Road to Creedmoor

Today we processed our two smallest roosters (keeping Chicken-Licken). It was our first time doing it, but it was pretty easy.  Warning: Explicit pictures, we culled roosters This is me putting it into the cone to start the process.  After it bled out, we dipped it into hot water and plucked all the feathers out by hand, gutted it and cleaned it again. And that's what we are going to have for dinner tonight 🍽 

Last night, Mom took the night off for her birthday so Scotty, Dad and I got to make dinner and we made hamburgers with homemade brioche buns and fries. They turned out pretty good.  And I got to stand on the pool today 🤪 It's slowly getting warmer and we should be having rain and warmer temperatures soon!

Happy Birthday to Mom! Today we just hung out around the property and went out to sushi for lunch. We were going to stay home and cook but Scotty offered to make breakfast and... Anyway we are going to make dinner tonight, we'll post that tomorrow.  The whole pond was almost completely frozen over this morning!  And the ice on the buckets was this thick! Yep happy birthday to Mom! 🎉 

The ice on the pool was about 1 ½ inches thick. (Of course I tried to stand on it 😏, it did break after a few seconds though) I don't know if you can see it, but it's really  thick.  And the shore of the pond was frozen too!  This is the sunset from the back deck around dinner time.  And here's a bonus picture of the ducks sleeping after they went swimming in the afternoon!

Hey guys! Our offical farm webiste is now live, here's the all new Cancello Farms website where we (mainly Mom) will be posting recipes, upcoming events and more.  But don't worry! I'm still going to be doing Road to Creedmoor and all those updates will be on here to! 😄 Cancellofarms.com Oh and on a side note, the ice was this thick this morning! Have a great day!

16° tonight? 39° at the high for tomorrow.  (Don't worry Violet it's warmer in the summer 😂) But yes, it is getting really cold no snow yet and not for a while, but its getting there!  Our pond is still super full and overflowed. Thanks for reading! Enjoy the cold weather because you'll miss it in the summer😄

It's only been two days and we're expecting another huge storm tonight. We should be having wind gusts up to 45 mph and heavy rain and thunder till 2pm.  Dad's concerned since the ground is still soaked and he thinks that trees will start uprooting. And Mom thinks we will loose power. But whatever happens, we will be ready!  (Bonus picture!) The ducks were playing all around the yard and just eating the mud for no reason at all😄 Thats all for today, we will keep you updated! Have a great weekend!

For some reason the colder weather seems to be making the chickens lay more eggs, we're getting about eight.  And today I actually managed to catch a guinea hen 😂 Everything is changing with the colder weather expected the pond since it overflowed with the past storm.  Thats all for today, thanks for reading!

The storm wasn't as bad as the weather Channel said, but there was still quite a bit of rain and wind. No tornadoes or thunder. A lot of branches and pinecones fell and some of the pathways were flooded. But no serious damage! Now we have a lot to clean up after the next storm on Friday 😄

Right now it's pouring rain and we should have some serious storms coming! There's a tornado watch for a lot of county's including Granville and wind and flood warnings.  Yesterday we were playing with the animals around the property and cleaning their pens. Not much else has been happening. 

An assortment of pictures from the beginning to now!

Every new years eve, we play a video game called Rockband which is basically where you get instruments that plug into the X-box and you create a band and play songs to unlock new songs and levels.  Scotty and I stayed up till 2:15, mom and dad only made it till 12:30. How late did you guys make it? Anyone beat us?  Yep, it was a fun year. I hope 2024 is even better!
