Okay, we're 99% sure that two of my Tamworth pigs are preggy. Problem is, not sure when the boar finally did his job. We are thinking we have about a month to go, but not sure...
These will be our first litters, so wish us luck!!
6 wheaten marans eggs for $30 (inc. shipping). My chickens came from Buddy Henry. This is a picture of eggs going in my bator today. If you are interested, I can ship 6 out to you next week.
Thanks.

I am currently hatching barred rock chicks for myself. However, I set more eggs than I will need. If anybody is interested in some chicks in a couple of weeks, let me know. I'm in the Columbia/Lexington area of SC. I am asking $1/chick.
My birds get quality feed and no medications/antibiotics...
I have just separated some of my barred rocks so that I can hatch some black sex links for myself. While I have them separated, I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in some eggs. It will probably be a month before I would have eggs available to sell, but thought I'd ask ahead of...
We've been trying to breed my Tamworths but my young boar is a little confused...He thinks his water trough is his girlfriend....Maybe I should paint my sow blue?? LOL!
Edited b/c I can't spell...
I have been trying and trying and trying to successfully hatch my narri eggs. I've had 1 out of about 30 hatch. From what I've read, I'm doing everything by the book...Many of them make it to the very last day(s), but never make it out of the shell. I've cracked the shells and looked at them and...
Okay, this has probably been asked before, but I am running out of time... I want to know what kind of knife (knives) I need to make butchering as easy as possible. We butchered the first roo last weekend. We thought the knife was sharp, but not nearly sharp enough. I'm by no means an expert on...
So, we are now over-run with roos that are terrorizing my hens. Only option...eat the roos. So, we butchered the first one today. And, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. (Maybe because I am sooooo mad at all the roos.) But, for whatever reason, it didn't bother me like I thought...
Is anyone interested in hatching some embden geese? Mine have been laying regularly for about a month now.
I can ship 4 on Monday for $25 which includes shipping.
Please pm or email me if interesred.
Thanks.
Everyone has lost their minds!! The turkeys (toms) started fighting each other. They are all bruised and bloodied. The geese now think they are "attack dogs" everytime we walk thru the fence. The Tamworth boar, well, I won't even go into what he's doing, other than "practicing"...
Either the...
I have 9 RIR eggs in the hatcher right now, and it's day 20. Started off with 12, but 3 were clear/no development. Three pips this morning before I left for work!!
Work?? Who can thing about work??!!??
I sure am gonna miss being glued to the 'bator!
Bargain, these are the eggs I got from...
Does anyone here from SC sell their eggs at places other than at a stand near the farm? If so, what kinds of licensing/permits do you have to have? How do you go about getting the proper permissions?
Thanks!
Okay, I give up. I know that chicks are messy with the water, but this is ridiculous!! This batch of chicks somehow manages to spill the entire waterer every single day. I'm tired of changing pine shavings daily. I've tried putting different things in the bottom of the brooder to set the waterer...
We got our Berkshires last week. I just now got around to taking a picture. Here's one of the Berks with our Tamworths. Only pig missing is the Tam Boar, Mojo.
Tam on the left is Penny and tam on the right is Dixie, both sisters. Dixie was the runt of the litter, and you can still see the...
We butchered our first three pigs before Thanksgiving. We went this past weekend and picked up the meat. As soon as we got home, we came straight inside and cooked some bacon, sausage, and fresh eggs. OMG!!! That was the best pork I have ever eaten. I've always heard that the meat you raise...
