Categories: Chicken Keeping, Reflections on Farm Life
My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

Oh how sweet. I can almost feel their downy feathers. Are you very busy with all these little guys?

Thank you, Deborah! They’re little fluff balls. Yes, fairly busy keeping their food and water clean and full as well as monitoring regularly to make sure they’re thriving. I’m mostly having fun! 🙂

The pastures are starting to get a green hue, the days are becoming warmer, and baby chicks have arrived. I think Spring may be just around the corner. 🙂

I can’t wait! We lost all but one of our chickens (15) to a fox last fall. It was terrible! We had them for about five years. We’ve been using store bought eggs occasionally, but they’re not the same.
