| Spotted in the woods.... Spot! |
The title of this post is not a typo... Kevin went to a Sustainable Farming Association committee meeting this afternoon and came home to tell me that he has six piglets reserved. Six! That means we will have a bunch of pork available in the fall. Locals, if you want us to put you down for a half, let us know.
Out in the goat pen...

| Vinca is getting really wide! |

| Echo on the left, Vinca on the right. Echo is a first timer so she has not expanded nearly as much as Vinca | |

Kevin ordered some new fencing which came this week. It's portable electric mesh. He set it up in the back yard and we put ForestRanger out there for a couple of hours. They checked it out, got a few shocks, and most importantly, stayed in!

| The hens made a break for it when we filled up their big waterer n the coop this morning, so I just let them roam around. They really seemed to enjoy getting out in the pasture for some of the greening up grass. |

| In the house, I have 36 eggs in this borrowed incubator. |
So, that first week of April is going to be pretty interesting around here, with eggs due to hatch, kids due to be delivered, and little pigs arriving.
I guess that's about all the news from around these parts. Until next time, be well.
I keep telling myself to buy an incubator, but life gets ahead of me. We did add 6 new buff orpingtons chicks this year though.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes this first time. I have already missed one turning... it's supposed to be 3 time a day. I may get one of my own that has an automatic turner. I figure hens don't turn their eggs on a schedule though, so, hopefully no harm done!
