Every day my family and I are learning what it means to run a hobby farm. We started with chickens then added myotonic (fainting) goats, and eventually kunekune (kune kune) pigs. Throw in some Guinea fowl and cats and dogs with a creek and tons of wildlife and you start to get an idea of what our hobby farm is like. Hobby farming is time consuming and hard, but rewarding and fulfilling. There are daily chores that never stop. The animals need to be fed and watered. Pastures and pens need to be fenced and built. Goats and pigs need to be rotated in their pastures to give them fresh food and to rejuvenate the land. Food is planted and grown for the animals. Medicines are given orally and injected to prevent and cure sickness and combat parasites. Hooves need to be trimmed. Babies need to be raised. At any given time we have gilts, sows, boars, piglets, bucks, does, kids, chicks, chickens, etc. that need our attention, love and care. Follow along and we’ll learn together.
Hey, i saw a bunch of turkey videos and remembered you said you kinda liked your first try with them. I knew it's big bird but 30+ kg? Damn they can be big. 5 something months of age. Also people say the bigger the bird the better the meat, somehow i always thought the opposite.
You need to hit the gym to withstand the kune power. Also i think tusk trimming is nothing special after watching a bunch of videos. Pawpaw is quite friendly for a big boar and deserves more hugs from you if not these tusks.
Your animals are pretty.. cylindrical, chubby. Good looking fatties. How did you do that if seemingly you feed them not much. Pigs do not have a full bowl of food in their area or something.
How old are your kunekune pigs? We got one and he is like over 200lbs...he's very destructive...tears up fence and chewed up his wood 6x 8 chicken coop...
@@angelasalah2626 at the time several.were about a year old and one 18 months. I've had them all since piglets and handled them a lot. I have a boar and sow that are well over 200 lbs and they are gentle giants. They haven't been destructive, but they have a nice pasture area and are fed regularly. Does he have a friend? KK's need companions. Maybe he is trying to tell you he is frustrated without a friend. 🤥
Title in the news: "Crazy farmer uses his teenage daughter to carry livestock" 😛 Goats are weird. No problem with hooftrimming but will bully each other to death.
I had a brown chicken that would lay massive eggs all the time sometimes it would have extra shell growth like little fragments that looked like it was trying to do another shell around it idk much about chickens but I'm sure it's fine
If you kill a farm animal, you start a new life. Conversely, if you don't kill, it means that someone will never be born. So basically it's a dilemma, let one animal live for 5 years and four animals live for 0 years or let five animals live for 1 year each. This is the harsh truth of life and not killing is not a better option, as you can see.
You can test your eggs by doing the float test to see how old they are. If I find a stash like that I checked them in any that are totally at the bottom I keep if they float even a tiny bit then I go ahead and feed them to other animals.
