Jordanscollected’s Hobby Farm

@jordanscollected what’s the price for pullets out your way? If egg prices are up I’m sure they are too. I guess it answers the age old question of which came first.

@WhiskeySandwich we have 7 ducks, 2 males and 5 females. The 3 small ones are the ones we just got and the one male was trying to mate super aggressively. We have 6 chickens and they are house separate but they free range together.
The new ducks and chicken were $35 each and the money goes towards 4-H so we are happy to pay the prices.

Artemis update!
I can now pet her, but only when sitting on or kneeling near this rocking chair. She will not allow to be touched anywhere else in the barn. This week she jumped up onto my lap for the first time.
She also ran through an open door in the barn a couple weeks ago and made about a dozen dead sprint laps around the barn scared before we corralled her back in. That was an adrenaline rush for the entire farm.

Good to hear she’s slowly coming along.

A few updates from the farm.
We had a local guy build us a shed we will eventually be using for goats. Need to get fencing in first. No I’m not sure I actually want goats.
We’re slowly build some obstacles for the horses to climb on and over. Nola has done well, Beau has been an asshole about it.
We picked up a swing to hang from a tree near the round pen, and the sunsets haven’t disappointed.
I figured how to meet the auto pet door opened and I rigged up a kennel so the kittens can see out, and the chickens can see in. It’s called the window to the world.

I like the swing!

@motojobobo Thanks! It faces directly West, and we sit on it until the sun fades over the horizon every night these days.

Last weekend we celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with a get together at the farm. I smoked Teres Majors, made herb deviled eggs, salad and Tiramisu, and my wife baked raspberry pie and mixed berry fragipane tart. We also catered in her favorite Indian dishes, Shahi paneer and Chicken Biryani. In the photo with Allie and I, you can see me yelling “Everyone please leave by 9” during the singing of Happy Birthday.
