Not wanting to take someone’s place in the contest, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how you and your beautiful family take such good care of your farm animals! Respect for the food farmers grow is so important! ❤😊
Wow, thank you
I would absolutely LOVE to attend the festival. I’m in Michigan, but I’d make the drive just to be able to meet you Ruthann!! I had placed orders for 120 meat birds and also some laying hens, ducks and turkeys from Murray back in December for this year. I had to cancel everything because my husband decided he wanted a divorce January 28. The divorce is going as planned, I’m getting a house built on property that I bought years ago, but I still have to deal with building new fences and a barn for my livestock that I have. God is getting me through this and I’m going to be stronger in the end. Enjoy your baby chicks!! I’m enjoying my baby piglets that were born this week 🐷🧡 Lorie 😊
So sorry. ❤️🙏
May the Lord be your guiding light and provider 🙏🏻
May God bless you.
I’m in Michigan too.
I’m so sorry you’re having to start over. Praying for you that you will find peace in your new place ❤🎉 hugs
God Almighty is with you. You will see that you are doubled blessed. Much love from Grandma Linda in Martinsburg WV. 🙏🙏🙏💕💞💓
I love my Saturday morning visit to your homestead. It makes me smile & sets my day for calm & peace. And I love learning. I always come away feeling like as I advance in my journey, I'll have some knowledge to push me forward.
As usual, God bless you, your family & homestead. And may God continue to bless your hands at everything you set them to do.
I loved it when the chicks were all asleep and you said “Good morning “ and they all jump up, so cute ❤
Yes. It’s my favorite part!!!
I appreciate your honesty about not enjoying the chicken raising and processing - and the reality of the breed vs the amount of work. thank you!
I would love to win the ticket because my mom and dad, sister and brother in law, and my husband and I purchased 40 acres in 2022 to begin living differently for our kids. We want to live together and teach our kids about the land, the animals, the garden, and how living differently can give you freedom from the rat race of life. We want to slow down and experience life instead of just living day to day in the monotony of what society tells us it has to be like. This is how I grew up learning from my grandma and I want to pass that along to my children. I have learned so much from your channel and we love Murray McMurray!!
Congratulations!!! You are the winner!!!!
Please email me At RuthEdoodleZ@gmail.com asap!!!
We live in WI and would love to make the drive to the festival! We started our homesteading journey as a newly formed family 2.5 years ago. My 2 big kids lost their mom in 2020 and this lifestyle has been part of their healing journey as long as my husband’s healing. We are really starting to gain some momentum now as I had a baby in March 2023 and my husband is a police sergeant. For about a year m we weren’t able to put as much energy into the homestead as we wanted. I feel so excited to raise my children in this lifestyle and continue to learn to see heaven come to earth through this little piece of land that God has given us!
I love watching the smiles on your children's faces when interacting with the animals. I learn something from every one of your videos! You are a great teacher (and i know... I'm a teacher!)
Aren't we so blessed to have this great teacher Ruth Ann in our lives?!
Please, please film the processing of the birds and the growth and development of them along the way. Looking forward to seeing the whole process. So sweet to see rambunctious little boys being so gentle with those adorable chick's. Great job raising your kids!
Yes. We will film and show!!
@@Ruthannzimm Also please show the tractor that you make for them. My husband and I have been trying to figure out how to build one and we were thinking about something similar to what you are building.
@@Ruthannzimm I know you only showed clips from the build, but will the large openings keep them safe? Everyone keeps telling me I have to use 1/4" hardware cloth and it's EXPENSIVE!!!
Oh, and how many meat chickens to one tractor? You don't have to answer here ... Just hoping for info in the video next week 😊.
I have some friends who, in the last couple of years, have started their own homestead. They have 4 boys, one of whom is married now, and they work so hard at their jobs and then at their farm. They have a built, a greenhouse, a chicken coop, have started selling eggs, and now are selling at our local Farmer's Market. Getting a chance to go and listen to homesteading speakers and learning so much more about living off of the land would mean so much to them.
Maxwell really is a natural with the animals. He looks the happiest then.
Yes
I have been watching you and your sweet family for three years now. You’ve guided me through gardening tips, sourdough, animal husbandry, canning, etc. we moved from city life in So Calif to Nevada mountain living for 12 years and now, in my later years, the farmlands of NW Montana. I now have 35 meat birds and a large coop of laying hens with some roosters in the mix. I would love seeing the animal science of a large hatchery. I’ve learned so much just from CZcams but to see it live would be a real blessing and treat. I’d make it to Iowa no matter what I had to do. I’d especially love to hear your speaking presentation as well as the other speakers there! ❤
Your joy shines through on every video. I wish I had enough space to raise my own protein.
