Our productive little lot of land, chicken coop, fire pit, recreation area, wooded natural trail and We have a few amenities and plan to add more.

Family learning to become cost effective and self sufficient. Health issues and concerns has inspired us to taken control of our food source. We started raising chickens for the eggs to provide our most important nutrient, protein and to provide us some bartering power. We have a beautiful home and near an acre of land that we call our own and want to make the most of it. We want to meet others that share this passion and want to share our beautiful acre with those that enjoy nature and activities we do. We love to entertain and help others plan and hold events, and want to use our acre for these events. Call us and come visit.

We have new additions to the crew on the Acre...
12 new hens came to us last night.

They are different breeds for us, we will post more as we research them.

For the safety of our other chickens we are housing them separate for a little while. They are acclimating to the new house well. They seem to like our auto feeders.

The 3 dark pictures and one with a bright light and 1 beak peering out were from last night, it was so dark we all just wanted to get in and go to bed so they were gathered up together, they did check out the run before going in the house then peeking out to make sure their friends were coming in.

We had a big family workday on the Acre.

Procrastinating clean up and repairs to the shed/chicken feed storage shack. Dot A Wiggins gave it a Uniquely Organized and Utilized organizing makeover to get things moved to be utilized. Categorizing the items to sort and arrange things better.

She is a big recycler and shares items that can be repurposed or upcycled. She is donating the water resistant feed bags she saw people using to create purses and totebags.

She responds to posts of others trying to reduce waste going to the landfills and facilitating donations, several items got stuck here and are getting one last effort to rehome them before we hire a trash hauler.

Charles L Wiggins and Brittany purchased and built a new chicken coop to replace the one that rotted into a dilapidated mess. It is such a joy to watch them building their life together and work together accomplishing mutual goals.

Yesterday was a true "circle of life" day here on the farm. First, we mourned a death of one of our hens and then we were jumping for joy we found a chirping chic under it'd momma who is brooding 6 eggs... we could not get in too close but looks like the chic might just have hatched today or a day or so ago.

TODAY, we got to see momma training the chic how to dig for food and watch the little white fluffy chic run and explore the pen area.

We prepared a separate hit for momma, chic and Potential eggs in a repurposed dog house our friends gave us from their furnished new home. And another celebration is these will be our son. Jr. Chicken Rancher @ Charles L Wiggins and his fiance' Brittany's first chickens for their future home after there upcoming marriage spring of 2025.

We were blessed with Brittany's father coming to help make a door with vent holes for the new coop. That is specially decorated to Brittany's liking.

~♡~ Enjoy the photos.... stay tuned thing move fast these days and we try to appreciate the time and opportunities to grow together and care for each other to honor of little plot of life lessons.

Saturday marks 1 week on the Acre for the 3 Easter Eggers. They have gotten use to their play place coop, the unfazled gray one learned how to escape and started mingling earlier this week.

The other hens and roosters are quite inquiring about the new ones and we will be incorporating them tonight.

We really enjoy our chickens, each one has a unique characteristic and personality. Excited to start collecting the Easter egger eggs soon.

Exciting day in the coop.

We acquire 3 Easter Egger hens, 2 are frizzled.

The other chickens are free ranging and stopping by there isolated area to check them out.

We enjoy our varied lot.

We also went down the nature trail and checked on my mother's day berry patch and I harvested a handful of small blackberries.

There is a sense of security raising gardens, fruit and chickens that lay eggs...

We are blessed!
