Kayla’s Flock 2.0

[HuffleClaw]

Good morning...


That should be coming up in a few weeks? They must be at least 12 weeks old...
*remembers that EEs start to lay at 20-26 weeks* Well, coming up in near future...

She’s like 4 months old now (almost 5, I think)

Good morning folks How's everyone?

Good morning! Doing well, you?

Exhausted.
Just pulled an all nighter to get late work done. I'm literally running on 2hrs sleep.

You’ll get through it, and maybe you’ll get a nice break today so you can rest up.

I used to do that a lot, but don't think I could do it anymore. Old body needs sleep

Couldn't be better.

Great to hear! And Todd?

 

[rjohns39]

Well, Todd is grounded until we sort out a new issue with the pigs. They were ALL out last night and things got ugly. I'll go out in a little bit and see if they went back in to their house, if so I'll close the gate. I haven't found a fence they can't defeat.

He’ll get the hang of it, one day! Have you tried electric fencing?

Yup, it worked great until the boar discovered he could break it with his backside.

Ahh okay. When my grandmother used to keep pigs (they were meat pigs) she had this kind of goat wire (not sure what it’s actually called, it was her slang of description):

*not my pic*

And then she’d wrap it in barbed wire (all the way across - lengthwise, and about 2 or so feet up in height).

 

[rjohns39]

That is much more likely to work. Problem I have is metal posts as opposed to wooden posts with staples. Once they get their nose under it, up it comes. I need to get the boar processed, just no room in the budget for that yet.

I love your flock I can’t wait to have a nice big flock that I can show off
