A broody hen in October is apparently all the convincing I need. 😂

Will this be a brilliant decision or one of those ‘what was I thinking?’ moments? Only time will tell.
Would you let her hatch a late-season batch, or would you break the broodiness? ⬇️

A TINY BUCKET… for TINY EGGS?! 🥹🥚🪣❤️

Found this little cutie at Tractor Supply for FREE and knew it was meant for my tiny pullet eggs! 😂🐓

Because apparently, even my tiny eggs need their own special tiny bucket. 🤣❤️

Thank you Lord for showing me this beautiful sunrise and reminding me all that I have to be thankful for. ☀️

I have ONE HOUR to clean the chicken coop. 😂🐓

Forget a relaxing nap-time routine. It’s not uncommon to race the clock; trying to get one thing checked off the never-ending to-do list.

Supervisor 1 did not let me down. This was the first time he’s asked to help me. His words, “mom, I like cleaning the coop with you.”

I plan to show him this when he’s 16. 😂

Fellow chicken moms… what’s YOUR nap-time project?

Real peace begins with contentment, even if things feel out of your control or messy.

Maybe the secret to a better morning routine is just getting outside, slowing down, and taking care of the little things, including yourself. ☕️❤️

Welcome to my little corner of the internet 🐔☕️💗

Around here, we talk chickens, a wee bit of homesteading, & the beautiful chaos of raising little humans😂.

Expect colorful eggs, real life mom moments, chicken shenanigans, and a reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be good.

If you’re a chicken loving, nostalgia-filled mama who’s just trying to figure it all out as you go… hit follow. I have a feeling we’re going to get along just fine. 🫶🏼

I’ve done a 180 with this page, and honestly? I’m okay with it. ❤️

I’ve learned A LOT since starting this journey in May.

I’ve been called a newbie who knows nothing. I’ve answered questions, helped buyers work through situations, and had more conversations about chicken keeping than I can count. I’ve spent hours sharing what I know, and trying to be a good resource for people who are actually new to chicken keeping.

And then I was lied to. Used. And honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around how easily some people can do that. I’m not soft, but I’m human.

Honesty and integrity are big things for me. When those are missing, I’m okay walking away, even when it hurts.

After putting so much trust and genuine effort into this community, I’ve come away feeling a little burned.

Then I started seeing more of the drama that seems to follow the chicken world online, and I realized something: that’s not what I want this space to be about.

I got into chickens because I love them. I love the learning, the surprises, the beautiful eggs, the ridiculous personalities, and the stories that come with raising them. I love sharing what I learn and helping others along the way.

So that’s where I’m going back to.

More storytelling. More general chicken education. More honest, unfiltered chicken-keeping REALITY. More motherhood, homesteading, funny moments, lessons learned, and the things that make this life what it is.

I’m still working toward NPIP certification because I still want to share my eggs with you. That goal hasn’t changed.

But I’m learning that I don’t have to build this page around selling eggs or fitting into a particular corner of the chicken community.

I can build it around what I genuinely love, what I have to share, and who I am.

This page might look different from what I originally planned, but maybe that’s the point.

I’m not giving up on chickens. I’m just finding my way back to the reason I started. 🐔❤️

Welcome to the next chapter of The Red Shed.

If you’ve read this far, I appreciate you. I see you. ❤️
