FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

How beautiful! Congrats on the amazing deal you got!! Looks like they're settling in just fine.

Saying goodbye to the chickens officially today.

I kept nine. Two roosters, seven hens.

I kept the bobwhite quail.

Everything else has been shoved into these tiny cages for their journey.

I sold off most of the rest of the flock in pairs. Trios. This woman wants everything I have left. She's a wonderful lady, I feel comfortable with my decision in her. We're picking up the pigs today as well. Doing a trailer bump in a parking lot at our halfway point. Hope everything goes smoothly....

So sorry you are saying goodbye, I can't imagine what you are going though.

A big and drastic change. I know it's not the ideal situation you'd have liked, but it sounds like it was a decision you were willing to make to move forward. Glad you were able to place your birds with good people and it wasn't a "fire sale", life or death situation. Hope everything goes well with your trailer bump and the new porker pick up goes smooth.

How are the new pups doing? They are so beautiful! I love their different coats and faces

Everyone, meet Bertha and Bart. Ignore the little pig. She's not for us, picked her up for a friend.

Nice pigs, congrats!

We got the pigs home and unloaded. They were very happy to be out of the trailer after a day of traveling. The trailer bump went uneventful. They walked right in, with the aids of hog sticks.

Like my temporary water can? To dark to get the water set up. Seems we forgot a step... Oops! This will get them until morning. There's another, lower bucket for them to drink out of at the house I'll install tomorrow.
