My Beautiful Princess Porkchop

Freezer Camp Boys are wondering how the heck she broke out & I think they are lookin for ways to break out too!

Porkchop lovin up on me... lookin for fuzz to eat! She loves fuzz, lol

Guess she wants to go play with the dogs...

That didnt last long...

Then she had to go check out the bantam tractor

Ooo look she must have found some crumbs...

shes got a great sniffer

Dont think Rooster Boy likes her in his house, eatin his food, lol

This pig is so freakin smart, she knows... she walked right over to the gate & was waitin for me to open it to let her back into the barnyard!

See ya later Porkchop
Be good & stay in your own yard!

Yeah Right ;)

Milk Jug Winter Workout...

Oooo yeah. Its that time of year again... & I'm not happy about it, lol. Frozen water, carrying milk jugs full of nice warm water out for the barnyarn animals... Maybe one day when I get rich off my Crochet By Jen I'll come up with a better system but until then I try to think of it as a free workout.

So do you do the Milk Jug Winter Workout Too?

Hoof Trimming, Lard & Goat Ice Cream

Had company today...

Sarah (Thickin' and Thinnin' at Goodwife Farm) & her family came to visit & she trimmed hoofs for me, which I'm thankful for.

She also brought me a lil gift today... lard she had rendered earlier this week. I think that was so sweet of her. I can wait to use it, think I might have to made some kind of pie sometime soon. I sent her home with 2 quarts of goats milk so they would have some hm goat ice cream, speakin of hm goat ice cream...

They brought their ice cream maker & we made some tonight...
Its soooo good.

(One of my cousins & her family was over too & they loved the ice cream)

Cinnamon & Sugar 2011 Molt

Poor girls are goin through their yearly molt, right on time.

They look pitiful & it looks painful.

Actually alot of my girls are molting right now and I've had a huge drop in my egg supply... some days I'm only gettin 3, 5 maybe 9 eggs from almost 30 hens & 2 duck hens (havent seen a duck eggs in weeks, month). Hope they get back to layin soon, we need eggs! I do have 6 pullets that should start layin any day. I dont think they have started yet, I havent caught any in the nest boxes. Then my other 2 duck hens should start layin any day now too.

Molting in 2010: HERE
