    Two of the pigs are going to the market on Dec. third. The two we are going to bring in are about 220 lbs. Uncle Brad is going to bring the other 4 in on Dec. 16th. It is hard to keep animals in the winter.

Pigs constantly communicate with each other. They have a range of different oinks, grunts and squeals which have distinct meanings.

Guinea Hens

I got these 6 guinea hens on Sep. 14th. I got them from the farmer down the road. We put then in the old chicken coop. We had to put fence over the guinea yard, so they don't get out. Because guineas need to be in a in closed area, for a while, other wise they will not stick around if you let them out. We will let them out in the spring, and if they go near the pool we will scare them away. I am mad because 2 of them already died.         

  **CHICKEN FACT**The guinea fowl is a large wild bird that is natively found inhabiting a variety of habitats across the African continent. Today, the guinea fowl has been introduced to various countries around the world as it is farmed by humans.
