We got our first turkey egg today! I had no idea they would be so beautiful, and I also imagined they would be bigger. The one we found is slightly smaller than a large duck egg. Does anyone eat turkey eggs?⁣

Meet Mary - the oldest of our French Black Copper

Meet Mary - the oldest of our French Black Copper Marans hens. This year she has decided to join Freckle (a Flower Hen) in stalking the garage waiting for someone to go in so she can dart in and lay her egg. At least they are always perfectly clean on top of the hay bale, and high enough that the puppies can’t steal them. She’s going to have to get used to a nesting box again soon because she definitely going to be in our breeding group this year.

She’s also the one that laid the teeny egg I posted a couple weeks ago that I thought was one of the new pullets. Turns out it was just a new year/system reboot misfire!

Marans eggs are my favorite for eating. The less porous shells mean the eggs stay super fresh longer than others, and their excellent foraging combined with slightly decreased laying rate means the yolks are extra rich in color and nutrients, as well as being very firm - perfect for my favorite “sunnyside up” eggs.

Happy #meetmychickenmonday @17chickensandcounting and @chickouttawater!

This week’s theme for #homesteaderhaven is “HOMESTEAD SHOUTOUT” and I would like to give a shoutout to Bethany Bessom at @awakeningourfarm.

The adorable Bessom family is one of my favorite accounts to follow. I love seeing their beautiful photos and inspiring and funny captions. One that stands out to me is “The mud will wash off but the memories will last a lifetime.” In addition to their family some other photos in their feed are sweet goats, gorgeous chickens and a handsome livestock guardian dog. They also just added a super cute Holland Lop bunny to their farm. I loved the photo series where Bethany picked up their Pyr pup every month until he was too big get off the ground.

I think you will love the Bessom Family / Awakening Farm too! Check them out @awakeningourfarm.

Want to play along with #homesteaderhaven this week? Give one or more of your favorite homestead/farm accounts a great big shoutout and share why you love them.

Day 31 / Piece of advice / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead

I think my best piece of advice for this platform is to make sure you keep focused inward for your truth and don’t let yourself get caught up in comparison or thinking you aren’t doing enough or doing the right things etc. Stay focused on what you believe in and dream about.

Follow the accounts that inspire you, connect with you personally and leave you more motivated to do your thing. I follow a wide range of accounts and some of my favorites are the ones that make me laugh out loud and speak to aspects of my life that never make it to my own feed (at least not yet?) I guess what I’m getting at is take what works for you and leave the rest!

Thank you @venturatohomestead for creating these prompts and hosting this month. It’s been a pleasure to get to know you and your family.

PS This is a white silkie chick, one of the ones we hatched on Christmas. They are feathering out so nicely and it’s really fun having baby silkies in the house! (We generally hatch in warmer weather and move chicks outside before this age.) ⁣#babychick #chicken #chickenfarm #chickenkeeping #chickenlife #chickenmama #chickens #chickensofig #chickensofinstagram #crazychickenlady #dailyfluff #farmfresh #homestead #homesteadinglife #lovemychickens #pastureraised #permaculture #permaculturechickens #petchickens #silkie #silkiechick #silkiechicken #silkiechicks #silkies #silkiesofinstagram #spoiledchickens #whitesilkie #bwtsilkies

Day 30 / Favorite recipe / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead

We’ve been pretty “egg-cited” about all the delicious eggs we’ve been getting this month now that our chickens are laying a lot more.

I mostly cook by technique more than specific recipes but I took a little trip down memory lane and found some egg recipes on my blog from almost 10 years ago. Here’s one I want to make again!

Day 29 / Current view / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead

I’ve been looking at a growing bowl of eggshells on our counter all week. Today we decided to crush them up to give back to the chickens. We never had any issues with chickens eating their own eggs until last year (and we’ve always given back halved eggshell as well as leaving free choice oyster shell). But our egg eater issues kept spreading so just in case it will help I decided to try crushing the shells this year as our new pullets are all starting to produce. The kids had a lot of fun helping!

I’ve been trying for several weeks to get a port

I’ve been trying for several weeks to get a portrait of Bria and Blossom together, but this is what they do every time the camera comes out. No, they’re not fighting - not even a tiny growl. These two get along really well and love to play together.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I think this is the first time I’ve shared Blossom with @parallel45farm on #farmpupfriday. Blossom is our youngest pup (only by a week though). She is the most gentle and calm of our dogs but also has a very playful streak in her. She loves the morning and evening zoomy time, especially when Beau joins in. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Beau is the only one of our dogs that can run faster than Blossom, and I think she might be able to outrun him when she’s fully grown. When the two of them get to zooming around I love seeing how they turn on a dime and it makes me think about just how important their double dew claws are; they really dig in to the ground and stabilize their back legs when they’re turning and going full speed at the same time.⁣

Day 28 / Preparing for spring / #31daysofhomestead

Day 28 / Preparing for spring / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead

We have been on the lookout for American Guinea Hogs for a while, and jumped on the opportunity when we saw these girls available somewhat locally. (They were hard to find and are on the @livestockconservancy list as “threatened.”) I had no idea they would be so cute - I had never seen this breed in person before these two girls arrived at our farm this week! Photos don’t do them justice.

