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.

  3. i would have thought a stray cat would have eaten the ducklings. but maybe it's just hunting for sport because it can... i'm sorry.

  4. She must be looking for friends. Your chicken coops always look clean, so this will probably never be a problem for you, but sometimes other animals can get diseases if they live too closely with chickens. Yours have nice clean straw and lots of open spaces to run, so I bet Porkchop will be fine.
    I am sorry about your ducks. My baby bunny didn't make it and I can't even blog about it. Still hurts.
