Not chicken related, but I wanted to share something a little different today! 🥰

I absolutely love being able to give back whenever I can. Our church is hosting a gala benefiting our local Women’s Hope Center, so I put together this “Rooted in Hope” basket to donate. ❤️

I filled it with several handmade goodies from my small shop, along with some cozy little extras that I thought any woman would enjoy. Each item was chosen with encouragement, faith, and a whole lot of love in mind. 🙏🏻

One of my favorite things about having a small business is being able to use it for things like this. 🥹❤️

And yes… when I’m not hanging with my chickens, I make things too. 🤣🐥

When we have broody mamas, we usually move them from the main coop to the barn so they can hatch and raise their babies somewhere a little safer. 🐣

Green Bean was starting to get a little antsy in the barn, so today I moved her and her babies back to the main coop now that they’re about 4 weeks old.

Apparently Mama was READY because she said, “Tonight, we roost!” 🤣😂

And just like that, the babies are getting their first lesson in big chicken life. 🥹🐥

Yesterday we lost this beautiful girl to a hawk. 🥺💔

And I’ll be honest… letting everyone back out today scares the crap out of me.

This is our second hawk attack, almost exactly a year after the first one. Considering my birds are outside enjoying their space every single day, I’m incredibly thankful these attacks have been rare. But when it happens, once is more than enough.

My first instinct today is to lock every single one of them inside the barn where I know they’re safe. Because after watching something like this happen, keeping them cooped up would definitely make me feel better.

But I don’t believe it would make them happier.

I’ve said it before and I still firmly believe it: chickens need to be able to chicken.

Mine love being outside. They scratch in the dirt, dust bathe, chase bugs, lay in the sunshine and spend their days doing all the weird little chicken things chickens were made to do. 😂 And I truly believe that freedom is important for both their physical health and their quality of life.

They aren’t completely unprotected. Their area is fenced, much of it has overhead netting, and they have lots of tree cover and places to hide. After yesterday, we’ll be adding even more protection and figuring out what else we can reasonably do to make their space safer.

But I also have to accept something I really don’t like:

I can reduce the risk. I can’t eliminate it.

I could probably reduce it even more by keeping them locked inside all day. But then I’d be taking away a huge part of the life I’ve intentionally chosen to give them because I’m afraid.

So as much as I want to bubble-wrap every damn chicken I own today 😭😂, I’m going to keep doing everything I reasonably can to protect them without taking away their ability to actually live like chickens.

Two hawk attacks in just over a year is two too many. 💔 But I also have a flock that has spent this year scratching, dust bathing, sunbathing, bug hunting and enjoying their days outside.

There’s a risk that comes with that freedom.

And even on a day when that risk feels especially scary, I still believe their happiness and quality of life are worth protecting too. ❤️🐔

The Silkie world has literally made people afraid to ask questions. And yall need to stop! 🙄

I can’t tell you how many posts I see that start with “please be nice,” “I’m new,” or “sorry if this is a stupid question.”

Why does anyone feel like they need to say that before asking a question about chickens?!

There is SO much to learn when it comes to Silkies. Colors, genetics, breeding, health, quality… and no matter how long you’ve been doing this, there’s always something else to learn.

But for some reason, there are people in the Silkie world who would rather make someone feel stupid than simply answer their question.

You can correct someone without being rude.

You can disagree with someone without talking down to them.

And you can know more than someone without making sure everyone in the room knows it. 🙄

I don’t care how long you’ve been breeding, how many shows you’ve won, how expensive your birds are, or how well known your name is. At some point, you didn’t know s**t either. 😂

You asked questions. You made mistakes. You learned from people who knew more than you.

So when someone new comes along and asks something you think they should already know, maybe remember that.

Having knowledge doesn’t make you better than the person who’s still learning. If anything, it gives you an opportunity to help them.

Grow up. Be nice. Share what you know. And get off your damn high horse. 🤣

🤪 Unpopular opinion of the day: NPIP edition.

I don’t think being NPIP carries quite as much weight as people sometimes give it.

Don’t come for me — I’m NPIP too. 😂

NPIP testing is absolutely valuable and tests for specific diseases that matter. BUT being NPIP does not mean someone has a completely disease-free flock.

There are other contagious illnesses — especially respiratory diseases like Mycoplasma — that can get into a flock, spread bird to bird, and potentially leave birds as carriers even when they look perfectly healthy. And those aren’t automatically ruled out just because someone says, “My flock is NPIP.”

Personally, when I’m buying birds, I care just as much (if not more 👀) about the breeder’s actual flock health, biosecurity practices, history of respiratory illness, and how they handle sick birds.

NPIP = an important piece of information.

NPIP ≠ a magical certificate saying every bird in the flock is healthy and disease-free. 🤪

Am I the only one who thinks people put a little too much weight on those four letters?
