Sometimes our thread moves so fast I miss posts, I think all of us do. I wanted to say
WELCOME new members to our thread if I had not done so already. We only ask to please be respectful of others opinions, Its ok to agree to disagree! Please keep our thread "family clean". We do have young adults that visit the thread often. Its ok to talk about other poultry, livestock, pets, kids, parents, life! Pictures are always welcome
. And if you need to rant
or just blow off steam about a bad day that's ok too. We keep a member list, and who breeds chickens and other poultry/waterfowl and livestock. PM @bradselig @Mother2Hens or me, @jchny2000 if you would like to be added to the list. You do not have to live in Indiana to be a part of our group either, we have members from a few other states as well.
Going to try to get some pictures tomorrow myself, some of the birds are done molting/growing up and are just beautiful. @kabhyper1 my lil Cricket and Gus Jr are just gorgeous, and that lil cochin mix is bigger every time I see him. Gus avoids me, but Jules is usually close by lol. She is still molting, but a pretty girl and very dominant in the flock.
My piglets are becoming pigs, loving my fat lil boar! just a doll, hope he stays this social. Still haven't named him, he is big, chubby, friendly, loves big belly rubs and back rubs, solid black with one white foot. Our barrow is of course, named Bacon. Haven't named the gilts yet either, but the bluebutt is probably going to be named Tiny. She is still the smallest, calmest lil girl ever.
My York gilt is still a timid girl, but almost as big as as the boars. very long body on her. Giving her extra treats like quail eggs and an occasional stale doughnut.
Will be putting my buck, Bocephus in with his girls December 1st to have kidding late April. Really adore the baby goats
I plan to keep a doe this year and expand the herd.
Posting again about the little potbellied pig DD has. She is working way too many hours, and lil Marla is too sweet to just be a pig in a pen, she needs a good home. PM me if interested. Marla has not been spayed, she is about 10 months old, estimated weight is around 40 pounds, white with blue patches. DD is not asking anything for her, just wants to find a good home and an owner that has time for her.
