MY CRAZY LIFE AS A MOTHER AND WIFE!

 

 

 

After one of our pigs went absolutely crazy and released over 3 dozen birds into his pen, which in turn became dinner for him over several weeks time...we have finally began replenishing our stock!! he.gif

 

Needless to say...our crazy pig is now....IN THE FREEZER!! clap.gifAND, hubby is building new pens, far...far...away from the new pigs! (Yes, NEW pigs)!

 

We have the sweetest little buffs orpingtons, red stars, black stars, dark brahmas, partridge brahmas, RIRs, blue ameracaunas and a bunch of mixes, some Heritage Auburn turkeys and Silver Auburns and Muscovy ducks! We also have (I think) one of the most beautifully, majestic roos I've ever owned! He isn't like any I've had, so sweet and such a gentleman...will usher all the girls over to let them eat before he does, and he stands watch over them and quickly runs to break up any squabbles that break out in the pen! He's a mix, but we love him!!

DSC_1998.JPG Setting on eggs!! I love using these little buckets in the nesting boxes b'cuz they are so easy to clean (when the girls aren't in them!)

 

DSC_2008-004.JPG  Our THREE LITTLE PIGS!! We just got these little guys over the weekend, they are still a little skittish, but they are learning where the food comes from and are getting a little braver each day!

your whole flock is awesome, but i especially enjoy your crystal. Any basset hound in her lineage? She has the feet kinda.

@fishbone I'm not sure if Crystal has any basset or not? She was a foundling...the vet said she was a husky mix, so I would imagine basset is possible! :) @texasgurl thanks so much, that's ME!! They are soooo sweet, they jump up onto my lap when I am sitting near them or gardening...I have to be careful though, I get pecked in the head alot...they are just giving kisses, I'm sure! LOL @LindaR thank you, we are still trying to figure out exactly what he is a 'mix' of! He always throws off black chicks, no matter what hen they come from!!
