Last night I made some soap out of melt n pour. I’m happy with starting out with melt n pour. With number 5 ( my two year old) wanting to help with everything it would be hard to do cold press soap right now. When hes older I plan on doing cold press but for now at lest I can have fun with my hobby. This batch of soap I made is shea butter with activated charcoal with the fragrance black raspberry vanilla! It smells so good I can’t wait to try it out! I got eight bars out of the small loaf mold. 😁🖤

Last night I got to go have dinner wih one of my best friends who I haven’t seen in over a year! We still text each other almost every day but I missed seeing her in person very much!! I probably talked her ear off, she and I have a few of the same goals that we want to accomplish. It was nice to talk with someone who understands and has that same passion. There are very few people who will let you sit there and talk about chickens or other animals with you over and over again, most are dismissive. We also share photos but instead of showing photos of our kids to each other .. that’s right you guessed it….we showed our chickens/Turkeys and dream animal breeds we would like to get in the future. I’m very excited that we are going to try to get together at lest once a month. 🖤😍 #blessedtohaveherasoneofmybestfriends #hadalotoffun #dinner #bff #missedher #hobby #backyarding #chickens #quail #trukeys #talking.

Cleaning is something that never ends. Today I cleaned out the brooders. Number five wanted nothing more than to help me out in his own two year old way. Which anyone knows that when they are “helping” in their way means more work for mom. After the brooders were rinsed out he ran inside. I thought he was finally bored and was going to give up on his part of “helping” me. He came back out with rag! He started drying the brooders with me. Mom win! Lol😂😂😂 He was so proud of himself. #hobby #backyarding #kids #toddlerhelping #toddler #whentoddlershelptheymeanwell #whentoddlershelpmomishappyandsad #brooders #cleaning

I give my quails and girls (chickens) oysters shells, they need calcium for the shells of the eggs. For the longest time I toyed around with the idea of giving them back the shells of their eggs. My first thought when this idea was introduced to me was … I don’t want to make an ” egg eater” that’s when the chickens egg their eggs sometimes they do this because they are missing something from their diet (some also think making an “egg eater is a myth) other times they might just be a dork. Doing more research on this I found that if you wash the egg shells first, letting the egg shells dry out, the breaking them up on to a baking sheet and baking for 10 mins at 250 degrees makes them easier to crush up into small bits. Some might tell you that they do this to kill bacteria and they might even bake them for longer time than what I do. I’m not worried about bacteria.

I got my first fairy egg! I love that most of the quail are laying in the nesting box. Normally it is an egg hunt every day. I opened the nesting box and there it was just chilling with the other eggs.

I had to get photos of it😂😂

We did open it, the kids wanted to see if there was anything inside. I wanted to blow it out and save it but that wasn’t going to work. Only thing in it was just the egg white ( also called albumen or the glair/glaire) my kids were hoping for a tiny yolk😂 #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #chickens #quail #eggs #food #extraeggs #pleasefollow #fairyegg #firstone

The power is out where I live. Right before I was going to start cooking dinner too! At least I don’t have any chicks this time around 😂😂😂. On the other cool part I get to test out my new quail egg candles that I made. I wanted to wait until I had them set up and in a pretty holder but mother nature had other ideas. 😂😂.

I’ve been dabbling in lots of different projects but one that I have finished was making a pillow. The first photo is the front of the pillow.

I decided to use different fabrics for the front and back of this pillow. I do need to work more on my ladder stitch… but I don’t think it turned out too bad! #hobby #backyarding #sew #pillow #ladderstitch #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #ladderstitichcanbehard

Where I live we got a good amount of snow. It was beautiful to see all the snow.

But the girls (chickens) weren’t so happy about it. They are in their nesting boxes. When I opened it to check on them they clucking.

I gave them some snow.. they weren’t impressed 😂😂😂. Talk about a cold shoulder ha ha 😂😂 #mygirls #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyouforreading #hobby #backyarding #chickens #snow #cold #atlesttheywentintothenestingboxtosleepsmartgirls #nosnowforyou #notimpressed

My husband asked if I would make some deviled eggs.

I made some out of quail eggs ( some of these eggs my daughter ate some before I had a chance to get them deviled 😂) and chicken eggs.

As you can see my presentation is not pretty😂😂 but you can see the difference in size for the quail eggs vs chicken eggs. #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #eggs #food #dontneedtobeprettyforalatenightsnack #snack #backyarding #mygirls #quail #cuteandsmall #coturnix #celadongene #mydaughteratesome #chickens #mydaughteratesomeofmysnackforafterherandhersiblingsgotobed #littlepigs

Today I was cleaning out my girls ( chickens) water containers. I stopped to let them air dry a little bit. Looked in to see Bella giving me this look and being noisy!

So can you bug your chickens? The answer is yes you can. 😂😂😂 When I laugh at her then she goes all silent and serious on me.

😂😂😂 I think she is plotting something 😂😂. #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #chickens #chook #fluffybutts #chickensarefun #Bella #pleasefollow #shedoesntwantmetocleanthingsoutrightnow #ohwell #cleanchickenisahappychicken #mombackyardlife
