Seeing this sweet girl sitting on the eggs I tucke

Seeing this sweet girl sitting on the eggs I tucked under her just warms my heart right up! We don’t have a rooster, and this is the third time she has gone broody in as many months, so instead of chicken jail…she gets some fertilized eggs from my friend @actonfoodforest to hatch!

I put them under her a week ago, so two more weeks of sitting and then (hopefully!) we will have some chicks for her. 🥹🐣

New 2024 goal unlocked: attracting a murder of crows as my own personal chicken guardians. Seeing them chase a pesky hawk off recently was a thing of wonder and now I have a special whistle that I do when I see crows and out treats out for them 🥹🐦‍⬛

🍔big mac salad🍔
- heaping portion of greens — cabbage, kale, lettuce, whatever you have!
- sliced cherry tomatoes
- pickles! So many pickles. @famousdaves or @grillospickles are my faves
- diced red onion
- burger patty of your choice — beef, turkey, veggie, whatever your heart and belly desire
- grated cheddar cheese

For the dressing measure with your heart some mayo, relish, and ketchup. I’ve also done this with Greek yogurt but was in a mayo mood ya know?? Especially @kewpieusa!!

Ugh it’s just so delicious and filling and I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a Big Mac (not bc I’m anti-McDonald’s but I was always a filet o’ fish girl personally!) but it reminds me of it so much.

I also don’t talk about this much but with both pregnancies I’ve lost 60 lbs after each kid, and big filling salads like this have been so key for that!

Obviously I’ll be making this with homegrown veggies this summer but until then, I’m using whatever I have from the store 🛒

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say! Or

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say! Or in our case, the recurring broody chicken gets the fertilized eggs. This is her third time going broody since December, and she only started laying last October — she’s one persistent, determined, and stubborn lady. Takes one to know one 😆

I thought about putting day old chicks under her, but opportunity knocked AKA my friend @actonfoodforest has a rooster and gave me some eggs…so we shall see what happens! She is SO happy to not be in broody jail and have me reaching under her grabbing her clutch of eggs she sits on.

I put 12 under her, because we aren’t sure about some of them — but this could escalate quickly. I’ll report back in 3 weeks 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
