Spring doesn't just mean panting and field work.  Spring is also when the animal population on our farm greatly increases.

Five new piglets have arrived and are making their home under the apple trees in the orchard.

We are still getting all of our laying hens on pasture.  One third will spend their summer in the old egg mobile (nicknamed chitty chitty bang bang).  One third will spend the summer in the barn with free range of the farm everyday.  One third will spend the summer in the orchard inhabiting this Chicken Palace.
