And this is how it sounds and looks when it's not feeding time😉🧙🏼
The animals calm me.
Nielsie tries to get attention any chance he can. He loves rubs and cuddles. 🐏

I think I did washing last week Sunday or Monday. Due to the cold air every day we miss the window of where it's just right to take off because it's gotten wet again.
It's finally off.
My ADHD is completely out of control 🤣🤣🤣
Now it has to be packed away.

My bantams are laying really well again. They love to lay under the straw bale.
We are not complaining. Yesterday I went to checkers that recently opened here by us and I nearly fell on my back when I saw the price of eggs. We haven't bought eggs in forever.
Honestly I can't go back to that.
Bought some olive oil yesterday. We have so much basil I'm going to make a basil pesto for us. Feeling cool, might make us a mint pesto as well!😉🧙🏼🧙🏻‍♀️

Not sure what to expect when you have a homestead full of animals?
This is what every morning looks and sounds like before feeding time!
Turkeys, chickens, ducks and pigs!
up the sound!

Got a new baby pig from someone. She's so cute. When pigs squel it sounds murderous, but it's not really that bad. All we were doing was trying to catch her to bring her home to us!

We went away a bit for the weekend and it was so good.
As good as it was, we love being back. First thing we did as we got back was to check in on the animals.

One of my bantam hens fell in the water somehow. So took her out immediately and started drying her. And then we saw her crop. It was soft and super swollen. We immediately removed her and isolated her. I started massaging her crop and all the ick started coming out. Gave her some fresh water with apple cider vinegar and keeping her warm.
She is looking alot better but we will do this exercise tomorrow morning again. But alot came out. So grateful. I hate losing any of my animals.
The good, the bad and the ugly. All this forms part of the Homesteading experience.

If you don't know this about me, I really love needlework. I'm quite a domesticated girl. Quickly made this today, first try, really actually out of my head and I absolutely love it! Dog fleece jacket! I didn't have any ribbing, I have, but couldn't find it and used my elastic instead.
Whoop whoop!

Daisy's stomach has gone alot smaller. It's not even hanging anymore. Now I don't know at all if there are more babies to come after the last stillborn. We were so looking forward to little piglets, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻
