thanks everybody! i’m usually not one of those activist people, and horses are my favorite animals (thats how i found the site) but the horses aren’t going to be killed if they can’t find homes, but the pigs will.

What do you think of this? Owning about 5 cats, 2 newfoundlands, a sheltie…..?

What do you think of this? Owning about 5 cats, 2 newfoundlands, a sheltie, a corgi, 10 horses, 5 mini goats, 5 sheep, 2 bunnies, 3 birds,
10 alpacas, a chicken, a potbellied pig, a rooster and a cow.
Full house isn’t it. I don’t have all these yet I was just wondering if these
animals will get along if properly raised?
I forgot about fish. I plan on having a
50 gal. tank with a variety of tropical fish.
Ok, so I’ll have 4 chickens instead of one.

question on keeping chickens?

so we are moving very soon to a house on five acres. we are definitely getting chickens. i want about 10 of these breeds (10 all together): ri reds, banned rock, and buff orpingtons, and easter eggers. i also want some silkies. all of them would be hens but i want a silkie rooster because i want to breed silkies for fun, but not alot. i dont want the rooster to breed with any of the other hens so should i make him his own little ark pen. i dont want him to be lonley so should i keep one of the silkie hens with him that i want him to breed with or would he be fine alone. also, the big group of hens will be free range around the property during the day and in a large chicken coop/tractor at night or if they need to go inthere other times on their own. the rooster (and possibly the silkie hen that goes with him) could be free range because of the reason i listed above. will they be sad or cage crazy (could i put them in my pig yard with a potbellied pig? thanks!
lol ya i could just let her brood her eggs and take the others

I sent my cat to live in a barn. He was peeing in the house. I miss him. Did I do the right thing?

We found a great farm for him, and there is a family there to give him food. There is also a potbellied pig and chickens in a chicken coop. He will have a good life there, and since he’s not ‘adoptable’ in a shelter setting due to his age (12 years) and potty habits, there weren’t many other options for him. (He does know how to be outside, and also how to catch mice). This way, I didn’t have to put him to sleep. That would have been hard for me to live with. But I still feel guilty about sending him away and worry he’ll feel sad. Did I do the right thing?
His potty habits had been going on for years and getting worse. I’ve had years to try to think about what do to about this. We also have two young children now, and the final straw was that he was peeing on their toys. It was a behavoral thing, and not something that could be fixed despite having him checked by a doctor, and trying other of the usual suggestions.
And his *is* neutered.
Farm family are kind people that my mother-in-law knows.

Territorial Marking or just being Stubborn????

I have a male potbellied pig that is NOT yet neutured! He is about 6 weeks old! Sometimes he goes in the litter box and then other times he goes wherever he pleases…mainly on carpets and rugs, i even caught him going on the pillow where he sleeps! So is he marking his territory or just being stubborn?

Pot bellied piglets?

I live in Eastern Washington and am looking to acquire a potbellied pig. Although I know of some reputable breeders throughout the country I am looking to find one close to home to avoid the necessity to ship the animal and cause undue stress.
Any breeders in the Spokane/Walla Walla/ Yakima area?
