Farm life feeds my soul 🐓🌾, but the water—whether pool or ocean—fills my spirit 🌊☀️. We’ve enjoyed the Bahamas several times these past few years, but this trip was extra special: Tony’s very first airplane ride ✈️, our first Uber 🚗, venturing outside the Nassau gates 🛍, and discovering the new Celebration Key 🌴🏖. Paradise with my favorite person 💕

We highly recommend LaCarrie Means for any of your travel needs! I am so thankful that Christy Owens recommended LaCarrie to us!

🌟🐓 What I’ve Learned About Mycoplasma 🌟

Through my first experience dealing with Mycoplasma, I’ve learned just how common it really is. It can come from so many places:
✅ New birds you bring home
✅ Swaps and auctions
✅ Hatching eggs
✅ Fairs and poultry shows where birds share the same air space

💡 The good news? When treated properly, chickens can go right back to being normal, happy, healthy birds. They can continue laying, growing, and thriving just like before.

🚨 My biggest takeaway has been the importance of QUARANTINE. From this day forward, I’ll always keep new or returning birds separate for at least 30 days before adding them to my flock.

I also want to be clear about this: I will never knowingly sell a sick bird. Right now, I am treating every single bird on my farm for 2 weeks — a full week longer than what’s normally recommended — to make sure my flock is fully healthy. I will only open back up once the entire flock has been treated and there are no signs of illness anywhere.

But here’s the thing—I’m not going to live in fear. I will not shut my farm down from visitors, from children’s smiles, or from the laughter that fills this place. I’ll be stricter with some policies, yes, but I won’t completely isolate myself or my farm. Where would that get me? I don’t know.

What I do know is this: it’s a balance, and it’s more work, but it’s one I am willing to take on. Because at the end of the day, farming is about more than chickens—it’s about people, community, and joy.

At Double K Farms, we are proud to be NPIP Certified & AI Clean ✅, and we’ll keep moving forward with care, balance, and gratitude.

🌾 Thank You From the Bottom of My Heart 🌾

Last night I shared one of the hardest posts I’ve ever written — that my flock had been exposed to mycoplasma. I was scared to hit “post,” afraid it might hurt my farm or the dream I’ve been building.

But what I received in return was an outpouring of kindness, encouragement, and support. So many of you reminded me how common this is, thanked me for being honest, and told me that my transparency makes you trust me even more. Those words have been a light in what has felt like a very heavy day.

I can’t promise the road of farming will ever be easy — yesterday nearly broke me. But I can promise that I will never give up when challenges come. Farming is in my blood: my grandparents farmed, my dad still farms, and I will keep that tradition alive.

Honesty and trust mean everything to me, and I’ll always be open about the hard parts right alongside the joys. Thank you for lifting me up and reminding me why this dream matters. ❤️🌱

🌾 A Hard but Honest Update 🌾

This is hardest post that I have ever made.

Today I learned that some of my flocks have been exposed to mycoplasma, a very common respiratory illness in poultry. On the advice of my veterinarian, I am treating my entire flock with antibiotics for the next week or two. Out of an abundance of caution, no birds or chicks will leave my farm during this time.

I’ll be honest—I didn’t even know much about mycoplasma until today. Since then, I’ve had a crash course in learning what it is, how it spreads, and how to stop it. I’ve learned it can spread not only from bird to bird, but also through visitors’ shoes, clothing, and hands. That has been hard to accept, because for years I’ve loved opening my farm to kids and families to share the joy of chickens.

As painful as this is, I want to be extremely transparent with everyone who supports Double K Farms. Mycoplasma is unfortunately very common in backyard and breeder flocks, and many farms face it at some point. The difference is in how it’s handled—and I promise I will always put honesty first. Trust means everything to me, and I will never hide something this important from the people who have supported me and believed in my dream.

Here’s my commitment:
🐓 I will take every step to restore and maintain a strong, healthy flock.
🐓 I will not allow any bird to leave my farm until I am fully confident it is safe.
🐓 I will continue to be honest, even when it hurts, because your trust is the foundation of Double K Farms.

My dream has always been bigger than chickens—it’s about carrying on my family’s farming tradition. My grandparents farmed, my dad is still farming today, and I want to keep that way of life alive. I love watching kids’ excitement when they hold a chick, families starting flocks together, and the joy these birds bring. This setback has been heartbreaking, but it will not end my dream. If anything, it has made me more determined to protect it, learn from it, and carry it forward with integrity.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your continued support. When Double K Farms reopens, you can have full confidence that every bird here has been cared for with the highest standards. ❤️

🙏💛 A Heartfelt Thank You 💛🙏

We are so very thankful for all the love and support our farm continues to receive. 🌿🐓 Your encouragement means the world to us and keeps our dream moving forward every single day.

For now, we’ll be taking a little break. 🚫🐥 We will be closed for the next 2 weeks (possibly 3). During this time, we will not have chicks, birds, eggs, or farm visits available.

We’ll keep you updated and can’t wait to welcome everyone back once we reopen. Until then, thank you again for being part of our farm family! 💛

💛🐥 If you’ve ever met our sweet friend Emily, you know she has a heart of pure gold. 💛

Today she picked up one of our Silkies, and the little fluffball just melted right into her arms — head laid over like it had finally found its long-lost best friend. 😂 It acted like it had been so mistreated…🙄🙄😂😂!
