This year was even busier than last year on the blog! I wrote 40 new posts, took what felt like thousands of pictures, made a bunch of new videos and pulled in 1.4 million page views!
That's a lot of views!
Other interesting things happened this year. I had a rooster picture stolen and used in a meme, and a picture of my white frizzle hen stolen and used in a dress comparison. So if you saw those...that was not me. The internet sure can can be like the wild west sometimes!
Here on the farm I slowed down on chick hatching since I was so busy writing. I also had a fox problem that took out a few chickens and ducks. I didn't bother to replace the chickens yet. He got my two oldest hens, Sally who was 10 years old and Serabelle who was about 8. That put a hold on free ranging for a few months!
I made a lot more crafts with chicken feathers and eggs, but those didn't get viewed a lot so I'm thinking they're only interesting to me! lol
