Just heading to College is a long ways from the hills.

Whose heading to college? More like the school of hard knocks or knots!

They sound strong as an ox and stubborn as a mule.

How are you doing today Kiwi?

I'm good thanks, Trim. Sorry to hear that your family are battling the bugs, and I hope everyone feels better soon.

I spotted your comment about getting too attached to a pig. It's a likely outcome, especially if you have just one, as they are intelligent animals with personalities. Factor that in, as they eat a lot, so are more expensive if they become long-term pets than poultry are. Reading your thread, I think you should aim to have great laying birds for their eggs and a cow for milk or a few sheep for wool, once you get to a bigger place. You love your animals so much that I think growing animals for meat would always be hard for you. I may be wrong, that's just the impression I have over the difference.

Yes, Frizzle cochin. I do not have, nor like, the frizzled serama.
I have 2 splash frizzle hens and 2 blue frizzle hens, but I think you only got one egg from the pen with the blues (C2). The splashes should have been laying, so there's a good possibility of a blue frizzle. I have yet to hatch a female frizzle this year. The few frizzles that have hatched have been male.

I'm just exited everything is going how it is. This has been a much more enjoyable than the first two attempts.
Thank you very much.

We almost got a pig about a year ago, but it would have been for a pet. There was a kunekune up for adoption, but we decided with a baby, learning to care for a pig was not a good idea.

I'm sitting outside, listening to the birds at dusk. The ducks are in the background, the chicks are right next to me, and the roosters have finally shut their beaks. It's borderline peaceful out here right now. Even Big Mommas honk isn't so bad to listen to.

Sounds lovely.. I am sure good ear plugs would block out the sound of the offensive waterfowl.

And as a bonus it will help your ears when you decide to have target practice.

Okay, I have pictures but not enough time to label or story tell about. If you have any questions, as always, they are welcomed.
