I have to say - "Ouch! That had to hurt!" As we were discussing our newest find in the chicken coop and trying to decide how in the world a hen laid such a big egg, one of our younger children piped in that the rooster must have laid it because he's the biggest one out there! We cannot seem to convince this child that rooster's don't lay eggs. So far, I'm not sure if it's twins or what, but I'll give an update when we get enough eggs to have a meal. It will be an egg-citing celebration for sure!
This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...
