~Our Faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ~

Why I'm blogging...

Welcome to our lives, our farm, and our family. Here is were we give you a view into our daily walk. I pray that it might encourage you while giving you a real life glance deeper into our lives. May we honor the Lord in all we do and say. My greatest hope is that anything you admire within our family points you right back to the Lord Jesus Christ and our love for HIM.

Miss M's wants a chicken!!!

Catchy title huh?  Well Miss M does want a chicken.  To be honest she wants LOTS of chickens.  She is starting a chicken business.  She hopes to sell eggs, chicks, and adult chickens.   Here is her GO FUND ME link if you would like to contribute to her efforts.  She is in charge of this start to finish although we are overseeing her efforts and giving advice.  Please read and share with your friends.  (we only ask that you do not use her first name on the internet).



HOWDY!   I am a 10 year girl who lives on an 80 acre farm in the central USA.   For awhile now I have tried to earn my own spending money with different ideas like babysitting, bake sales, lemonade stand, collecting cans, etc.  However most of my ideas won't work because we live too far from town for a girl my age. 


I needed a job that I would enjoy doing and make money at the same time.  My favorite things are cooking, crafting, animals, playing piano and my ukulele.  Because I have been raised on a farm around animals my parents suggested that I find something to do with farm animals. 


 After thinking it over I decided I would like to start a chicken business.   I will be selling adult chickens, chicks, and farm fresh eggs.  I chose chickens because they are useful for food, easy to handle, and I have helped with our family chickens and goats in the past.  



  My parents know this job will teach me responsibility and good character.  As a homeschooler, they want me to use this learning time to teach me about money, business, expenses, and diligence.
  

My dad and I have been making a list of what I will need to get set up.  We plan to spend about $1500  on adult chickens, a coop, feed, and fencing supplies.  We already have poultry netting to keep the birds safe from predators and an  incubator to start the next eggs hatching.  This will allow my business to  grow from day one.  


Thank you for helping me to start this business!!  It really means a lot that you are willing to support my dreams of being a business owner.

~~~Miss M reads music, but plays heavily by ear.  One of her favorite hymns is "Come thou fount of every blessing". She has been playing 4 years~~~


~~~With her profits from her Chickens, Miss M hopes to save enough money for a horse/pony of her own~~~  
                           Every 10 year old girl's dream!
