NerdCake Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Why hello, I'm Jesseka, you can call me Jess. I live in NS, Canada (Very cold, winter makes having animals a struggle. lol) Last year we started out hobby farm and I have big plans for the future! So indoors we have: 1 Cat (Diesel, grey 10 years old) 2 Dogs (German Shepard/lab mix and a German Shepard/everything mix lol) 4 guinea pigs! (2 girls in one cage and 2 boys in another cage) Outside: 2 Cows, Momma and her baby. 7 Chickens but I have an order in for 13 more in the spring. Also I hope one of my hens will want to lay on eggs so we can have lots of babies 😄 Future plans: Goats (maybe) pony (maybe) Lots more chickens. Meat kings (bigger chickens for uh, ya know. :') ) Momma cow will have a baby every year for the next 3 to 4 years. She's such a good momma ❤️ Pigs are also a maybe! 1
SulisRayne Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Oh wow a farm! The dream life~ lol Do you personally take care of them or do you need helpers at this point? 1
NerdCake Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 I do it all lol It's a lot of work But I enjoy it. I'd like to make an income from it someday. I already sell eggs through the summer, I lost a lot of my pretty birds though so I had to stop for the winter, that's why I have more coming. My fiancé has been helping me quite a bit while he's had time off work though, which I am forever grateful for. I hate winter. lol 1
SulisRayne Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 That sounds like a lot of fun tbh. Kinda like a dream for an animal lover lol

I look forward to photos. I wonder how if it will be as difficult as my rooster can be at times. 🦊

Sad. The bull is not a pet? Such is life. Will you do the deed or pay someone else to step in? 🦊

It doesn't bother me but I understand it does bother some. I've grown up in farm area though so I've grown desensitized to it. 1

Just the middle part between the animal and the plate that erks me a little. If I had to I guess I could. 🦊
