Farm update!

We have been busy lately! I just turned 15 so we went out to lunch and shopped. I am having a birthday party this weekend so we are prepping for that. 
The birds are all getting so big! We had a bit of trouble with the Guinea hens this morning, one jumped put of the box we use to carry them from the coop to the outside enclosure! I chased that thing all around the woods, those guineas run so fast! After about 10 minutes it decided to hide in a patch if Green Briar ( in case you didn't know it's really thorny vines) in the end we got it safely back into the coop! 
They can roost so high up now!
The ducks are fully feathered and can now free range, but not go into the pond yet. They are still to little for that. They only like to stay by the house and hide under our deck 😄
That's all that's been going on for now.
 Hope you enjoyed reading!

Today we get pigs

After lunch today, we're driving a few hours to pick up the pigs. We're getting two Berkshire crosses today and one Kune-Kune on Sunday from a different place.  Dad has built the training pen behind the stove, you can see on the right there's the water and the far left is their house.  And, of course, Scotty named the two pigs,  Bop and Bonk 😂 Can anyone guess what those names are from?

We got ducks!

This morning, we got a phone call from the post office telling us that our ducks were there and ready to be picked up! We had purchased a special breed of ducks, crested pekins, and the only way to get them was to order them from out of state! It only took 2 days to get here and they came safe and sound!  They were freezing cold when we got them, so we immediately put them in there temporary house. Now they are warm, happy and being adorable!💗 Name the third duck challenge. Alright everyone! We are having a competition! We have two ducks already named, Mrs. Wimpy Dimple and Flippy Floppy. But we need one more name for the third duck! Write your answer in the comments and the winner will be chosen on May 27th! Thanks for reading and I can't wait to see everyone's names!
