Some people say Ameraucanas lay the bluest eggs and other folks swear by Crested Cream Legbars.....but the bluest eggs I’ve ever seen have come from hardy mixed breed Easter Eggers

Celebration Weekend!
.
Happy birthday to this handsome man and soon Happy Father’s Day to him and all the amazing fathers out there!
The smiling man you see here holding this basket of potential life is the strong backbone of our farm and hatchery. Without him, every aspect of our farm would be an idea, not the realized dream it has become.
I have been thinking a lot about the power of healthy masculine energy. When a man is healthy of heart, mind and spirit he can guide and support his family and community in such meaningful ways. I am so fortunate to be married to one of these healthy men - he is a beacon of light, helping propel our mission of kind treatment of animals and respect for the earth forward.
Today, this weekend, and every day going forward I want to celebrate the good men in our lives. Thank YOU good men who are good leaders, who help shape our future generations, who love your families, who care for creation all around you. ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Sunday with these #EggEnvy rainbow gems from @newburyfarms
Don't forget to share your summer eggs with hosts @eggenvy and @highlandhomestead

Solstice Giveaway Who’s ready for backyard chickens?! To celebrate the solstice (which I am weirdly experiencing as the winter solstice here in Australia) I am hosting a special giveaway for @alchemistfarm ! The winner will receive a box of 15 chicks shipped of their various breeds that lay beautifully colored eggs. Sorry, U.S. entries only. This is a short giveaway (who likes to wait?!) entries must be received my midnight Saturday June 22nd and the winner will be announced Sunday June 23rd. The winner can schedule their box of chicks to ship anytime between now and September so there is plenty of time to warm up that brooder.
To enter :
1)Head on over to @alchemistfarm and give them a follow and make sure you are following me as well.
2) Under this post tag a friend who would like to keep beautiful and humanely raised backyard chickens.
3)Each friend tagged counts as an entry for you. One entry per line please. Multiple entries are allowed. Swipe to see one of my beautiful hens from Alchemist Farm which I raised last year from chick. I sought out Alchemist Farm for my chicks because they offer beautiful, humanely raised chicks. No male chicks are culled, they run the farm on 100% renewable energy and are almost completely waste-free with their packaging.
Today's eggs! We are in a bit of a lull right now. Only 16 today, when we usually get 20+. Between 7 broodies not laying again yet, a few molting, and the hot weather, we're coming up short! It's hard to keep up with demand as it is, but oh well! We have 9 girls about to start laying any day now - hurry up! ❤

Precious pullet! She's a Crested Cream Legbar and she's as sweet as can be. She doesn't approach me yet, but we're working on it. Treats and quiet cuddles will go a long way. All the CCL pullets are surprisingly calm and cuddly once held. This little bean was pretty much falling asleep by the time I was done taking pictures of her.

Feeling these sea foam colours today. This is an old photo I found on my phone from earlier this year, the shades I’m getting now are still beautiful but more pastel. Did you know that a chickens egg colour will always be much darker, bolder in the beginning of their cycle? Towards the end they will be paler, almost like a printer running out of toner. After they have their annual moult, it all starts again and we’ll be back to the glorious dark olives and sky blues we love so much. Happy Saturday!
