Just a little blog to try and communicate what we are accomplishing here, and also what we are trying to accomplish. Not much, just a self-sustained life full of peace and love and all that other "hippy" nonsense. What we are looking for really, is just a better Happier world for our kids. Don't you want the same? We've been at this for a few months, so some of this will be catch-up, don't get bored or bitchy, just try and keep up. Peace and Love Y'all

New Baby Chick!!!!!

So we got a crappy incubator and we collected eggs from the chickens and the turkey and we bought some Muscovy ducks eggs from a man down the road to hatch, today was day 21 of the eggs being in the incubator and we woke up to a baby chick this morning. Yay!!! It is so dam cute. It has definitely been a challenge with this being the first time we have ever incubated eggs and being off grid. This thing sucks up some power and of course the weather hasn't seemed to cooperate with us at all, but I am sure that as soon as they all hatch the weather will be beautiful because we won't need the extra power. Anyway, we started off with 50 eggs now we are down to 30 after candling them a couple of times to see if anything was growing inside the egg. I definitely had to google how to do that, lol. Now the chickens are starting to hatch and we have 3 guinea eggs that should start to hatch soon too. The Turkeys and Ducks should take about another week and then we will see how many hatch altogether. Wish me luck.
