Life.

Life is full of challenges, accomplishments, hardships and sunny days. After a long break from the blog I will start posting again. :)

Pictures of Around the Farm.

Freckles and Sander

Just an update on Freckles and Sander. Both are doing well, Sander is really turn a VERY light brown... but still not white, whereas Freckles is all white with a few small black speckles on her feathers.....

The Egg Question

Everyone uses eggs. Everyone needs eggs. Eggs are a huge part of cooking, and of life itself. An average Extra Large store bought egg contains;  80 calories, 6 grams of Fat, 7 grams of protien, Vitamin A, and C, Calcium, and Iron. All things considered this is a very healthy food item. Now, The average TRUE free range fresh egg, of the same size contains,  1/3 less cholesterol, 1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more Vitamin A, 2 times more Omega-3 acids, 3 times more vitamin E, 6 times more Vitamin D, and 7 times more beta carotene! So, Why NOT get local fresh free range eggs? 

New Chicks

Well Went out this morning to find the chicks hatched !

Fall Jumping!

Last week, we had family in from out of town, so we went and decided to visit a few of the falls and do some cliff jumping! We visited the middle pool at the Raymonskill falls, and a locals only spot on the Delaware river!

Broody Hen

We have had a Broody hen sitting on 3 eggs for 11 days now! Last night we went out and candled the eggs, and all 3 of them have little embryos! You could see them kicking around, and swimming. ADORABLE! 10 more days until chick pictures =]
