The Feathered Journey
Once a bustling farm brimming with activity—from planting avocados to building houses for workers—a small yet transformative suggestion sparked a delightful chapter in its story. It began when Wilum proposed adding chickens to the homestead to make it more homely, an idea that I initially met with some hesitation due to the farm’s already demanding routines.
Despite my initial reluctance, I decided to take the leap, asking her mother-in-law to bless us with two chickens to get started. These feathered newcomers were housed temporarily, but inspiration struck during a visit to another farm, where I saw a beautiful granary and chicken coop. This led to plans for constructing their own coop, a project still underway, but one that filled me with anticipation.
As the farm’s flock grew, ducks and turkeys joined the cheerful chaos, adding vibrancy and life to the homestead. Managing this growing family of animals has been a unique challenge, but their presence has transformed the farm into a lively haven, offering a new kind of charm and joy.
