Hycottage Farmstead is always buzzing with activity.

 

Whether we are waiting for chicks to hatch, milking, feeding goats, or checking new baby bunnies, there is always something to keep us busy. Farming offers so many learning opportunities. Each project builds on another and adds to our encyclopedia of experience. Scroll through to see a little more about life on the farmstead.

 

 
Eggs hatching, chicks brooding, hens laying, roosters crowing, we have had many chicken projects on the farm.
