My great-grandparents escaped Europe and came to America. They took a train out west and homesteaded on some barren land. My great grandma grew and preserved all of the food for their large family. They even had success with fruit trees that aren’t typically grown in that region. How did they do all of that? The knowledge has been lost, and I will spend my time regaining it!

Chickens definitely were my wisest investment of 2022, have you seen the egg prices lately?

I always suggest to buy from local farmers and someone showed me the local farmers in their area were charging $12 a dozen, and I’ve been over here giving eggs away for free, haha. Chickens put a whole new perspective of growing wealth under your feet. They are also a good reminder to stop looking to the future and telling yourself “one day, I will be happy.” That day can be now, you just need to make it now. Whenever I get caught up in the whirlwind of life and start thinking that way about the future, I ask myself: “how can I ever expect to receive more, if I’m not grateful for what I have?” I find happiness when I take time to be grateful for the things I have.

My chickens teach me to be grateful. They are funny, have little personalities, and they run the homestead.

In just a week I should also have my first hatchlings! I'm so excited to watch them hatch and bring life into this homestead.

Gratitude. This is something we mostly fail to take cognizant of.

We need to leave to be grateful for the little things that we have while expecting the large ones that's coming in the future.

You are doing great with your eggs and poultry farm. Well Ma'am.

I want some... Oh, and the reason I don't buy eggs from local farmers is that I found old eggs mixed with fresh ones too many times. I even have a phobia in this regard...

oh yikes, that brings up a good point to be mindful of who you're buying from. Sorry that happened to you
