Welcome to our humble homestead! At TRW we embrace all things rustic... freewheeling self sufficiency, repurposing, and anything homey, homespun, or homemade!

The Rustic Ward Homestead has been in our family for over 20 years. When the property was first acquired, it was way out in the middle of nowhere. Over the years we have watched development spring up around us, especially in the last few years, but we strive to keep our homestead feel and have added some urban quirkiness to keep up with the times. Homesteads need work, sometimes a lot and around t

AMAZING FACTS ABOUT CHICKEN

1. Chickens are surprisingly intelligent. They can recognize over 100 faces of their flockmates and even humans. They also have complex communication systems, using different calls for warnings, food discoveries, and more.

2. They dream, just like us. Chickens experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which suggests they might dream!

3. A mother hen talks to her chicks before they're hatched. She clucks softly, and the chicks chirp back from inside the eggs, building a bond before they even meet.

4. Chickens are great at math (well, sort of). Studies show they can count and even perform basic addition or subtraction tasks.

5. The world has more chickens than humans. With over 33 billion chickens on Earth, they far outnumber us.

6. Chickens have unique personalities. Just like humans, some are bold and adventurous, while others are shy or cautious.

7. They're descendants of dinosaurs. Chickens are closely related to the mighty T. rex. That drumstick on your plate? It's basically a tiny dino leg!

8. Chickens can feel empathy. Mother hens show concern for their chicks, displaying signs of distress if their babies are in danger.

9. They can run fast. A chicken can sprint up to 9 miles per hour (14 kilometers per hour) when motivated.

10. Egg color depends on the hen's breed. White-feathered chickens with white earlobes lay white eggs, while brown-feathered chickens with red earlobes lay brown eggs. There are even breeds that lay blue or green eggs!