Love our chickens!!! Homegrown is so much better then store bought. We only have a little over an acre, but we bought a couple of bottle lambs, hair sheep, and hope to breed for lamb meat. People think we are crazy, but that is ok!!! We love it!
My body was so tense "helping" that last baby bird make the big jump into the barn! Best isometric exercise ever - ha!
Right?!
I know what you mean.
@@Ruthannzimm It did make for an intense moment!
Am I the only one who feels that I'm that little bird watching others make it while I keep struggling, and then I'm always the last one? lol
@@riverduck3you just have to get your "flap and grab" coordinated with your lunge forward. Ive been working on my "flap and grab" for a while now and still dont have it right. 😊
Such a natural and beautiful way to teach family about food. I’ve been raising more or less 100 meat birds for many yrs too. The last several years I have been starting them the way Harvey usery teaches with an electrolyte drink of honey vinegar garlic etc in their first water . And he suggests first food to be boiled eggs. I have been able to skip the medicated food with this method.
Ruth, Such a well made video with all the beautiful new farm life .
I am with you when it comes to processing, it’s my least favourite chore of the year. But I premake frozen pizza for the day and invite people that want to learn and the time goes a little faster.
My husband and I look forward to visiting with your family every week. We have gotten our layers from Murray McMurray Hatchery for several years. Now that we have retired this will be our first year raising meat birds! We have 30 chicks now and would LOVE to visit the hatchery for more!!
Thank you RuthAnn for all your insight and advise. P.S. My husband says meeting you and all the speakers would be worth a trip from NC.
I miss going to NC to visit my relatives there. My grandmother lived in W. Cramerton, and the rest of my family were in Lowell, McAdenvile, and the Gastonia are. NC is where my heart travels many times.
I love Ruthann’s channel
I’m an “old”country girl and was reared on a farm in WNC mountains ⛰️ 👋
so I’m very comfortable in her world. She brings back a lot of precious memories of growing up on the farm 🫶❤️
My husband and I have been working on our homestead for 6 years now and your videos each week as well as other speakers attending the Murray Fest have been life savors for us and have kept us going. It would be a dream come true to get to actually meet you all in person. We are surrounded by large monocropping farmers and would love to be around some like-minded people and learn all that we can. We are only 3.5 hours away, so it is totally doable to come to the Fest and bring our children, they would love to get to pick out their own little chicks. Thank you for this opportunity.
Oh my, what a dream to meet all my gardening/homesteading idols ❤ I’ve been watching Charles Dowding for many many years, he is a treasure!!!!
It has been a joy to watch some of you newer CZcams’rs gain such popularity in such a short time, it’s a blessing that y’all have chosen to share your skills !!!!
For those who have never raised their own meat birds, I can promise you, it’s the best chicken you will ever eat !!!
I just love watching your kids enjoy farm life ❤❤❤
I remember helping my grandparents on their farm with the chickens. Brings back great memories for me.
This is my first year with my own homestead. I would love to go to Murray fest as all of the people that got me to this point will be there and what an exciting way to honor that.
Don’t the boys get attached to the chickens? They are so loving to all animals. Love the program ❤
U.K. here 😊😊 from Murray’s to Tummy’s. Couldn’t get fresher. How wonderful to be able to pick. 😊😊
Maxwell has such a tender heart--especially for the farm animals. He is aways gentle and encouraging. I see him in vet school or animal science at ISU!
I always say the very same thing. And he has the biggest smile when he is holding them 🥰
I agree! And i know if that is his destiny, God will show the way!
Agreed!
Love seeing the boys loving on the animals 💙💙💙. Sweet little chicks and baby calf. Have a very nice weekend!
Showing my grandkids all the things and helping them learn why we are doing all of this, learning from all of the speakers, connecting with other like minded people. I'd also love to see Roy Feek perform, I lost my wife to cancer as well.
Brings back memories of getting new baby chicks each spring! McMurray Fest and VIP ticket would be a great field trip for a family! Springtime fun! 😊
I'm hoping that your sweet family remains safe after yesterday's terrible storms! It would be a comfort to see even a short post from you to let your supporters know that you all survived. Your family is in my prayers.
I would love to get the VIP ticket! My husband and I have had chickens for probably 20+ years and he has finally branched out to a few different breeds! The grandkids are showing in 4-H now, so choosing breeds for them to have would be a blast! We’ve just been married 40 years last month!
