Before I begin, I just want to say that @micah wotring made me do this. I mentioned I was thinking about starting a journal, and he made a ridiculous claim that left me no option but to start a journal as soon as I could. And that is now. 
Now, I probably won't be very good at this, cuz I'm not sure exactly what to say. Ask me questions? lol
Anyway! My name is Abigail. I'm a Christian teen girl and I live in Brazil with my family - mom, dad and seven little brothers and sisters. I'm from the USA, but we moved here about five years ago. My parents chose Brazil mainly because of church; I guess we're missionaries.
I love animals and farm life, even though what we have isn't exactly a farm! Lol. Right now, we have 1 IB peacock, 2 guineas, 4 Muscovies, 50+ chickens (mainly mutts, EEs and banties), a ton of tilapia, koi, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 4 dogs and 2 cows. I used to have a pet burrowing owl (he was a rescue) and Coturnix quail for eggs.
I'm usually hatching - it's so fun, and I love genetics, especially chicken and rabbits! We only have 2 rabbits right now, but this week we should be getting more. Our plan is to breed for meat and possibly sell some, which is exciting (I think so, anyway!)! They're meat mixes - one might have some Silver Fox. The cows are Jerseys, but they're not exactly the classic color. One is six or seven years old and she is pregnant, due in early September (I think - need to check the calendar. Again. Lol). The other is our heifer, her daughter who will be 1 yo come June 19. She's very sweet and my avy is her at six days old! I am not currently milking since our cow is dry. Can't wait to get back into it!
The dogs are my favorite! By far my favorite all time animal - I'm a dog person through and through. We have two brother/sister pairs. Two are three years old, they are Border Collie mixes. Their beautiful mom was my first dog. The other two are mutts who were abandoned here - I think they're around eight months old...I forget exactly. All are pets and family/farm guards. We might be giving one of the puppies to a friend soon because my parents would rather have just three dogs.
I'm the caretaker of all the critters, though one of my brothers does like to feed the fish. I LOVE photography, but due to internet I won't be able to post pics nearly as much as I'd like.
We also have a lot of fruits and veggies growing here but I'm less involved with those. I want to start doing more of them this year. Right now we're getting close to winter, and while it doesn't snow or anything here, it does get pretty chilly!
Well, I guess that just about covers it! I'll be trying to post some pics soon, probably tomorrow.
P. S. Good enough, Micah?
