chicks & piglets
With spring arriving here in NH, the farm part of Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm is starting to come alive a bit more. Five piglets moved in last Monday, two dozen chicks arrived on Wednesday, another horse (a pony, actually) is supposed to arrive this week (to share the barn and pasture with the two horses and llama already in residence), and later this spring there’s supposed to be another batch of piglets, two cows (each expected to calve this fall), and possibly more chickens….
Our kids have really enjoyed visiting and helping take care of the chicks and piglets. (We grown-ups have too!) Our kids have been particularly happy to do their part helping get these new neighbors accustomed to human interaction.
Here are some photos of our latest morning visit with the chicks and piglets….
It’s especially entertaining to watch the piglets eating. The runt (Little Brad) usually climbs right into the bowl that they all share from, and all the piglets go nuts, pushing and shoving and flipping each other around as they all try to get at the food. The first time our daughter watched all this, she could stop laughing only long enough to say, “They’re rude!”
