Bittersweet day at Nana’s House in the Woods. 🥹🐓🤍

Last week I mentioned that we’re selling the house and the birds, and in what feels like a true sign that we’re headed in the right direction and exactly where we’re meant to be, Sweet Hill Farm sent me a message 23 minutes later and told me she wanted ALL of my birds. 🤯

And she wasn’t joking. 🙃😂

So if you’ve ever wanted any of my birds or Eggies, hit her up! She’s carrying on my lines, which makes letting them go just a little bit easier. We’ve spent years working on some of these lines, and I’m so glad they’re staying together and going somewhere they’ll continue to be loved and worked with. ❤️

And y’all go give her a follow! Keep up with the birds, watch what she does with the lines from here, and of course hit her up when you need some pretty Eggies or new feathered babies. 🐣🥚 I know I’ll be stalking her page to keep tabs on all my former children. 🤣

In true Princess Myrtle fashion, all the other eleventy hundred birds are crammed in for the ride while she gets the entire front passenger seat to herself. 👑🐓😂 Would we expect anything less from Myrtle? We will definitely miss her the most.

It’s going to be awfully quiet around here over the next few days without hearing my roo-roos a-crowing, and I’m sure that part is going to sting a little. But I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to this chapter.

One big step closer to whatever comes next. 🤍

Well, in a turn of events I definitely didn’t see coming… WE’RE MOVING! 😂🏡

The house is going up for sale, and as long as everything goes according to plan we’re headed closer to the kiddos❤️

Which means the approximately 9,000 chickens have to go too. 🐓😂

Yep. ALL of them. 😭

This part is definitely bittersweet. We’ve spent years building some of these lines and creating the egg basket I wanted, with eggs in just about every color of the rainbow. 🌈🥚

So if you’ve ever messaged me wanting birds, now is your time. 😂 Basically the whole dang chicken operation is looking for new homes.

And if chickens aren’t your thing but you know someone looking for the perfect little homestead in the Manchester/New Union area, send them our way! 🏡❤️

Hit me up, chicken people. Apparently we’re liquidating the poultry empire. 😂🐓🌈

Gone are the days of precariously balancing chicken feed, garden treasures, eggs, and whatever else on the front of the four-wheeler. 😂

For the last three years, every spring before garden season starts, we say, “We really need to get a side-by-side.” Then garden season hits, we get ridiculously busy and don’t make the time to get it done, then by the end of summer, we’re saying, “Next year. We are DEFINITELY getting one next year.”

Well… three garden seasons later, we finally did it! 😂🙌

So excited for our newest little farm workhorse. I have a feeling we’re going to wonder why we waited so long. 🐓🥚🌽🪴

Something speckled this way comes… 🍂🥚

Speckled eggs, mums, and all things fall are my absolute favorite. 🤎🍁 The girls clearly understood the assignment.

I’m ready for crisp mornings, open windows, mums everywhere, and evening egg collection looking like this every day! 🐓🥚🧡

Now if Tennessee would just get the memo that it’s supposed to cool down, that’d be great. 😂

Fun farm day today! 🥚🐓💚

Got my first TWO Silverudd eggs today, and we had a little chickie mug-shot session in the olive pen. 😂📸

Finding new eggies might just be my favorite kind of farm day. There’s not much more exciting about checking a nest box and finding a color you’ve been waiting months to see! 💚🥚

And those first Silverudd eggs did not disappoint. 😍

Apparently I haven’t opened the farm page or posted since June 😬 I’d apologize and promise to do better, but we all know that would be a lie. I’m terrible at this whole social media thing 😂

But while I’ve been neglecting Facebook, this year’s pullets have finally started laying! 🥚 We’re getting an awesome range of greens, lots of speckles, and quite a few pretty pinks. 😍

Next up will be our Silverudd’s Blues from Fairy Ridge Farm. They’re 17 weeks old today and have started hanging out in the nest boxes, but no eggs yet. 👀

I can’t wait to see what those girls add to the basket! 💚

Been a hot minute since I’ve posted.

It’s Bonnaroo week, so it’s that time for daily storms in Tennessee . 😆🌧️

In other news, Sweet corn, blueberry mowing snackies, pretty eggs, and grass that won’t stop growing is what’s been going on around here.

This weeks Farm happenings 🌸

Sometimes I really do put all my eggs in one basket… 190 of them this time. Time got away from me and I wasn’t very good about sending eggs with the Husband this week, so this batch is getting boiled and fed back to the chickens. Circle of life farm edition 🥚🐓

The 2026 garden is finally planted. Now I’m just waiting on that first red mater. And cucumbers. And corn. Who am I kidding, I’m ready for it all! Garden meals ever’night🎉🍅🌽🥒

The mock orange is blooming and the whole front yard smells like honeysuckle . I swear it’s the best smelling thing I’ve ever planted. If it bloomed longer I’d have it planted everywhere and I’d never go inside 🤍

Picked up another Magnalite roaster from my junk girl for the collection. I only need a 2 quart and 3 quart saucepan to have a complete collection X’s TWO so both the boys can stop arguing over who gets what when I die 😆 If the girls decide they’re gonna like old cookware too, they need to decide soon so I can start on two more sets. If not, I guess they can all just fight over it when I’m dead. 🥴

ps… if you like my basket, have way too many chickens, and also enjoy putting all your eggs in one basket, my girl Shanna Caldwell can hook you up she had another one for sale yesterday 🧺🥚

It’s finally time for a test hatch out of the breeder pens 🙌🐣

First run using our new lines of
Black Copper Marans
Welsummers, and
Ameraucanas

* plus a dozen Welsummers from Cedar Hills Farmstead

I’ve had the pens separated long enough for a test run and I’m real curious to see how these BCMs lay next generation! I’m pushing for darker eggs and some of that heavy bloom we’ve been getting on a few of them 🤎

This is our last hatch before summer vacation ( i promised Em's Farm Sitting no babies in the brooder while she’s in charge😅) so…..if you’re needing chicks, now’s the time before I …SHUT… IT …DOWN …( until July 🤪)

Message me if you want on the list.

tell me—
are you after those deep dark eggs or the speckled ones? 👀
