I løbet af 2012 skal vi have høns og et par grise. Vi har besluttet os for at få 5-6 stykker Australorps høns. Vi har besluttet os for denne race, da den er en glimrende æglægger og meget kødfuld. Ideen er at bruge hønsene både til æg og til kød (når de ikke længere lægger æg).
Grisene skal vi have i løbet af foråret, og de kommer fra Skovgrisen tæt ved Svaneke. De kommer til at gå på friland og leve et så frit liv, det kan lade sig gøre i fangenskab. Grisene skal slagtes i løbet af efteråret, så vi ikke har grise om vinteren.
On this page I will post about the animals on our farm. At the moment we have two dogs, two cats, five horses, four goats and three sheep. Two of the goats are pregnant and are expected to deliver in February. The sheep have a visitor at the moment, a ram, that we call Jack. He doesn't have a name, just a number. So while he is staying with us, we'll call him Jack. We are hoping for spring lambs.
We will be getting some chicken and a couple of pigs this year. We have decided to get 5 or 6 Australorps, because they are very good egg layers and very meaty. The idea is to use them both for eggs and for meat (when they no longer produce eggs).
The pigs will arrive in the spring, and they are from a pig farmer called Skovgrisen near the town of Svaneke. They will be free range and live as free a life as possible when in captivity. The pigs will be going to slaughter in the autumn, so that we don't have any pigs in winter.
