➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Nope! They are not. I would probably breed Cookie because she is on the smaller side and has a really fit, active body. Here are her baby pics when we first brought her home. View attachment 1659801 View attachment 1659802 View attachment 1659803

I want Cookie she is more of a faker.

She is a really fun pig. She's super curious and always follows you around to see what the action is. Oddly, she is less independent than Whipple. She is more of a beggar as well. She SCREAMS for her treats. Whip is more of a mellow, lazy pig.

We’d spay/neuter ours but piglets do sound fun...but I don’t have enough room for 80 piggies.

Or you could just get a couple gilts! Or a gilt and a wethered male for the best of both worlds.

You are killing yourself slowly.

Yeah I know, it’s bad I need to eat better but it’s so good but then I feel sick. No headache now though a few hours later and after showering but still. Gonna try to eat some protein or something. But i am lazy and it is easy and delicious.

Pigs are super social and tend to not know how to be pigs if they are raised in the house. I've got a couple pet pigs. The first one we had for awhile by herself and she lived inside and hung out with the dogs and the cats. While they can get along, pigs are NOT dogs. They don't read a dog's body language and they don't respect a dog's boundaries. This was my experience. The piggy ended up getting nipped because she would not stop nibbling on the dog's feet. As soon as we could, we got another piggy. They are much happier together.
They can totally be raised alone, but I don't think it's fair to them. Besides, what's better than a pet pig? TWO pet pigs!

My neighbor had a "small" pig with a few chickens it really didn't bother the chickens. They got another pig and it was like a totally different animal. You could tell it was much happier with another one. You woudnt have noticed how bored it was before without that second one being added.

Hm from what you guys have said, seems the DO need a friend then and it is true that two is better than one! But most people won’t want two in the house cause they get so big but too bad lol

This is just terrible! You're going to get diabetes if you continue eating like this. Honestly, it makes me feel sick just thinking about it.
You'd best be eating some Brussels sprouts, girl!

Yeah, I know that was horrible. Made the same thing the other night too but did not eat them all. Last night I made grilled cheese with ham. I really need to eat better though. But it tasted really good. And i hate Brussels sprouts. But i do need to eat some vegetables.

Pigs are awesome! View attachment 1659699

Awwww

@KDOGG331 We were not being mean.
We don't want you to eat so bad though...for real. Diet is very important and it can prevent illness or cause illness a lot faster than "normal."

It’s okay, I know you weren’t. And you are right. I do need to eat a lot better. I normally do not eat quite this bad though but it was delicious. But while I do normally eat relatively junky like bread or whatever, I do not normally eat quite THAT bad or so late (last night I made the grilled cheese at like 11, 11:30, other night I made the pancakes at like midnight), but lately I have been staying up later, sleeping in later, and then just sitting around on the iPad doing literally nothing all day so then sometimes it is hours after I wake up before I decide to eat and by them I am kinda blah zay and/or tired or lethargic or dehydrated or whatever (cause often I don’t drink for hours either) and don’t want to go out so then I finally get starving and lazy and make something easy, fast, and delicious cause I don’t wanna wait. That said, an omelette, grilled cheese, or scrambled eggs, or sandwich would likely be just as fast if not faster and way healthier. But sometimes we also don’t have much food that I like or it all takes too much time to make. I really need to eat better and earlier and not be so lazy. Although sometimes I do go to Subway too and have been getting tuna lately but I usually only do that if I am already working/out of the house. And it has been so cold too I do not want to leave the house. But I usually work Mondays and Wednesdays and will eat Subway then/leave the house but otherwise I basically sit at the kitchen counter the entire day and barely move and/or sit in the living room and don’t start my TV show when I want to because I am on the iPad an hour or 2 hours first, totally accidentally. I did finally shower today around 7 I think. Idk exactly. Lost track of time. Still haven’t eaten dinner yet. I seriously seriously need a major change to my lifestyle and my eating and exercise and general life habits. Or maybe, perhaps more effectively, a kick in the ass.

I want I need I want I need I really need I really want I’ve always had a soft spot for the spotted ones.

When I lived in Kansas, we would go to the fair every year and they have a live birthing exhibit because of the KSU vet program. Every single year there would be baby piglets all lined up on momma and I had to be dragged away every time. I even got to hold one!!! These were feeder pigs though.

I also got to see a Holstein calf being born which was super awesome.


Gosh I can’t wait until this is my real job.

Set an alarm on your iPad and phone.
Set a few.
Set them for every hour.
Ten minutes before each whole hour.
11:50
12:50
1:50....
Get up and do stuff each time the alarm goes off...don't stop moving for each ten minute period.

I don’t know if I could deal with their heat cycles. Bella, our bulldog, is just coming out of her 2nd and it’s been the longest 21 days of my life.

I have to move 10 whole minutes straight!? that’s a lot of time to fill!! But probably good. Sometimes I try to remember to get up every 20 minutes or half hour or so but that is harder to do. But I do need to remember to at least get up every hour or so. I did work out today though and I think the other day. I am trying to do that more but hard to remember and I am lazy. But my current lifestyle is likely extremely dangerous. Sometimes I just run up and down the stairs a bunch until I start panting and/or my legs start burning which doesn’t take long lol
