This week was one of those REAL, day-by-day ranch weeks where we’re balancing what’s happening inside the house with all the action outside—plus a little chaos thrown in. We started off with Preston’s birthday, the boys finally wrapping up their week at the Tulsa Chili Bowl, and me feeling like I’m fighting a sinus infection. On top of that, we’re watching the weather like a hawk because we had tornado warnings and then a hard cold snap rolling in (and that wind… ridiculous). It’s just Oklahoma life. On the ranch side, I’m in full chick season mode—packing hatching egg orders, collecting eggs, checking fertility, and keeping the hatchers going because we hatch every single week. I also show you the reality of running a hatchery out of a small house: eggs on the counter, brooders in different spots, and a system that works even if it isn’t “Pinterest perfect.” We had move-out day for my IG grow-outs (I hate putting them outside in winter, but we caught a warm day), plus a chick pickup with a pretty rainbow assortment. And of course we’ve got new baby lambs on the ground—including twins—so we’re checking mamas, feeding, and soaking up those sweet new-baby moments. We end the week cozy by the fire… and yes, I still get excited over fluffy chicks every single hatch.
