I stumbled upon this book the other day while visiting the local library with my daughter.

Its been a whirlwind week here at Colored Egg Homestead (as usual.) Here is a recap of what has been happening around the homestead.
The Olive Egg babies hatched!

Here are some of the babies at almost a week old. They're so sweet. There are two who are not pictured because they are being loved on by the kids. <3
Milk & Honey Bread Recipe
To me, there is nothing better than a slice of fresh warm bread right out of the oven. Here is a simple Milk & Honey bread machine recipe that I enjoy.
Incubator Update: HATCH DAY!!
The babies have hatched! It was amazing to watch them all slowly emerge from their shell. Here are some photos from the hatch. Enjoy!!
Incubator Update: Day 18 - LOCKDOWN
Today is day 18 of 21 of our hatch. Today we will turn the eggs one last time, increase humidity, close the lid and wish the babies luck on their quest to reach this side of the shell. The next time we open the incubator there will be chicks!

A Blog-Warming Party & Giveaway
This all started when I created The Colored Egg Homestead Facebook page back in February of this year. I created the page for two reasons:
1. I tend to be pretty chatty and picture happy and was beginning to worry that my friends and family would grow tired of hearing me go on and on about chickens and posting garden pictures and my eggs in their newsfeed.
2. I was starting to receive friend requests and messages on my regular profile from strangers who were interested about my chickens, eggs and garden and/or had seen me in various homesteading forums and groups online.
The Colored Egg Homestead Facebook page grew exponentially within just a short period of time.

Incubator Update: Day 14
Here is what has been happening inside the shell this week:
Preserving Your Summer Harvest
The summer growing season is in full swing and fresh delicious produce is abundant from our gardens, local produce stands and farmers markets right now. With a little planning and forethought we can carry these delicious summer flavors with us into the upcoming winter months.
Incubator Update - Day 7
Waiting is the hardest part. Today is day 7 since we placed the eggs in the incubator. I have been hand turning several times per day. You can't tell by looking at them but so much has changed in just one short week.
Here's a little info on what has happened inside the shell this week:
Lavender Lemonade
Happy August! Its hot outside! Chill out with a refreshing glass of fresh made lemonade. For this recipe I used lavender but you can easily switch it up and add another herb or fruit of your choice. Such a simple basic recipe.
