A heartfelt thanks to the publishers at
Backyard Poultry magazine. If you take a peek inside their April/May issue ("The Joyful Sound of Spring: A Delightful Peep" page 24) you'll find our story of how 6 little chicks came to live at Windy Meadows Farm!
Now, a year later, six happy hens are more fun that we thought possible...and it's all thanks
to a little nudging by our kids.
I hope you have the chance to read the article, along with the rest of Backyard Poultry...
if you're new to backyard chickens, or even if you've been enjoying them for years, you'll find the pages filled with lots of terrific information!
Oh thats awesome ! I will see if I can get the article on line ! Congrats thats great ! Have a wonderful day !
ReplyDeleteThanks Country Gal...it's fun to see our story out there! Hope it's a good day in country cove!
DeleteThis is great for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny...it's really been great for the kids to see the chicks grow and then to give us the treat of daily eggs! I have to admit, I love them as much as the kids...now to talk hubby into a couple pygmy goats and maybe a dairy cow! (I think I could handle a mini Jersey...will keep you posted!)
ReplyDeleteWell hi there, so happy to find your comment on my newest posting. I loved learning about you and if I can find a copy of Backyard Poultry I'll learn even more.
ReplyDeleteAll simple pleasures to you,

Sharon, it's so nice of you to stop by and visit. Your garden inspirations are felt here on the farm...just a few days ago the kids asked if we were planning another sunflower house and pizza patch!
DeleteThank you for popping by...you have a lovely space here. Wow , an 1864 farmhouse. I thought my home was old..
ReplyDeleteA happy day to you
Warm regards

Suzanne, thanks for visiting from so far away...I know as the heat of summer comes, I'll enjoy hearing about the cooler activities where you are! Old farmhouses are great...even with their uneven floors, crooked doorways, and scary, old cellars (ours has 6 trees holding it up...wish I knew the original story!) They do have a character all their own. The work feels non-stop, but it's nice knowing we're helping to hold onto a part of history. -Mary
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! Heading for the magazine rack tonight after work for a peek!
ReplyDeleteAh, shucks, Ma'am...you're too kind, Kris! Get yourself some chickens while you're out and about...you won't be sorry! -Mary
DeleteCongrats, looking forward to reading this! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Andrea...the girls really have been such fun this past year. Although I admit, I'm in need of some new egg recipes! -Mary
