Life seems to have gone off the rails for a bit, there has been far to much loss in our lives lately & we haven't been posting.

Despite our best negotiating efforts & using all the tactics we know of princess DaffyLynn is refusing to give up the hostages that were due for release yesterday. Hopefully she will let them go before midnight/3am tonight, we're all pooped staying up all hours watching the cam to check on this 1st time mama. #kunekunepigs #registeredpigs #akkps #piglets #pigsofinstagram #EverAfterHomestead #trishline x #mahialove #freethepiglets

Our newest poultry project & our 2nd #heritagebreed the #houdan. The livestock conservancy currently lists them as threatened. They are related to the polish breed but are unique in that they have 5 toes & a beard. They are a dual purpose bird & we look forward to hatching & raising some. So far they have been a fun smart & sweet breed to handle #backyardchickensofinstagram #chicken

Time goes by to fast. Our sweet #kunekunepigs will be 4 months old in 4 days! We just love these little porkers. #EverAfterHomestead #piglets #pigsofinstagram #oinkoink #farmher #farmlife
