Pigs & Turkeys

Have you hugged a pig today?


The wiggies have been outside this spring digging up last year's garden and feasting on the left overs. Now, they are getting set to begin their work tilling up the straw pack in the sheep barn and making it into a fine compost to spread onto the fields. This move indoors is a bit of an adjustment to the little guys, who were used to having lots of room to run. Now, they must resign themselved to playing "Ring Around the Piggie", check it out :)


In other news, our flock of Bourbon Reds - 11 hens and on lucky Tom Turkey, are going to be breeding, laying eggs and raising their own little ones this year. At least that's the plan! Here, we had a turkey parade where Todd (the biggest turkey of them all!) left the group up onto the wooded "island" in the field. Our hopes are that they will make a comfortable home for themselves here, and we will come back in a month or so and find many little turkeys running around.
