Today is a big day at Luna Chick Farms, and an even bigger one for me personally. ❤️
One flock has already gone to its new home, and in just a couple of hours, the other two flocks and the rest of the birds I’ve decided to rehome will be leaving too.
I knew this day was coming. I chose it. I planned for it. And somehow that doesn’t make watching them leave any easier.
The Black Copper Marans pictured here have really been the heart of my operation for years. They were also the birds I had the strongest relationship with, as evidenced by their complete disregard for personal space. 😂 Some of these exact birds are leaving today, and saying goodbye to this flock in particular is going to be hard.
I’ve spent years building these flocks. Years selecting, hatching, raising, improving and pouring a whole lot of myself into what I have here. Ironically, some of the birds leaving today are also some of the biggest money makers on the farm. That probably sounds a little backwards, but this decision was never just about what makes the most money. It’s about making room for what comes next.
And I think that’s what today really is.
It’s hard to say goodbye to yesterday, but you can’t say hello to tomorrow without being willing to let go of some things along the way.
I’m grateful for what I’ve built. I’m proud of it. I’m sad to see parts of it go. I’m nervous about what’s next, and at the same time, I’m genuinely excited to make the leap toward what I’ve spent the last few years working to build.
Luna Chick Farms is NOT closing. ❤️
It’s changing.
It’ll be a little smaller, a little different and hopefully a lot more manageable. I’m keeping the pieces that still make sense for my life while also making room for another dream we’ve been working toward, George’s Dead End Taxidermy. Apparently I have a thing for hobbies that turn into businesses and require entirely too much work. 😂
So today is bittersweet. There are definitely some goodbyes happening around here.
But there are also some pretty exciting hellos coming. ❤️
Here’s to the next chapter.
