This is the story of a homeschooling city girl, trading in her Saks 5th life of luxury for farm tack and homesteading! My family, new farm critters and I will share our successes, failures and crazy stories during this new chapter of life!

CHICKENS!

YAY!  Our first eggs!  Grizzabella (Ashlyn's chicken) just laid her first eggs!  So far, she has laid 4.  I ordered an OVASCOPE online so we can see if the eggs are fertile or not.  Click on the word Ovascope to see how cool it is!


Meanwhile, we just bought 13 more chickens, so we now have a total of 20!  Chickens lay less in the winter, but next Spring/Summer, we should have LOTS of eggs!  We'll have to separate some of the hens from the roosters so we can have unfertilized eggs.
