when they say they do it for themselves.

Chicken math is cute, but it isn’t really practical for everyone. Egg rainbows make pretty pictures….but ya can’t eat an instagram square for breakfast. Sure out here we can own 40 hens and by free ranging or pasturing we are able to limit our costs. That simply isn’t the case for everyone. Maybe you live in an hoa with a cap on hen counts, maybe you don’t need so many eggs, perhaps your budget just doesn’t allow you to own 40 laying hens at a time. That’s okay! Here are some real life suggestions on how to keep it simple, live within the confines of your budget, space, and regulations. Forget about the egg rainbow. We’ve always thought that was silly anyway. Mamaw didn’t care what color her eggs were, you shouldn’t either. Pick a breed based on your weather and needs. Not all hens are meant for the frigid cold winters of way up north and others don’t fare well in Florida. Some lay pretty eggs but only around 100-150 a year versus the not colorful 300 of another. Egg rainbows might make a pretty square but Instagram squares aren’t edible yall. Focus less on the aesthetic and more on the function. Don’t worry about the bragging rights of owning dozens. Instead think practically and purposefully, choose what fits your actual needs. Do nothing for the gram. . . . . . . . #forthegram #chickenmath #chickensofinstagram #layinghens #hens #hensofinstagram #practicalwisdom #wisdom #purposefulliving #purposeful #reallife #folkcore #cottagecore #gardencore #simpliving #slowfashion #simpleandstill #recipes #recipe #f52grams #f52community #easyrecipes #quickrecipes #recipeshare #recipeideas #oldfashionedonpurpose #homesteadmama #homesteadmamas #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmama https://www.instagram.com/p/Cno06Z-uyV6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When a foot forward became apt ‘coz your other leg was badly bruised. 🤕 Yeah, a swanky pose could do double-duty sometimes. 😎 10yrs and I can’t fathom why I’ve never been to this spot until last week.🖤 #forthegram #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust 🇸🇬 (at Fullerton Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiT11JkhSKQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I appreciate your patience with me while I’m trying to capture that perfect “shot”🥰 . . . . . . Reposted from @triciaericksonhair I may have you bend and tilt ways you never thought you could🤪😂but hey, the results are worth it, right! And if I don’t take a before, run out of time for an after, or do them both and the pic is still blurry😩that’s ok. Or if you don’t want any photos taken of your hair I respect that choice, too👍🏽 #forthegram #hairphotoshoot #triciaericksonhair #olaplextreatment #redkenobsessed (at Kalla Lily Salon and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaTO7LOruGi/?utm_medium=tumblr
