Porkchop is Palmer sister.
She is also very beautiful. She and Palmer are more laid back out of all the pigs. Porkchop likes pets and belly rubs, but she likes to do it when she wants to as to where Palmer will just come over when you enter their pen.
We will also be breeding her. Seeing her piglets will be fun also.

Palmer will be a year old at the end of May.
Her coloring is beautiful she is red. When the sunlight hits her, she has gold coming through. My kids say she looks like a hotdog. 🤣 I can’t wait to breed her and see what coloring the piglets have.

Doris is my Red Shoulder Yokohama hen. I’ve been wondering when she would start to lay.
My friend and I thought it would be around May, but I had a wonderful surprise today when I went out to check on things.
Doris laid her first egg!
1639 to 1854 – almost all of the Edo period – Japan was effectively closed to foreign trade. Under the Convention of Kanagawa of 1854, there were five ports that were to be constructed for trade with the rest of the world. One of these was Yokohama!
Seven among the goods exported to Europe were traditional Japanese long-tailed chickens; the first documented export was in 1864. In that year, some of the birds reached the Jardin Zoologique d’Acclimatation in Paris, where they were named Yokohama for their port of origin.
