Can we even talk about the animals on our farms/homesteads without recognizing some of our greatest companions?!  This week, we introduce dogs and cats; how we got started, what we have now, the crazy stories our kits & pups have done...they are quite entertaining.  

Send us photos of your dogs and cats!  They REALLY are a part of the family.  

We had some listeners send us some chick questions to answer after our month of all things chicks.  GREAT QUESTIONS!  Then, we rolled right into what we had going on around the farm/house.  

Next month, it's cats & dogs!  Woot woot!

Hatching & Incubating are two things we've not really dived into yet on the podcast.  Lianna does this professional!  So join us as we navigate through the incubators to get & why hatching is another viable option to growing your flock.  

You've had these birds and something is NOT RIGHT.  Take 30 minutes to listen and see what are some common ailments you may be experiencing in your flock.  From mites & works to owls & muskrats.  We try to cover the bases on all things that could mess with the integrity of your flock.  

Did you know we've chatted about this before?  Ep 2 :: FAQs, FYIs & XYZs

You really can never have too much info when it comes to tending to your flock.  

*It's the most WONDERFUL times of the year!* It's almost CHICK SEASON!  Are you ready??  We are re-visiting chicks because.... well, they're one of our favorite things to talk about.  We each tell 3 things every beginner needs to know AND we talk about our first chickens!  Here's the link to our first episode we did as well ::

Episode 1 :: Chicken Math

Do you have any chicken questions for Lindsay & Lianna!  We are going to do a CHICKEN Q&A on our last episode if we get any, so send them our way!

It's the DRAG CHICK of all our poultry conversations!  The last bird on one of our crazy farms that we haven't covered.  Peacocks deserve an episode all their own!  I mean come on... have you seen their tail feathers?!  

We cover from egg to maturity & lay out what they require and what to expect.  

We've chatted about chickens, ducks, geese... we gobble, I MEAN dabbled in turkey.  So, today we are diving in to all things GAMEBIRDS!  Turkeys, guineas, pheasants & quail.  Great for their eggs & their meat.  If you're looking to level UP from your chickens, here's the episode that will help!

We are chatting about DUCKS & GEESE!  

We cover the basics over each & explain how they differ from chickens.  Listen along... AND SHARE YOUR WISDOM!  

We need your help. :) 

We Chose the Farm :: Episode 24-Interview with Jill; Advanced Beekeeping & Queen Reproduction

THIS EPISODE IS EPIC!  Now, I will say that she touches on MANY advanced bee keeping techniques & she talks LOTS about her part of the job about queen production (It's sooo interesting!), but if you have bees you will learn SO MUCH! 

This is a LONG one, but one that you MUST save in your back pocket when the time comes you need to trouble shoot your own hive!

Jill is owner of Honeybee Menagerie where she produces nucs & queens.  Check out her stuff on social, but don't be offended if you can't purchase something from her... SHE'S SO BUSY!  We were lucky to get an interview!
