AZ Farm Fam

My chickens love to pick the meat off of my ribeye and porterhouse steak bones. After they are done I leave the bones out in the hot Arizona sun for a month or so. When they become brittle I use a rock to smash them into pieces small enough for them to eat. The added protein and calcium makes for amazingly delicious eggs.

That feeling you get when you crack a lucky double yolk egg from your backyard chickens. 🥰🥚🍳

Just another day on the urban farm. Our new duckling rescues are taking a bath while the kids get ready for school brushing their hair and teeth.

I think our kids are getting superior nutrition from our farm over what's available in the store. What do you think?

We have 10 trees in our chicken run. I'm designing a food forest based off of the concepts of permaculture and regenerative farming. Based on our yard size, chickens will be the our main livestock incorporated into the design. Look at this girl expressing her true chicken nature by loving it up in this Mesquite tree. I have to say that in Phoenix when it's 115 degrees fahrenheit this is probably the coolest place in the run because while there's shade on the ground, there isn't as much air flow. Maybe once the trees are bigger and create a canopy we will see cooler moister ground temperatures.

The nesting boxes for the chicken coop are nearly finished. We love that the most rainbow colored doors draw the attention of adults and kids alike.

Say hi to Brownie. Brownie thinks it's a duck because it was rescued and brooded with 17 ducklings. Definitely not taking to water though.
