They peep before they pop!

Here is a factoid for you... baby ducks start peeping in their shells before they pop out!

Our momma duck, Dash, is sitting on 5 lovely eggs. This morning I picked her up off her nest and took her outside so she could stretch her wings. When I went back to cover up the eggs to keep them warm while she was gone... I heard peeping! Its amazing! Sometimes it takes a while for the baby ducks to hatch all the way out but by tomorrow there will be little ones running around.

What fall looks like




Welcome to The Sowers Farm!











I am Amy Sowers. My husband is Allen Sowers. We farm. Not big commercial farming, just enough for us.

We have chickens and ducks and geese and turkeys and pigs and goats and guinea hens. And this is what fall looks like.
