It still feels surreal that these are my mornings. 🥹

For those who are new here..

I signed on this home last year, and just two weeks later, I lost my dad to su***de. This property became more than just land…it became a place where I could work through my grief in a tangible way.

We’re now coming up on the one-year anniversary of moving here, and also the anniversary of my dad’s passing. On top of that, I recently lost my nana. So, to say the emotions have been heavy is an understatement.

I’ve been in foster care. I’ve been homeless. I’ve been caught in things I had no business being in. Statistically, I’m not supposed to be here; sitting on the lawn of my own home. But I am. And I’m grateful for every single day I get to call this place mine.

When I say I’ve poured my heart and soul into this homestead, I mean it. And I couldn’t have done it without my husband, his hands have built what my heart has dreamed.

This isn’t just a house. It’s healing. It’s growth. It’s proof that even when life breaks you down, beauty can still rise from the cracks.

Ever seen this chalky film on an egg?
It’s called a stress bloom!

Nope, it’s not dirt. Not mold. Not magic.
It’s actually your hen’s body putting down EXTRA calcium because she got a little stressed (heat, loud noise, predator scare, or just laying back-to-back).

Fun fact: stress blooms = bonus protection on the shell.
Totally safe. Totally natural.
And every one is a reminder your hens are little warriors.

Want some speckled blues??

Happy hatch day 🐣
These beautiful blues are from Legbars under my homozygous ICB rooster, so that offspring will lay speckled blue ✨ you’d never believe that this is part cream legbar huh?!

🌿✨ Big News from Flour Child Homestead ✨🌿

I’m excited to introduce the start of my very first Angelina Frost eggs! These (along with others) are going in to the incubator.

These will be a cross between a Marans (famous for deep, chocolate-brown eggs) and a Frost Legbar (known for bright blue eggs). Both only from the best lines locally.

👉 This first cross is called an F1 Olive Egger. Since it’s the beginning generation, the chicks that hatch from these eggs will grow up to lay either green or brown eggs — depending on which parent’s genetics they take after. 🍫💚

This is just the start of building a unique flock here at Flour Child Homestead, and I can’t wait to see the beautiful variety of eggs they’ll bring to the basket! 🫶🏻

✨ STILL AVAILABLE ✨

Willing to trade or barter also! These are going to make some pretty lines. Cheaper to buy and incubate than me raise them til they’re pullets and then sell them!
