From the Six Arrows Farm Update this week:
"We have both turkeys and chicks growing in the brooders, but not together. They are very different even at this young age. You can tell from the pictures that their respective personalities are unique. Cheerful or Austere, Fluffy or Fuzzy, Simple or Clever, Absent or Curious. The incredible diversity that reigns in even the world of poultry is wonderful testament to the infinite mind of the Creator."

The Pigs

Those comical, roly-poly India Rubber barrels of mischief.

With their inquisitive beady little eyes, odd, almost pugnacious, round noses, and droll legs on "high heels," they are enough to make anyone chuckle. I love the chorus of grunts I am greeted with every time I walk to their fence.

Want some Candies?

Onions that is.

Some more new babies...

This is Una...A very loved and spoiled kitty. She is an "only kitty."
And this is a nameless chick...there are over 80 of them, so we decided not to name them. They are cute too though. These are the last chicks we will have this year!

"Pigaerator Pork!"

Ever seen pigs in a more beautiful environment?While taking this picture I was marveling at the number of human labor hours it would have taken to get the woods to look this way!
