Pig in coop... Farm Friend Friday

Well princess of the barnyard decided the other night that she is now sleepin in the coop with the chickens, lol. She squeezed her fat crack in a little chickie door! So the other evening after dinner Brian & I went out & made the chickie door bigger... didnt want to go out there one day & find princess Porkchop stuck! Last night I went in to check on 3 hens that had eggs hatchin & seen that Porkchop had taken over one of the bottom nest boxes..... life is so entertaining livin on a farm, my animals are always makin me smile :)

I do have sad news... I hate this part of farm living. 3 ducklings died Wed. night, 1 was missing & 2 I found dead by the chicken runs. The momma is the one with the nest under our shed & thats where she took her 3 to sleep, so I dont know if it was the storms or something (like a stray cat, been seeing alot lately) attacked em. Very sad.

The barnyard animals & their own area

We finally got the back yard fenced in for most of the barnyard animals to hang out & free range in all day. I love it. They have everything they need... shelter, water, free food, shade to cool off in. Its really nice to go down & hang out with them under the shade trees. We had to also put an electric fence around all of it but the back fence, Porkchop figured out she could escape after about a week. The day we put the electric fence up she got shock about 4 different times... She learned her lesson & wont go near the fence now, lol.














I've been hangin out with the animals & gettin some really cute pics. to share. The bantams (that live in the bantam tractor) get to free range in the big yard in the evenings, a few chickens/ducks can & do fly over & hang out in the big yard all day.
