Ms. M-ah - Pregnant Potbelly Pig

This is Ms. M-ah - she's our practice pig - a pink potbelly pig with spots. Try saying that in a hurry 20 times!

She's sweet - and I expect her to farrow anytime this week.

She's also our roto-tiller pig, very handy at preparing the garden for me, so I think she's here to stay :)

Das Squeaker...

The Squeaker peed on the bed at 1:30am this morning, as hubby was taking Kweeba out to go potty. So I had to get the cat enzyme, put that on the bed, put towels down to soak it up, and then hubby and I grumpily went back to bed.

Of course, he (hubby) just falls asleep in mere seconds, I'm the one laying staring at the ceiling for hours.

And I had a litter tray on my bedside table for the little beggar, as well.

Ducklings!

The ducklings are also 2 weeks old today - the littlest of the bunch is the wee Indian Runner x Rouen cross. The rest are Rouen x Pekin crosses and I'm hoping they will be tasty come time to butcher in the fall.

Goslings!

So the goslings are two weeks old now that my friend Jan hatched out for me in her incubators. We have another 6 due that hatched within the past 2 - 3 days, as well as 3 Speckled Sussex chicks, and another Barred Rock x Americauna x New Hampshire chick, that I'm hoping is a hen.

Poultry!

The Geese arrived, all 11 of them and its been busy ever since. We have hatchlings and 4 of the hens are currently brooding - they should be ready in probably another week or so, I'm hoping the hatch rate is good for these ladies.

Unfortunately, a snake got my broody duck's eggs, so now I need to figure out something else to do so she can raise a brood.

And we have, hopefully, a batch of Speckled Sussex, Marans and Delawares hatching within the next week, exciting times!

Kweeba!

The pup 4th from the top, Vorros, will be flying home to us on May 16th. Hubby and I are so besides ourselves!

An icelandic dog to go with icelandic sheep and soon to add icelandic chickens!

Now all we need is the horse :)
