Our son Murphy has been truly in love with the silkie breed of chickens ever since he saw them! So in January of 2024 we picked up 4 silkie chicks. 

Silkies are incredibly difficult to sex when hatched, and the gender isn't known until they are about 3-4 months old. We took a gamble, and figured maybe we could get maybe 1 hen! 4 months later we had all 4 crowing in our garage (pre-homestead purchase).  Frank came along a little later, and took the alpha roo position. 

My goal for 2025 is to build my very own roadside Farm Stand, with character. charm and a little bit of spice!

Some images that inspire my imagination are...
