🐣 THEY’RE HERE!
Three weeks ago on Juneteenth we set 9 eggs in our incubator. Today I’m sharing the entire journey from setup to hatch day as we welcomed 3 new chicks to the Hicks Homestead.

🐣 The New Chicks Have Arrived! 🐣
After 21 days of waiting, watching, and praying over these eggs, we’re officially welcoming three new babies to the homestead! ❤️
This hatch taught us a lot. Not every egg made it, but we’re grateful for these little ones that did. They’re already eating, drinking, exploring, and keeping us entertained. 🥰
My daughters are so excited that they’re already talking about setting another batch of eggs in the incubator! 😂
Have you ever hatched chicks before? What are your best tips for raising healthy, happy chicks?
👇 Drop your advice and tell me what we should name these babies!

🍊✨ New video drops tomorrow morning!
Mr. Hicks and I cooked up something special for our eldest daughter’s birthday — Navel Orange Sirloin Burgers with Pineapple BBQ Baked Beans and a garden-fresh arugula salad.
It’s cozy, real, and made straight from the heart.
