Change of plans

I'm saying! They offered me one of the piglets for free, I kindly declined, but every ounce of me wanted to snatched one up

I don't think I would have that self control!

I had a pet pig when I was a kid. Her name was Salty and she was all black. We taught her to use the dog door and she knew how to sit, stay, and lay down on command. I loved her!

Unfortunately, I learned my lesson that there was no such thing as a "teacup pig" and she quickly grew (learned later we were lied to and she was a HUGE potbelly) and then started charging any stranger that came to the house.

We eventually had to give her away because she was terrorizing the neighborhood kids.

That's what these were, potbelly pigs. I looked into the first stall with the brand new piglets and that momma stood up, and started snorting and stomping. We went to the second stall and they said "this ones really nice, you could probably go in there and hold one of the piglets", I told them no that was ok, but in my head I was saying, hell no I may be able to get away with bringing a baby goat home (strong maybe) but a pig, no frickin way would that fly

So, I was watching the birds on the run camera this morning and Langdon started dancing around Judith (blue sexlink/marans) Apparently she was not picking up what he was trying to put down cuz she went after him. She kept going after him anytime he got remotely close to her. Poor guy just can't catch a break

Quick little update, Lady went lunatic broody yesterday and a fight broke out over the nest box that Cersei is in, I was fixin on moving the 3 pullets I kept to the grow out area after work but decided to chuck Lady's crazy self in there instead. I don't think I've ever heard such a ruckus from a chicken, when I picked her up, she was carrying on and screeching like a lunatic She will be camping out there for the rest of the week! Hopefully that'll fix her badass attitude! We need eggs folks, not more broodies

I don't keep the run camera on usually cuz I'd end up with 5 million videos by the end of the day and unfortunately I had turned the coop cam off because I was heading out there. I have had a lot of broodies, but she definitely gets the crown for being XTRA! This is the 3rd time I've had to break her broodiness.

Well, thank you! I try and keep it as natural as possible. I can't wait until everything starts to green up!
