We’re still waiting to get our chickens

2025/12/28 Edited to

Waiting for chickens to arrive can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience for anyone interested in backyard poultry. From my own experience, the waiting period is a great time to prepare the coop, gather necessary supplies such as feeders and waterers, and plan for the chickens’ diet and daily care. It’s important to choose the right breed based on your climate and purpose, whether for eggs, meat, or simply as pets. During the wait, I researched best practices for brooding and chick health to ensure a smooth transition when the chickens finally arrive. Additionally, dealing with shipment delays or coordinating with local hatcheries can test your patience, but staying organized and engaged with online poultry communities helped me feel supported. This period is also ideal to educate yourself about chicken behavior, predator protection, and common health issues. Preparing mentally and physically made the arrival of my chickens even more rewarding. Sharing this experience hopes to encourage others to embrace the process fully, making the wait part of the joy in raising backyard poultry.

This is ridiculous acting like this at work. If shit is going bad clock out and go home.

Still waiting for motivation? Babe… it’s not coming. We’re not in high school waiting for a sign from the universe — we’re building brands, making money, and showing up whether we feel like it or not. Discipline doesn’t care if you’re tired, over it, or in your ‘maybe later’ era. Pretty girls get u

The Day I Stopped Waiting & Started Becoming✨

I used to wait for the ‘right time’ to step into the woman I wanted to be. I kept telling myself, ‘Once I have more confidence, once I have everything together, once I feel ready…’ But the truth? I was never going to feel fully ready. One day, I had to decide to show up as her now—even if I wasn’t

The waiting season is not wasted time. It’s not God forgetting you. It’s not God ignoring you. It’s not God saying “no.” A lot of times, waiting is God saying, “I’m working on you while I’m working on it.” Because before God puts something into your hands, He often has to build something int
