Ducklings in the Breezeway

 Over the last couple of weeks, we had 9 ducklings, 2 chicks, and 1 Royal Palm turkey hatch in the incubator.  An additional 60+ ducklings have hatched under sitting mama ducks.





Great Pyrenees Adopts Anchored Farms

I went out to do chores on 1 April, and there was a stray Great Pyrenees laying by the barn breezeway.  I first thought it was Kordu, who had broke free, but Kordu was right where he was supposed to be. This stray was very hesitant to approach me, but eventually did when I offered him food.  

He is an amazing guard dog when it comes to the house and people.  He doesn't mess with the adult farm birds or animals, but he did kill a baby chicken, so we can't let him be around the baby birds for a while.

Alisa said he looks like a polar bear, so the family has named him "Po".

 So, we finally processed the first Boer wether and it produced 44 lbs of packaged meat.
