A hard 48 hours

admin | March 9, 2010

Well, the time had finally come. I wasn’t really ready for what was about to transpire. Yoohoo was looking a little different to me. I was concerned and called the breeder, Karen. She didn’t know exactly what to make of it but she did have several ideas. Later I went [...]

One, Is the loneliest number

admin | February 13, 2010

With the great incubation experiment over I can honestly say that I have learned a lot! After consulting with books, friends, and the guy at the feed store, I now know way more than I thought there was to know about hatching eggs. God knows it is best to have a [...]

The chicks

admin | February 8, 2010

Well, the chicks were supposed to hatch on friday. I had a very hard time achieving enough humidity. I was able to boost it a little and for a short time with small jars of boiling water to produce steam. I dreaded emptying the incubator so I put it off until after [...]

New Arrival

admin | February 7, 2010

We have two new additions to Heaven Scent Farm. We picked up our new goats on Saturday!
The one that has white on her is named Stitch. She is the more social of the two. She is still pretty scared but will take food from my hand now.
The other one that is all [...]

Fencing is almost complete

admin | February 3, 2010

The fencing is going up! The chickens are a little confused how some are on one side of the fence and some are on the other.

Well, the snow yesterday was too dry but as it began to melt a little today we were able to make it stick better to make a snowman.
This was the boys’ first snowman and the first snowman on the farm.
You know, it is not every snowman who can pull off ears and a sombrero.
Y’all [...]

Winter Wonderland

admin | January 31, 2010

We got that winter storm that was on the news but not as bad as we could have. We got about 4″ here in Robertson County. The snow started falling around 10 am Friday morning.
The fresh fallen snow is so beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t have anything scheduled to do on [...]

I was right!

admin | January 28, 2010

I was worried that the hens were laying in the woods. Well….I was right!
Sure enough. We found an egg yesterday and today in this location. I guess a kindling pile gives you enough protection.
Y’all come back now!

Best Dog in the World

admin | January 27, 2010

This is the best dog.
I have two roosters who are soon to leave this farm. My most pretty rooster, Adonis, has turned bad. He has taken to attacking the boys and this morning he went after me. Wonder Dog Bullet stepped in and saved my life. He started going after Adonis to [...]

Brooding Pen

admin | January 26, 2010

Joe and Mike were at the farm Saturday fixing my brooding pen. With eggs in the incubator I needed to get moving on the pen in the barn so we didn’t have them in the garage.
This is so cool because it is adaptable. There is a panel on the side closest to the [...]
