Tuesday I went to town to pick up some free hens... they were silkies and white crested black polish plus 5 feeders, 5 waterers, feed, grit, oyster shell,
etc. Now all I have to do is feed them, water them, treat them, and so on. Free??

Then we took a drive to take a look at the 2 new horses we were given.
We were told that the mare was 7 but I'm thinkin she is OLDER than that. The filly is a 2 year old black and white paint and she is really a sweetie, so is the mare she just ain't 7 that's all. They are both good stout horses and seem to be what we want.
I can't wait til Sept 15th when we go up and bring them home.
They will be spendy cause hay is kinda high and with shoeing, worming, grain, floating, shots, YUP quite a deal I'd say.

You are so lucky!!! Free animals..how cool is that? I enjoy my chickens too Kya. They're good insect gitters and will clean out a flower bed a lot cleaner than I can! If I want a spot cleaned I'll take a hoe and hit a lick or two in that spot and when I come back it's all scratched and cleaned. I'm very fond of my chickens! LOL

My wife's brother and sister-in-law are like that. But they truly love their animals and the vet knows them quite well. In fact, some of the rescues have come from the vets.

A donkey tried to kill our cocker once but she managed to scoot under the fence just in time. That was about 50 years ago.
