Ugh old plumbing is awful. good luck with that I feel your pain with copper pipes. PVC is way cheaper, don't let people scare you.
I am really awful at the feed stores. Hubby gets so mad at me cause i wander off especially during "chick days" hehe!
I go into every isle of the animal feeds, read labels, look at the "new arrival" stuff.
You will LOVE the FF, its just awesome, i am so not joking on that. cuts the feed in half, no waste, they don't stink anymore. even the poop boards!
They look so shiny and healthy I am just impressed. I took in 2 pullets (BR and EE) that were stripped bare from being over mated, they have their feathers back and are just beautiful now.
I truly believe FF saved my little runt piglet, Roxy. She is almost 5 months old now, and maybe 35-40 pounds,
Bacon is 6 months, my older pig and is easily 250. I worm, vaccinate, bathe and care for every animal here.
When i got serious with FF, I started Roxy on it and an egg with each feeding 2x a day. (Bacon too, he loves it!)
she gained most of her weight the last 3 weeks! Her fur is growing in now, and she has a belly!
We got her free and i just couldn't leave her at that farm.(she is meant to be a pet/breeder in the future)
I had intended to buy more piglets from him, after looking at the stock (what a horrible filthy place)
Told him they weren't what i wanted, looking for durocs. Still trying to be "nice"...
Every piglet there was terrified. his kids were chasing them and throwing things at them!?!?! Where do children learn that its ok to be like that...
Then i saw Roxy hiding in the barn. I said, whats with that one? He went over grabbed her, and said, here take her before she dies on me.
So tiny, she was just skin and bone. not even 10 poundsI took her and left.![]()
Ya, they are "just animals" UGHbut they are a living thing. Even if they are meant for food or just provide wool and eggs they deserve respect and good treatment. I hold my chickens, ducks, geese, and pet them. scratch my pigs ears, rub their backs and bellies.. brush out my alpacas and rub their necks. OK, stepping off the soapbox![]()

We are in the process of preparing for a remodel in one of our bathrooms and kitchen due to old copper pipes
