The second hatching of dorkings chicks went into the chicken tractor built almost entirely from recycled materials. The chicken tractor with no bottom is moved daily to a new patch of ground so the chickens can forage for grass and insects.

Chicken Tractor
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011Sudbury Minutemen Colonial Faire at the Wayside Inn
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
We packed up Clovelly (our Milking Devon) and her bull calf, Henry and our nifty split rail fenced pen and spent the day at the Wayside Inn watching the re-enactment of the changing of the militia colonel and listening to a dozen fife and drum corps playing for the crowds. Clovelly and Henry got a lot of attention.

Pigs at Breakneck Hill Farm

This year we have four pigs. A Gloucester Old Spot (middle), a Tamworth (right) and a couple Yorkshire crosses (left and back). They will hopefully be foraging for a lot of their own food.
