    Got us some ex commercial hens. <3

    All the ladies are still doing fab by the way, though the whole group has been molting. I bring them greens every day! The baby duckies are now big enough to quack!

    Got us some ex commercial hens. <3

    Yes, they came from a large commercial barn, nothing like a small local eggfarm. Normally I think they start laying at around twelve weeks and then get processed/slaughtered at around eighteen months if they are not picked up by a rescue... so they should be a bit over two years old by now. :)...

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    So I guess I'll find another egg tomorrow. She just won't stop! ❤️

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    I think that in the US and somewhat the UK "cob" or "cobb" is used to reference both a few breeds of horses and ponies as well as types of horses (but maybe I'm wrong!), but in scandinavia it isn't used unless we speak specifically about one of the cob breeds. Like a Welsh Cob or Irish Cob. Not...

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    I know I'm bias but I always loved the heavier, cold blood horses. Friesans, highlands, clydesdales, fjords, icelands... shetlands. All of them! (though I'd love an akhal theke as a pet! 😁 ). Absolutely excellent name! They are beautiful horses as well! And if you ever want to practice your...

    Scottish borders gave us the Border Collie and Border Terrier on the dog side though! Both absolutely amazing and very healthy! 😁

    They are very cute, but the mutation that causes their ears to fold also affects the cartilage and sometimes bones in the rest of their bodies - especially if you breed two cats with a visible fold. It's so bad that some countries have banned breeding them. Us humans always mess things up! 😩

    Unfortunately, yes. Not the borders specifically, but Scotland. :)

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    There is no cob in them though, they originate from a native Swedish breed. :) But I see what you mean! Your Apollo sounds stunning! I love a white leg.

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    The standardbred, by the way, is simply called "warm blooded trottinghorse" in Swedish. We are very literal people! 😁

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    No, the standardbred is a warmblooded horse, the coldblooded trotter is as the name says, a coldblooded horse bred for harness racing. They originate from the North Swedish draft horse and the Norwegian Dølahest. :) Here's a standardbred, Viking Kronos: And a cold blooded trotter: Both breeds...

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    They are gorgeous! Common in Finland and Norway as well. I'd say they stand between 150cm to 165cm, anything above that is a very large/too large horse. My first mare was 148. :) I'm not sure if you guys measure in hands or inches? Standardbreds are amazing too and a very common horse in Sweden...

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    My last few horses were a modern line of the same breed, now separated and called cold blood trotters. Absolutely amazing allround animals! This is Ruben, my last boy. ❤️ Not at all in racing condition I might add. 😁 Eight year old Stallion E: Järvsöfaks.

    What's your favorite horse breed(s), and why? 😁

    I adore the Swedish Native working breeds. They are smallish for a heavy horse and nimble enough to work in dense and sensitive forest areas. They have no excessive feathering and are healthy, sturdy, energetic and have amazing temperament! Suitable for most hobby sports in riding as well. I...

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    Prim is back to displaying! Didn't get the memo that breeding season is over. 😁 Looking good though, and he isn't at all as intense as he was this spring. Thank goodness!

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    Oh yes if that happened it would be different! Mine just have a slight change of yellow tint. :) I believe some chickens do this if kept in an all female flock as well?

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    All my girls laid eggs and I'm not worried, they just seem to grow out like that and then fade. :) This was them last year with their new feathers:

    My lovely yellow goldens.

    And even the girls new feathers have a bit more of a yellow tint to them - though I seem to remember the same from last year and wonder if the old ones are simply a bit drained of colour through the seasons.
