The hatchlings are to replace my older hens. Any roosters in the bunch will be raised then butchered and used as "stewing hens". They have a wonderful flavour for stews, fricots and rappie pies.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272909221294270344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-18756067606555144292010-03-28T10:55:54.575-03:002010-03-28T10:55:54.575-03:00It does take a lot of work to keep a hobby farm go...It does take a lot of work to keep a hobby farm going (I say hobby because we all have outside jobs).<br /><br />Your piglets look nice and sturdy. And yes it will be hard to eat Ol' Otis this fall. <br /><br />What are you going to do with all your hatchlings? <br /><br />I'm going to try some garlic this year. I'm told the flavor is a lot stronger than store bought. Is that true?Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363876851539226250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-51733671096032861422010-03-27T23:17:11.266-03:002010-03-27T23:17:11.266-03:00Hi Lisa, I understand what you say about being so ...Hi Lisa, I understand what you say about being so busy! You farm is awesome ~ I've been talking to my husband about calves like Otis, but I really don't think I'd be able to butcher and eat my "babies". My husband keeps telling me that after the first animal or two I will not get as attached. I don't know, Otis is just so cute! And the chicks, they, too, are cute. My husband has been wanting more chicks, I've been putting him off, reminding him how they'd be more work for us. But I keep seeing other people's chicks these days, and I think I'm going to give in & raise some more chicks soon! Take care, thanks for the smiles from your farm!<br />~LynnRazzberry Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644607616585345473noreply@blogger.com
