A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

They're off and Running!

The chicken run is complete!  As you can see, the birds were very excited.  My son keeps asking if they are in a race because we call it a "run" haha!



The baby chicks are growing nicely as well.  Very happy, scratching away....


Momma is still watching over them....


We haven't had any other eggs hatch.  I think it's too hot and they are spoiling.  Two hens on one nest is probably throwing off the balance of heat.  So, as of right now we still have our 14 babies, healthy and happy with their momma hen :)

And that's my little update.  I just had to share the news of the run being complete. I am so happy and so are the birds.  :)

Until next time....
