I’m Shocked How Many Didn’t Make It… We Lost 34 Chicks 💔- Homestead Rebuild Day 19

We weren’t expecting this… We spent almost $400 and ordered 50 birds from the hatchery, but only 16 survived. That means we lost 34 chicks, and honestly it’s been frustrating trying to figure out what went wrong. At the homestead, things don’t always go as planned, but we’re not stopping. We were introduced to Ideal Poultry and will be trying again with a new order, hoping for a much better outcome.

This is real homestead life—wins, losses, and everything in between. #homestead #homesteadrebuild #chickens #backyardchickens #hatchingeggs #farmlife #countrylife #puppies #raisingchickens