As soon as they arrived they dove right in and started rooting around. Within a couple hours of their arrival one of them was already accepting pets and scratches and they rooted up the whole 8x8 pen in just one day. Their pen is easily moved and they are helping us to get a jump start on spring garden preparations by clearing and rooting.

When the weather warms up, we will move them over to the wooded areas to help us (hopefully) keep ahead of the growth along the perimeter fence/hedgerow this year.

Peter is really excited about managing the wooded areas of the property for harvesting wood for woodworking and firewood as well as easing the transition between the pasture and woodland so we can keep moving toward agroforestry.

I am excited about a usable understory to give the animals shade in the heat of summer as well as building a food forest. I’m dreaming of future mushrooms and fiddlehead ferns. #foodie

Thank you @cyrusridgefarm, we love these girls already!

And thank you to @rebekah.rhodes & @thejustinrhodesshow since Permaculture Pigs helped us make our decision to add pigs to our farm and helped us decide which breed!

Day 25 / Characteristics of your area / Day 26 / Anything goes / Day 27 / Your neighbors / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’m dumping three into one here to try and catch up before the month is out! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Area characteristics: We’re in a valley between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Plateau. It’s not very clear in photos, but the view beyond the cedar trees is the Blue Ridge Mountains. In person they are more noticeable, but the distant view kind of all gets squashed together in photos.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣When we first moved here we noticed more extreme temperature fluctuations from day to night than in the NYC area (as the cold air settles in the valley). We seem to be really feeling the effects of global climate change. We had the hottest and driest September on record for WV last fall and this winter has been very mild; most nights the animals’ water doesn’t even freeze outside.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Anything goes: Bella (in the photo above) is just under 2 weeks away from her expected due date. She has continued to stay with the sheep and pretty active until yesterday. I extended their paddock about a week ago to include all the sheep fencing we have in case she wanted to be alone more but she has spent a lot of time laying down near the sheep rather than patrolling in the last couple of days.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Neighbors: We don’t see our neighbors often because everyone in our area mainly keeps to themselves and chose this area for the privacy and quiet country lifestyle. Neighbors do help each other when called upon though!⁣

Day 24 / Sustainable living / #31daysofhomesteadin

Day 24 / Sustainable living / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I have been interested in sustainable living just about as long as I can remember. One of my early memories is when my family went on a hike with my grandmother and she talked to us about the importance of leaving a place better than it was when we found it.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This way of thinking about sustainability really appeals to me. I think it is similar to the way Ben Faulk @wholesystemsdesign said it in the film “Inhabit” (paraphrasing): ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If we try to reduce the “bad” things we are doing then we are getting into a mindset that ultimately leads us to thinking it would be better if we hadn’t lived. Instead, let’s focus on our lives making such a positive impact that the world is better for us having been here.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Let’s return to actively managing land with the assistance of animals that in turn feed us, and maybe our neighbors or customers in our local area too.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Let’s share and teach each other and build soil so we can keep growing more food and plant trees for future generations and clean air etc and truly leave this earth better than it was when we found it.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’ve come back to the lesson my grandmother wanted to teach her grandchildren many times in my thoughts throughout my life and now at this moment I think I am on the path to embodying that lesson.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣It is one of our most basic desires for our farm. Sharing about how we are trying to be sustainable/regenerative and learning from others who are doing the same is one of my favorite things about Instagram.⁣

Day 23 / Your routine / #31daysofhomesteading with @venturatohomestead⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣Our routine right now begins with waking up at dawn and watching the sunrise. I love starting the day this way. Each sunrise is slightly different, though similar, like our days right now.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣We currently have a lot on our plates so every day is a little different but I think this is a typical routine:⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣I make breakfast while the kids play and Peter gets some desk work knocked out first thing. We eat breakfast together and then give food and water to the animals.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣During the bulk of the day we mix in work, play, cleaning and sometimes still have construction work going on on our house.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣With the days so short we don’t typically eat lunch, but have hot chocolate or an extra pot of (decaf) coffee and snacks. Our littlest one has quit napping for now and goes to sleep as soon as the sun goes down (or sometimes a bit before).⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣We try to run specific errands on set days, like a weekly grocery trip to our co-op.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣Evenings we have a hot, nourishing meal and get to bed early after refreshing the hay for the animals and feeding the dogs.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣Sometimes it feels like the majority of our routine revolves around feeding and cleaning up after everyone, while trying to squeeze in all the other things we want to do. I think that feeling is pretty typical for most families though, right?⁣⁣
