We are a family of five living in a small rural community in the mountains. We garden, farm, and homeschool. Our life is chaotic with all of our animals and such but family time is very important to us. So at the end of the day we always find time to hang out. We will use this site to journal and share our adventures!

Springtime Brings Baby Chicks

Around 25 days ago I put 8 eggs under one chicken and I put 7 eggs under another chicken.  Then a couple days ago I found one wet soggy chick and for the next day or two I went out every hour and checked for baby chicks.  After a while I had 4 baby chicks and the other 3 eggs did not hatch so we had to compost them.

Since we had baby chicks we had to name them.  We decided to name them after one of our favorite movies, Ice Age the MeltDown.  So our first chick was named Peaches, our second was named Shelly, the third was named Yolky, and the fourth chick was named Eggbert.--Hailey
