Eggs 🪺
What a beautiful sight! Our chickens are laying again and this was our first full harvest .. aren’t they beautiful?
.
We have gone from 1/2 a day to over 5 a day! Praise God! What a blessing❤️
New Chicks 🐓
Our chicken flock just grew by three more littles 🐣🐓
.
We had planned to get all leghorns but then decided to get this sweet Ameraucana that we named brownie ❤️
.
Sadly we ended up losing Brownie this week as well as one of the leghorns . So hard to lose these little ones and was our first time losing chicks and this was our fourth batch .
.
But there was a sweet reminder in talking to the littles about it this week as we processed through it as a family . In the Bible , we are told that not a sparrow falls to the ground that our Father in heaven doesn’t know about and even with these two little chicks , God knows them ❤️ and the scripture goes on to tell us of how much more our Father in heaven loves us.
.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:29-31 ESV
Harvesting Leeks
We harvested leeks from our garden this weekend and to say I was overjoyed is an understatement! We have tried to grow them before with no results and then this years harvest was amazing!
.
We were able to fill the freezer with chopped leeks to add to one of our favorite soups .. leek and potato.. Yumm!
.
The part of the leek that is generally harvested is the white bulb part, but that left all the leaves and so I wanted to know if I could use those .
.
I was happy to find out they can be used to make stock and there are several recipes where they roasted them. We chose to try adding them to stock.
