Jordanscollected’s Hobby Farm
-
We always said we weren’t getting a rooster. No way no how. Then we got a request from an old family friend to take in a rooster who’s hens all died this summer. One picture and my mind changed.
This is “Zucchini” or “Zucch The Duke”. He’s a Silky Blue and he’s still recovering from fighting with our top hen for pecking order.
His best trait is using treats to lure women. If we give him a piece of grape, he drops it and calls the hens to come get his offering.

@jordanscollected i hope you never lose that feeling.

My wife took some incredible photos of the farm this morning.

Great photos! I love the lighting at this time of year. Thanks for sharing.

A few recent shots. It’s crazy we’ve been at the farm over a year now. Summer flew by and winter is nearly upon us again.
We got the cats fixed so they can wander about now. We had a few scares where they didn’t come back at dark but they always returned and it’s gotten easier to call them home.
The boy ducks have been reintegrated back into the flock after being “jailed” for mating too frequently with the younger ducks.
Now to get prepared for the cold weather and dark afternoons.

Beau recently was shod with pads on his front hooves. He suffers from White Line disease which causes some unwanted grown patterns of the bottom the hoof. He also has some arthritis which is normal for a horse his age (19).
The shoes seem to help a ton with his comfort on gravel roads and paths, and some with his arthritis.

Here is an update on my leather wrapped pool cue. I originally posted this when I had the Wabash tour chore coat. @Alex was kind enough to provide me a scrap of veg tan leather to create a custom pool cue wrap. It's taking on great color and showing zero signs of wear. thank you again Mr. Padmore and IHUK team who helped on this one.
The leather as new and installed
1.5 year update.
