| Hi, my name is Shari McCollough. Welcome to Harvest Breeze Farm's website. Me, along with my husband Larry have 5 beautiful children, Haley 20, she is a sophomore at Purdue University, Kinsey 17, Reagan 14, Kyle 12 and Mason 6. It's a full time job but very enjoyable!! Our hobby farm is located in West Central Indiana. We are in the heart of the corn belt! I absolutely LOVE where we live. It's in the country, surrounded by fields of corn and soybeans. I really enjoy the privacy, peace and quiet. Our farm is FULL of life. We always have something going on; if it's not the new chicks hatching, it's baby kids being born. We currently have: two llamas (Equalizer and Majestic), 23 pygmy goats, and several chickens. I focus only on the bearded silkies and bantam cochins. We also have three dogs; Zoey(German Shepherd), Oliee(Jack Russell Terrier) and Isabella(Boston Terrier). Our family also enjoys reptiles, we have a Brazilian Rainbow Boa named Rain and a Bearded Dragon named Louie and two pet rats Tooie and Nakie. Never a dull moment here trust me:) I am currently participating in my 5th year of exhibiting poultry and my 7th year of breeding silkies and cochins. We are currently raising silkies in: white, black, splash ,and blue, now WORKING on lavender. We raise bantam cochins, in white, black, blue and splash varieties. We are not a hatchery, we raise our birds for our own enjoyment first, our goal here is not money, it's raising the best, breeding to the standard set for each species in mind at all times. We only breed from animals that are Vigorous, Productive, Fertile, Disease Resistant and Live long Healthy lives. Yes, Longevity is very important to me, after all without life you cannot possess any of these other important traits. Feel free to stop by anytime, I try to update once a week, I work and my family comes first so once a week updates don't always happen. I also do not always answer emails as they come in, so don't worry if I don't answer in the first day, I'm just a very busy person and don't always have time to jump on the computer. With that said, thank you for stopping by!! Hugs, The McCollough Family |

| Now we are in the month of March it's a good feeling knowing spring will soon be here. The last few days we've been in the 40's it's been so nice, this weekend we are supposed to be in the 50's and sunny, I'm so excited!!! With a few days off work I managed to get a few of the birds washed and put into show cages, I will be working on the white cochins and black cochins this weekend, selecting the birds that will go up for spring shows, It will be nice to get back into the swing of things, the warm weather motivates me:) In the last few days with the warmer weather the production is already picking up, I did candle the eggs from the lav/split pen and already have some fertiles, I also had a few blue/splash cochin eggs which was a nice suprise, I didn't think they'd be fertile. Sat several black silkie eggs hoping for good news there as well. I'm closing with a thought for the day...... Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
