Walk into the coop in spring like…
“What died in here?” 🥴🐔

Simple solution? Upgrade your bedding before the thaw turns it into compost.

Spring moisture + winter buildup = instant ammonia situation.

Here’s what saves our coop every year:

✔️ Fresh pine shavings (dry + absorbent)
✔️ Stall refresher to control ammonia
✔️ Coop rake for full clean-outs
✔️ Extra nesting pads (spring mud = dirty eggs)

If you raise backyard chickens, spring bedding reset is non-negotiable.

Linking my go-to coop bedding essentials.

You can’t buy more chickens.”

Good thing I didn’t buy them.

Clean skincare doesn’t have to be expensive.

These grass-fed tallow soap bars are just $6 each — and they outperform most commercial body washes loaded with synthetic fragrance.

Why I love tallow soap:

✔️ Deeply moisturizing

Charcoal Detox is great for acne-prone skin.
Lavender is perfect for a calming shower.
Pine & Cedar gives that woodsy farmhouse vibe.

Time for baby chicks! 🐤

This was the perfect chicken tractor for 30 Cornish cross. We did move it daily and it wasn’t cut out for that but with some modifications it would be perfect!! And can’t beat the price.

It’s almost hatching season! We are going to start pulling out our incubators and testing incubators and eggs in just a few days!!! We have an incubator rental business to allow others the experience of hatching chicks. It’s so fun sharing agricultural with others!

🐄 Benz Family Farms’ Guide to Lazy Winter Farming

Winter chores don’t need to be miserable — they just need better systems.

After too many mornings chipping ice, fighting frozen hoses, and freezing our hands, we switched to solutions that actually make winter farming tolerable.

✔ Heated waterers so there’s no ice to chip
✔ A setup that keeps hoses from freezing
✔ Warm gloves that make chores faster
✔ Bagged sawdust for easy, warm bedding (worth it for convenience)

This is the “work smarter, not harder” approach to winter farming — less frustration, fewer extra trips, and more time spent not freezing.

Everything we use to make winter chores easier is linked below 👇
