No or low egg homemade breakfast ideas: surviving the 2025 egg crisis
Everyone knows about the egg shortage of 2025. Stores either don’t have many eggs, or the eggs they do have are way more expensive than before. I purchased a few baby chicks and ducklings last year. I ended up with three hens, one rooster, and two female ducks (I had a male that I gave…

The Food and Plastic Anxieties that Surround us
I have always been into fitness, healthy lifestyle and doing what’s good for the planet (Earth day is basically my favorite holiday after Christmas).

Poultry Saga

How My Journey Started
I’ve dreamed of living on a farm since I was a little girl. I wanted to have a pig farm, where I imagined myself just having pigs as pets. This fantasy was probably brought about by reading Babe and Charlotte’s Web in elementary school. As I got older, I wanted to move to Montana to…