I have layers and have seriously been considering doing a round of meat birds myself. I would love to see the chicken tractor progress so I can show Hubby and get him on board! Great to see the children with the animals!
I would LOVE to tour a hatchery & meet all the wonderful people I follow on CZcams ❣️🙏
Thank You for sharing your skills & knowledge. I just don't know how you have time for all the things you do.
I have been raising chickens for several years now & they are the easiest to care for. Although my chickens are mix breeds I still love having them. My whole family (6) benefits from them although my children are all grown now I have 7 grandchildren from my 3 oldest children ages 23 years down to 4 months.
Thank You & May our ALMIGHTY continue to Bless you & yours❣️🙏
Yes I would love to attend as my first fest experience. To be able to listen and learn from people with such a wealth of experience would be well worth every minute spent there. I am only a few years into building our homestead and it would be amazing to be around people, in person, who value this knowledge.
I would love to win the ticket as I have recently started my homesteading journey. I have purchased property and was able to put my parents in a home there so they could retire. They have been in the ministry for their whole lives and didn’t have anything. My mother broke my heart when she moved into their new home saying, “I never imagined our final years would be so happy!” We have chickens for eggs and some small gardens. I would like to learn how from the speakers and keep old traditions and knowledge alive for the next generation. I continue to watch and learn from your channel and am always so encouraged by your testimony. God is good all the time!
I miss my farm. Watching your handsome young gentlemen handle those chicks with tender loving care is so awesome.
❤🙏
What a fantastic opportunity! You are such a calm, knowledgable and effective teacher. We got our hens locally, but it was a Murry McMurray baby chick booth at a recent event that motivated my youngest to ask repeatedly for chickens. We have a few laying hens, including a few black Jersey giants for later processing, but I’m not looking forward to that day at all. I’m glad that others like you share that you raise meat birds yet still struggle with processing day. As my children are learning: It IS important to learn how to take care of your family, including doing necessary chores you really don’t like doing.
I’d love to meet you and so many of those speakers as well as other attendees. Touring the hatchery would also be great!
I love your channel!
My husband is retired a poultry veterinarian DVM MPVM. This new hybrid poultry is not good meat. These rapid growing birds all develop with connective tissue disorders called “ woody breast”. I have been off chicken for 8 years now because every store only carries this chicken meat. Chicken was my favorite meat. We’re going to grow out our own birds so we can get our meat from the less used stock.
I also had three dream all on seperate occasions where the Lord pointed down to a chicken and said “ unclean”. Then I began to research why the grainy, ropy,flavorless meat was all that was sold in stores.
Just hearing of the devastation in Iowa with tornados today. Please let us know you and your family are OK! 🙏🙏🙏
Your joy and excitement in this video is contagious and I love the extras you add/keep that show the personalities of the boys. I live in southeast Missouri and it looks like it’s an 8 hour drive. We have 1.5 acres so large animals are not an option. I have been following your advice and recipes. I no long buy bread or yogurt and am getting ready to make my first farm cheese, thanks to you. You said master one thing at a time and that’s the best advice anyone has ever given me regarding homesteading, thank you! I can’t wait to learn about this through your videos. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge freely!
I'm from Southern Iowa and I would love to attend the festival. We had to donate our chickens to a family when my husband got very sick with an infection. He is now almost recovered and we would love to restart the flock.
We have been stewing over the pros and cons of raising meat chickens for about a year. I am beyond excited to watch your process, especially happy to see your chicken tractor design next week! A few weeks ago I helped out a friend butchering a few of her excess/more aggressive chickens...my first time doing that! So proud of myself! We have a perfect little patch of land that would work for a chicken tractor to be moved around in. So...can't wait! As always, I enjoy your weekly update and learning from you. Please do not add me to the drawing for the Murray Fest. I would love to attend, but the timing is not good for us to make the trip from Ohio to Iowa at that time. Blessings, Marie
That stock tank is sheer genius! We have raised 24 chicks one time, but it was an interesting experience. I do not travel, even across the state of Washington, but I hope that the event will be well-attended and very beneficial - - that is very special.
The goslings! oh, my goodness! I didn't think they would make it ... persistence did pay off!
I would love to attend the Murray festival. I am a fourth generation farmer's daughter that continues to engage in most of the practices that you do daily. When my children were being homeschooled thirty plus years ago, we did many of the activities that you do daily with your children. We were pioneers in the now popular home schooling movement. Cornish Cross chickens have been our chickens of choice. Now, my children are continuing to demonstrate those skills taught to them so many years ago. All of them can great quantities of meat and vegetables, as well as raising their own meat products. Bless you for your ability to educate so many!
