$80 from the 32 eggs!
Do you remember my post a while back about hatching some chicks to sell to help us buy new chickens in Alaska? Well that is how much we were able to get from them.
Things didn't go exactly as planned. We didn't get any silkie babies to sell. And one of the incubators got dropped and some good eggs didn't make it 😪
But as always, my Maticoopx did excellent with the hatch rates. 100 percent of the fertile eggs hatched in my favorite incubator!
Also, I didn't predict the chicken market to be so bad this year. Seems like everyone is selling chicks so I had to discount the babies just to get them into their new homes.
But we are still glad we did it. It was a lot of fun and the children really enjoyed it too!

Sourdough discard made a perfect side dish for our dinner today.
I used discard, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a handful of fiesta blend grated cheese and a handful of shredded parmasan cheese. Fried in Avacado oil.
It turned out amazing and the family loved it!

Puff Ball Mushroom season has started. Free food growing right in our lawn. They make a great fried mushroom snack!

My favorite eggs from a few of my favorite hens, before we sold them last week. Having to part with my chickens is the saddest part of closing down this homestead 😪
But, I have a couple breeders lined up in Alaska that I can get some dark egg layers and start new breeding projects when we get up there!
These green eggs are from my olive eggers and the red ones are from my Black Copper Marans.

First moving sale today! We made a day out of it and brought some things to town to sell. We live down a very steep long driveway so this made it easier for people to visit. It is almost 90°F (32°C) today and oh boy are we wishing we were already up north!

Broody momma with her babies waiting to be picked up and go to their new home. We enjoyed these guys while we had them. It definitely made it feel like spring around here with baby chicks running around 😊

6 weeks left before our move to Alaska!
This giant spinach has been cut back and harvested multuple times and it still keeps growing. Plenty to eat fresh and some to dehydrate and add to our greens powder. Our hands off little garden keeps chugging along and still produces lots of fresh food for us as we continue to prepare for the move.

Silkies last day on the homestead. 😪
We will miss these guys. They were my son Bradley's project. (with my help of course 😄) He is saving the money from them to start another silkie flock at our new homestead in Alaska.
We will have one broody silkie hen stay. She is currently sitting on some silkie eggs and she will go to another family with her babies once they hatch.
