My dream is to own a homestead where we can enjoy healthy food, environment, and sustainable living. My dream is still out of reach, so for now I homestead in my suburban backyard with my husband and four sons.

We Have Chicks!
The eggs are not due until tomorrow, officially (well that and a in a couple days, this is a very slightly staggered hatch) and we already have two beautiful and healthy chicks. The incubator makes photos impossible, so those will have to wait until I take them out, but I can tell you that they are adorable, fluffy, tiny, active, and have little poofy white topknots on their heads that send the boys into fits of giggles.
We have Pips!
The eggs are due starting tomorrow and we already have some singing in the incubator and at least one pip. I am really excited as I have taken extra care with this whole incubation process, being very very precise with relative humidity and temperature in the incubator.
Nothing to see yet, really, but I will post with photos as soon as we know anything is really happening.
