Went to a swap meet yesterday to sell some chicks. I had 2 brooders going in the garage! Well I sold all my chicks and came home with a piglet, 3 lionhead babies, another rooster and a pair of scovies.

Looks like sunshine for most of the week. Hawk the chicken is broody again (she lost all her chicks last month because of the rain.) So I gave her some duck eggs to sit on lol Will candle those Thursday. Have another swap on the 6th so hoping to get rid of some more birds. Lighten my load and feed bill.

Patricia the pig has been getting 1-1 1/2 cups of food a day plus apples and romaine lettuce. Today she looked a bit thinner than norm. I'm going to up her feed to 2 1/2 cups a day. I've also been giving her pig minerals over her feed. Her skin and hair look healthier. Not as flakey and dry.

Coconut oil in her feed will also help her skin

I read that somewhere. But it was more expensive here so that's why I ended up with the minerals. But if I ever cant find the minerals at a decent price I have a backup

Walmart brand is cheap and they have a two pack even cheaper

Really? The cheapest I found at my store was still $8. They didn't have very many different ones. But I'm out in the boonies.

I'm very frustrated. I had a friend buy a baby rabbit from me last month. I gave them a bag of food to transition and explained a few things about care. Most were common sense things. Food, water, be cautious when it gets too hot out, and supervised playtime. I told them that rabbits dig (duh) and that is partially why ground time needs to be supervised, the other reason was predators.

So they sent me a message today because they wanted another rabbit just like the one they got. Why? Because they turned the rabbit loose in a pen and it got out. Their dogs killed it.
I dont have anymore rabbits like that and even if I did they would not get one from me. I just cant believe how careless people can be.