That’s awesome!!!
My 12 year old daughter inspired me to get chickens. Because she pushed me we now have 3. Loving every minute of it and would love to get into it more and take her somewhere to also inspire her. A tour of hatchery would be amazing. Thank you for all you do! Love this channel ❤️
I have always used Murray McMurray hatchery. Great customer service and have never had a problem with receiving my meat chicks, or any of my other flock birds.
How fun to pick your own chicks. And what a great group of speakers! This will be our first year with meat birds. Cant wait!!! Thank you for all your fantastic information!!
Ruth Ann. Lots of people lqst year switched. Now they are going back to Cornish Cross God Bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️ ❤️
My first experience with chickens was with McMurray chicks! My friend lived on a farm and was going to start raising chicks and I went to the post office with her to pick them up! We came home and got them all set up and I've been hooked ever since!
3 sweet boys. I know you are proud of all your children!
God is good ALL the time! I wanted to say that first. I would enjoy going to the festival just to be able to experience the hatchery side of things. Also, for the knowledge of the speakers, we are new at homesteading and truly believe that this could not be possible without people like you. Thank you for making the videos of all of the things it takes to be self-sufficient. May God bless you and your family abundantly!
I love chickens. Little children get excited to handle them. They are definitely worth the trouble to raise.
My older kids used to raise cornish cross birds for our family and friends. I never had anything to do with it but now my younger kids want to give it a try and I know very little about it. Thank you for taking the time to teach us!
You are such an inspiration! We are just starting out with becoming more self-sufficient. We have had laying chickens and a garden for fresh eating for years but, by watching your videos (as well as many of those who are listed in the vip pass), I have learned so much that we are finally investing our time and money into becoming more self-sufficient- I started canning last year and plan to do more this year! And we are now putting up fence for dairy goats, cows, and meat chickens!! You really are an inspiration, Ruthann!
All those Babies, so cute. I was cheering the little Ducks as they kept trying to get over the door jamb. Great information you shared.
It would be so wonderful to win such a fantastic prize but unfortunately I live too far away in Cape Breton, Canada. I would love to meet you RuthAnn and also Rory Feek,wow how awesome, love his music and I love your videos. Gods love shines through your eyes and work! May He bless you and your family even more !
Your channel has become the highlight of our family’s Saturday morning! I’d love to have the chance to handpick my own birds for the kiddos!
Love the round trough you're using for the brooder! We use either a long metal trough or a pet tent I got on Amazon as brooders. I would totally drive to Iowa from Georgia. I have ordered from Murray McMurray before but several died in transit because the postal service here kept shipping them between Macon and Peachtree City. It took 4 days to get our chicks and 5 to get our turkeys. We just stopped mail order and bought our own incubators. I'm just happy that we still have a breeding pair of turkeys, Americaunas and Barred Rocks.
Great video, you put raising protein into perspective for me. We raise a big garden and have about 130 laying hens. We need to try meat birds. I would love to attend this event. I think so many other people are more deserving and in more need than husband and myself. I appreciate all you do to bring all you knowledge and valuable skills to us all. I have learned so much from you! I so appreciate you and your sweet family. Blessings to you always.❤
WOW, That's a lot of great speakers. I follow many of those channels. I would love to go to the hatchery and see all the birds and learn about the different birds. I have thought about raising meat birds but don't know enough to feel ready. I'm watching people like you and as Jess says, "Turn your waiting room, into a classroom". I'm trying. Thanks for ALL you teach us!!!!
I absolutely love Rory Feek. We have laying hens and would really like to learn about meat birds and raise our own. I have not been to a festival and would love it! I enjoy your videos. We have 11 grandchildren, and meat birds would be a blessing for all of us.
I am from Michigan and raising egg chickens for the first time . have a greater appreciation of what that entails now and the joy it gives me watching them and carrying . They are free ranged and help me in many ways. have thought about raising meat chixs as well and been a little nervous about it . This video was so informative and helpful . Would love to visit the festival and learn more . Thank you for your time , effort, and wanting to teach others.
I would love to win the ticket to get to meet so many of the people that I watch regularly.
This will be the third year that we will raise our own chickens for the freezer and also have a steer processed. We are slowly but surely with the help of God, getting our place set up for us two 60 something’s to homestead. ❤
Oh WOW! This is fantastic. My parents were homesteaders but by the time I came along they were done and moved to the city. Now I'm getting into it for myself. My parents are now gone and I dont have them as a resource for knowledge, so everything I have learned is from some of the speakers including you that will be there. I would LOVE to be able to talk to them. I have so many questions still. People come to me for advice because I implement what I have learned from you all, but I tell them to go check out those channels because that's where I get my knowledge. Homesteading for me is my therapy. Will each speaker be recorded for those that might not be able to make it? What a fantastc prize this would be to win.
Thank you for putting up this video Ruth. I unfortunately can not enter your competition as I live in Australia, but I am very grateful to have learned so much from you. I have been toying with the idea of meat chickens for the past month or so as I refuse to purchase meat from a supermarket and buying organic is quite expensive. I think you have sold me. I have a big feed trough like yours too, so that is sorted, just got to source some meat chick's in Queensland.
Thank you for all you share. I have learned so much from watching you.
God bless 🙏
It would be such an honor to attend the festival and get to meet you and all the other wonderful mentors. Our next step in homesteading is learning to raise meat chickens! 😊
I would love to win tickets to the Murray Fest Midwest. We are moving from Montana to Mississippi to start a small homestead. Chickens are the first thing on my list of animals to get and I can't wait to have them again. It would be a blessing to meet the speakers at the conference and a double blessing to have chickens from Murrays! Thank you for all of your videos. I am learning so much!
I can't help but grin at that kid in the back grinning at us!!
First, I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE your channel. Always learning from you. What an amazing opportunity!!! We just bought 20 acres in MO to begin our homesteading journey. The Murray Festival would be such a great way to kick it off! It would be great to meet you ❤
Ohhhh God bless you!!!
I awoke to two dogs sitting at my chicken tractor with a dead chicken they were guarding. The dogs had ripped the chicken wire entered and killed all 21. 2 weeks away from harvesting. I cried. Would be a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet and tour and pick new chicks. God bless.
I would love to go to have the tour and meet you and Jess. This is just not my year for it. Praying fornext year. I've been putting a lot of time, money, and sweat into my urban homestead. Nice to see so many fellow Michiganders. 😊 I enjoyed seeing all the chicks with your children.
My wife and I enjoy watching your videos and learning from you. We are new to the homestead journey and we are planning on attending Murray Fest but a VIP ticket is a stretch for our budget. I would love for my wife to be able to visit the hatchery because she has never experienced anything like that before. Thanks God is good!
Oh the chicks you got from Murray’s are so beautiful 🤩 my husband and I are new homesteaders! Thank you for sharing these great tips for meat birds! What a blessing you and your family are to so many!! We would love the opportunity to “shop” at Murray’s! 🎉
Would love to visit McMurray but I live in lower Alabama. One consideration on raising meat birds for folks that live in warmer climates. It might be a good idea to raise your meat birds in the fall rather than the summer so that when you get to butchering your animals,
You aren’t dealing with 100 degree temps and lots of flies and bugs. Thanks for your lovely videos!!! I look forward to them every Saturday💗
I loved watching and listening to the ducks coming and going. Thanks for letting us hear their quiet sounds.
Murrary McMurray has the best chicks! I have gotten baby birds from them in the past and they are always healthy and beautiful!
Oh, I'm SO with you on the meat birds. I do broilers for exactly the same reason. When its time, I'm SO ready for them to go to our Amish butcher. We also raise turkeys and I am always sad to see the turkeys go. I LOVE their calls and calmness. Their little purrs. I shoot to have a full chicken in the freezer for each week of the year, but this year we have had much more success finding turkeys. Broilers have been quite elusive!
I love your videos. You are an amazing teacher. Caring for ones family and providing food is such valuable knowledge (a lost art almost). Thank you for sharing. It would be a blessing to finally meet you, and attend the festival. And of course one would need to buy more chicks, lol. Chicken math is real!! God bless❤
Attending the festival would be an incredible opportunity! We love McMurray, would be so great to support them and meet you and all the other homesteaders and farmers speaking! The possibility to tour and see their facilities is exciting. Thank you for all you do!
I love seeing the boys loving on the chicks from Philadelphia
I would love to win the ticket for my grandson and his wife. They live in Davenport Iowa. They have started a homestead. They plant a big garden and do a lot of canning. They have a dream of raising chickens. This would be a dream come true for them.
Wow!! Several of the MurrayFest speakers are who I’ve followed for years and have inspired me to build my homestead! Charles Dowding is the very first CZcams channel I followed. He made it look so easy to garden that I thought, “I can do this”. I would drive the 18 hours to see all y’all! 🤣
That is awesome!
