OMG...I'm dying. Really?!![]()
I’m not surprised. They are as smart as, if not smarter than, dogs and have more weight to throw around to break through bad barriers.
Nope, they are in a cattle panel fence that are wired to t-post driven a foot into the ground and hog tied in the corners in a field. We didn't add a gate either we have a wooden style we use to step over the panels. They are still pretty small and haven't shown any signs of digging more than a surface level.And their nose is a plow/front end loaded run by a 50 hp PTO. They've pushed my fence up 18" in places. Rea, If memory serves you don't have any trees or branches over hanging your pig yard, if not don't worry. If you do and one falls, remove it immediately. The way my downhill spiral began was the falling of a dead tree limb. Ham dug out a spot and shoved the small end in under the fence. He worked it daily until the fence was high enough that he could get his snoot all the way under. Took him just days after that to execute the great escape.
I don't really know. I'm getting started on breeding birds and I'm going to start my own LF White Cornish project. I have one pullet white pullet out of 17 eggs I got shipped. I'll add her to my two Dark hens from my trio in a pen with one of my cockerels from this year. I'll be working the offspring from the white back to the mother and trying to get to a pure white line of my own. 4-5 Dark pullets from this year are going in a pen with my original Dark cock bird.Ok, On a more serious note, this is my first year selectively breeding my Hollands. Right now I have the biggest, darkest hens in the breed pen with Dad, who is gorgeous. Two potential Moms and 8 Daughters. I'm working toward a larger/meatier frame Darker color in the girls, maintaining lay rates & disposition and lighter, yet prettier boys. Should I keep Dad for this year or should I select the biggest and lightest boy on pasture and bring him in? I'm horrible at genetics. Some of the stuff I've read would suggest moving dad to a safe place and bring in the best fitting cockerel and then breed back the off spring with grandpa the next year, others say stick with dad. I'm so confused.
