I really just feel like giving up! I’m not running a big operation over here. We have a few silkies and a few bantam EE fun pen. I then have the rabbits.

I have had MULTIPLE missed pregnancies from my does. I haven’t had a litter since July! No one is taking!

Then I got a new incubator, just checked eggs that are just a few days out from hatching and half the eggs have died. Check my Grove thermometer and this thing is all over the place! I think I’m returning it! PST… it’s a Matticoopx!

At this point, the constant disappointment is just becoming too much.

I also lost my favorite girl Tulip. She was stunning and everyone loved her. My heart is shattered and I’m about ready to fold.

RIP sweet girl! I miss you! 😢

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to update you on where I see the future of this page going.

When I first started, I was working on Splash Calico silkies. I made my calico using SOP pure colored birds and they had a certain look. I was very proud of them and wanted to share them with everyone. I put a lot of time and love into that color. However, if you have ever worked with Calico, you realize it’s a hard project.This spring I dissolved the pen. I felt 1 step forward lead to 2 steps back. Life was very hard. My FIL had a stroke, my oldest was graduating HS while dealing with AMPS and POTS all while homeschooling and such.

But somehow, I got a lot of rabbits 🤷🏻‍♀️ rabbit math is real 😆 The rabbits aren’t as easy as everyone thinks either! Rabbits don’t produce like rabbits! I have multiple missed litters. This month I should have 6 litters due but I’ll be lucky to have 1 litter.

Then one day everything felt good and I started to add the birds again! I tripled my silkies in 2 days! Had a calico project going again, had chocolates and Millie’s. Then my yard flooded during a storm, our gas grill went flying and our cars constantly need repaired.

So… life has been LIFING!

I’m NOT doing calico again. I now have a fun pen of silkies with Millie’s and calicos together. I’m going to be downsizing the rabbits soon.

I’ve decided I’m no longer shipping eggs/chicks.
I’ll be offering AFFORDABLE fun chicks. Silkies and bantam EE’s. I’ll offer eggs locally as well.

The chicken world is getting extremely out of control with their prices and I think it’s important to make things affordable again.