This would be fabulous for us! Please consider us for this opportunity. We are in the process of finding the right chicks to suit our needs!
Great video Ruthann, great advise for the chickens. Your sons are getting tall, they are such good helpers. I love the instruction, and direction Alvin is showing the boys while he is building the chicken tractor. Young minds absorb the information. Their love for their farm animals is so obvious. Great job. God is good.❤
This would be an opportunity of a lifetime! We have 8 layer chickens and would love to add meat birds.
I would love to win! I'm in Iowa, Cedar Rapids area! My almost 7yr old daughter and I would be insanely excited and blessed to be able to go to this and learn all we can! We raise chickens for eggs and meat every year. I run an in home daycare that revolves around our backyard chickens called 'The Hen's Nest' I'm a true mother Hen!! We would love this opportunity!
I would love to have a VIP Ticket. I would like to learn more, I am just retired and would love to learn how to grow my own food, growing potatoes, onions, and chickens. I lived with my grandmother who lived to be 105. Out of 38 grandchildren, I was number 35 and learned how to cook fried chicken, canned tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, and canned green beans, apples, and peaches. My husband grew up in south dakota on a dairy farm. He tells me I am just a city girl. He is right. However, learning new things keeps me young, and is healthier. I do watch your u tubes, on a weekly basis, and enjoy them very much
Hello from VA. I really enjoy your channel. We are only allowed to have six chickens where we live. Mine are egg layers and pets. We lost our first one, who we think ate a mushroom that just appeared in the run one day. It was sad for us because they are handraised and extremely sweet, act more like puppies than chickens. We now have a new baby Chocolate Orpington to enjoy. Take care!
If you don’t have a red feeder you can use a half of an egg carton
I wish I wasnt all the way on the northeast & couldnt go... I have just started raising laying birds, 5 wks old today!!!!
Would love to attend the event. Learn as much as possible, trying to become self-sufficient. As well 6 several health issues. This is the best way
Praying that the family that is in the greatest need be the one that wins. I live in a housing complex in the middle of the city. I enjoy watching you and the family. Many blessings for your family from West Virginia.
Oh my goodness it looks like young Mr Kendrick has grown about a foot taller since the last video! All your little boys are getting big where does the time go I would love to win the Murray Fest ticket and would love to just donate it back to you to give out at your discretion if I were to be picked. As much as I'd love to I just can't physically make a trip like that but I certainly love watching all of your videos and your homesteading and your wonderful lessons that you teach every week. I look forward to your new offerings every week and I'm so happy to say you never disappoint! Thank you so very much and God bless you and your beautiful family ❤️
Thank you!!!!!
Ruthann I would love to win the ticket for Murray’s Festival. I am 70yrs old and live in a suburb of Cincinnati. I would very much love to win that ticket. Thank you for your videos. Your children are beautiful!
Oh Ruthanne! It would be wonderful to come to the festival and meet you in person! We will see what God has in mind. Whoever wins will truly be blessed! Love watching the Muscovy ducks... they have special meaning for me! Blessings on your family and growing homestead! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿💚
What a wonderful opportunity! Great speakers!! I would love to just lay down and cuddle with the chicks. I've ordered my meat birds but seeing so many people that I recognize, watch, and really have learned so much from. Charles Dowding!! Between the two of you, I don't know who I would want to squeeze first. 😂😂
Praying you all are safe from the tornadoes. Know you have a basement… post soon to let us know you are all ok!!!🙏🏻🥰
We are still new to homesteading and we plan to add chickens to our farm. We already have a coop ready to build. 🐥
I 100% agree with you raising meat birds I want a short productive season and be done! Their messy!
There are two reasons I would like to attend. The first is to learn and meet you and Jess from Roots & Refuge! Secondly, we purchase chicks every year and lose about half of them.... maybe we can finally figure out why this happens!
Hello RuthAnn and sweet family!
The McMurry Festival would be a wonderful opportunity, but unfortunately I live in Tennessee and too far away.
I really enjoyed the children’s excitement over the chicks.
You have a wealth of knowledge in homesteading. You should be a speaker too at the festival.
Rory Feek is such a wonderful and Godly man. I have enjoyed many years of his beautiful music him and his lovely wife sang.
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
I would love to attend the festival! I am in Wisconsin. We love raising our own chickens for meat. Didn't get any this year, so I would love to go pick out chicks! Thank you! Many Blessings :)
