[willowbranchfarm]

Yeah cause ive never done it before. Umm I'm still at like chapter 6 or 7 because I haven't had time to read and now I got Togo do chores.

 

[littlecreekfarm]

Cool. Okay.


Nugget!


My show lamb, Lambert!

Bubba my rescued chick

He hatched 3 days early and then got attacked by another hen, she scalped him basically. He's better now.

Awww those are so cute!

 

[chloezoebob101]

aww! I love your lamb!

 

[JerseyGiantfolk]

And the chickens!

 

[littlecreekfarm]

Yeah Nugget has really grown up. I'm debating on showing her again or not. And Lambert I will have him for about one more month and then I show him and sell him. My little Bubba is so sweet he kind of thinks he's a human!

I showed my 4 Year old Jersey Giant last year, she's fully retired now, she shrinked..

 

[littlecreekfarm]

The reason I'm debating showing her is because the last time I showed her she got really sick. And she means so much to me. She was a champion though. Won a bunch of prizes

Oh okay, yes, I see. That's the risky things about poultry shows. My mom is good about Bio Security. She holds the cage, I take out the bird and put it in the cage. She never touches it to the floor. And when we get home, we set the cages out in the front yard to kill any germs (when the sun comes out) Also if the bird is not looking "the best" you can put sheets of paper inbetween the cages. One more thing: Younger chickens are easier targets to catch disease, when they are older the usually don't get many bad diseases. I totally understand. I went to a poultry show once, and I heard that the year before some chickens were stolen right from the cage. (I stopped going to that show, I always got sick afterwards)
