The gang’s all here! 🐥🥚
Meet Penguin, Mohawk, and Curly. 💚
Our residents had an absolute blast waiting on these fluffy fowl to peck their way into the world, and we’re still on cuteness overload! We named the chicks after their physical attributes, with Curly getting its name because of its curled toes. This is a common condition amongst birds, and can be fixed if corrected early on.
We got the chance to say goodbye before the babies went to their forever home with Ms. Coriann where they will be treated with the utmost care. 🩹
Follow along to see these chicks spread their wings (and hopefully toes) into adulthood. 🐓
Excited to see the first baby has hatched!
#2 slowly making its way out.

Curly said, I need my friends to hatch already! 👀
The 4th of July is almost here 🎆 and our residents are gearing up for our Independence Day pool party! 🏊♀️ Independence Landing offices will be closed Friday, July 3rd in honor of the holiday. We will resume normal business hours Monday, July 6th. Wishing you all a fun, safe weekend! 💚
We heard that some of you have been egg-stremely curious as to what’s been up with our baby chicks. 🕯️🐣 Here’s your update: they should be here any minute!😍
We just completed our final egg candling—where we check for fertility or embryos— and are expecting 3 babies to peck their way earth-side any day now! The term “egg candling” comes from hundreds of years ago when the bright flame from a candle would be held under an egg. This illuminated the inside, revealing air pockets, indicating the egg is fertilized. We also learned that eggshell color typically predicts feather color, but it can ultimately vary. From our white eggs, we’re expecting yellow or black feathered baby chicks. 🐥
Our residents have thoroughly enjoyed this process, and we absolutely cannot wait to see it all come full circle! What color chicks do you think we’ll get? 🤔
