Hello lovelies,
I am not a good social media manager and 100% of the time I’m posting my farm content and piglet updates on my personal profile.
Please follow along there if you are interested in breedstock and farm updates.

Cuddled up to Mama (Kaikoura) all nice and warm. I use a calf hutch, filled with straw, attached plastic flaps on the entrance to reduce wind, and I attached a Kane heating mat to the back wall for some safe radiant heat during these sub-zero temperatures.

Nature’s mood ring.

If the tom’s head is Red, White, and Blue (like this photo) it is an indication that he is feeling confident and dominant; Can you envision the strut that goes along with this photo?

If he is more red, he is showing fear/submission. The only time Jerry-the-Jerk looks like that is when I have to tackle him and bodily force him to submit and acknowledge that I am the dominant “Tom” of the flock.(I do this anytime he postures toward myself or my girls, we dont like jerk/dominant roos or toms around here)

Royal Palm Turkey (hen), she is one of my “velociraptors”. I so enjoy listening to the turkeys converse. They have a wide range of noises they use to communicate, and their “puts” are my favorite.This sound is used to alert the flock to a stranger/predator, it sounds like a question given their body language and I feel it is used as an alert along with curiosity.

Proud of myself, I set-up two farrowing pens this weekend in preparation for litters expected in June.
I just have to have to add mounds of fresh hay for the sows to make their nest with.
