Short video of our 3 home-hatched chickens (we added 4 more pullets to the group a couple days later) #chickens #pullets #simplehomeandhearth #homesteading

I have an update on our chicken saga. Out of 6 eggs we gave our broody hen, 1 she broke early on, 4 hatched, but she crushed one of them, and 1 didn’t hatch. So we were left with 3 beautiful chicks, all healthy. 50% success rate, same as last year (only with more eggs). Also, we are unsure if those three are hens or roosters - basically a straight run. So today, hubby took the afternoon off and came home with 4 Australorp pullets. We kept them warm in the greenhouse until this evening when mama hen was calm and ready for bed. We quietly put them in with her and the other 3 babies, and she adopted them as smoothly as warm butter on bread! Checked a few minutes later, and all 4 pullets we bought today, were comfortably resting under their new mama! YAY!! #chickens #pullets #simplehomeandhearth #homesteading

Went and put down a deposit on our very first greenhouse! Woot Woot! So excited! (8’ x 12’). Delivery will be the first week of March. Hope it’s not too late to start seedlings in it then (zone 6b) #growyourownfood #simplehomeandhearth #greenhouse

I am in the process of uploading many of my videos that have been sitting, gathering dust, on another platform. I love the ease in which Brighteon allows uploads, and have gotten more views in just 48 hours than all the other video platforms combined! Here we go! #HomeSteading #simplehomeandhearth https://www.brighteon.com/channels/simplehome
