Our New Animals

We have gotten lots of new additions to our farm.  We have five little piglets loving their new home in their fully furnished barn.  For now they are on heat lights since the weather has not been real good.  The first morning after we got them Terrill forgot to lock the gate behind them and all but one got out!  It was freezing that morning and we spent a good hour trying to catch them.  One tried to skate on ice but fell through of course.  Terrill was about to jump in after it but managed to shimmy on a fallen tree and save the pig.  I spent my time running up and down the road til I was able to corner the last pig in our neighbors yard.  Those little piggies were heavy!  They have double in size though and are looking great.

The chick incubator and hatcher are working overtime :)  A new batch is ready each week and they are selling quickly.  We also have hatched our first batch of ducks.  They are so sweet, its gonna be hard selling them!
