IMG_2397Welcome to The Fourteen Acres!  I’m Leslie.    I’m a wife, mom, grandmother, and a Nurse Anesthetist.    My family and I live on a 14 acre farm in North Texas.   We bought our first chickens in 2013 and I quickly became obsessed with egg colors and egg color genetics.   Since then I’ve been on a quest to see how many different egg colors I can create through mixing breeds……. breeding specifically for egg color.   I’m an avid gardener, a beekeeper, and a nature lover through and through.   My Instagram (@thefourteenacres) has documented this journey and has also allowed me to meet a lot of amazing people along the way.  This blog is a major step outside of my comfort zone.  I’ve never been much of a writer.    So, here’s to new adventures and learning new things!     Thanks for being here!!

Blessings, Leslie
