Tomi the Goose was feeling rather maternal this morning and was nestled down under the hutch protecting her "brood." Her brood consisted of three duck eggs and one chicken egg! She has been laying, but this time things didn't sync up. As her ducky companions had already left the enclosure and headed for the front yard, I scooped her up and aided in a sweet reunion at the back gate. The start of another perfect day at Friendly Farms! ❤️🪿 ... See MoreSee Less
Monday was vet day this week. Mocha had another episode of her belly cyst bursting last week, and Softy had a worrisome lump on his neck, so we asked if there was space in the schedule for them a day early. 🩺
Mocha’s cyst removal looks like a quick and easy surgery, so we will get that done in a few weeks. Thankfully it closed up soon after the blood bath and should be stable again for awhile. 🤎🐹
Softy’s lump was a jaw abscess. Dr. Thomas gave him a complete dental as well as cleaning out the abscess. His incisors were uneven and his molars were growing over his tongue, so he needed extensive work. He’s cheerful and attempting to eat, but until his teeth grow back a little, we’ll supplement his meals with syringe feeding to make sure he gets enough food. Thankfully he loves the syringe feeding formula! 💛🐹

A nightly ritual we have here at Friendly Farms is a "Chicken Check" as two of our girls like to hang out on the hutch pen instead of voluntarily going into the coop with the others. Marilu will go in with coaxing but Opal prefers limousine service. ❤️🐓🌘 ... See MoreSee Less
Bonding day. Penny is a bit of a pistol and poor Softy was completely overwhelmed by her, so we are trying her with Midnight and Cookie instead.
Midnight immediately set the rules, and now they are smoothing out the rough edges. Midnight still gets her hackles up from time to time, but Penny is being properly deferential to her elders now.
I survived taking care of 2 pairs of piggies - my 1st experience with them, interesting litl critters 😁
Yes we’ve had piggies that are a bit over the top with everyone they are introduced to and they need that special pig that will even things out. Crossing fingers this works! Good luck!
Please join us in welcoming Penny! This sweet little girl is about 8 months old. We were asked to take her, as her humans were having difficulty rehoming her after finding out that one of them is allergic to her. 🤧
Penny will take some time to settle in, and then we’ll see if she and Softy are a good match. 💘 ... See MoreSee Less
