Well, this is the first meeting, nose to nose for Dusty and Neche. They have been talking over a distance of about 30 feet since we got Neche.
Since today was a first ride for Neche, Bev and I, we decided to take a swing by Dusty’s area and let them meet close up.
They did fine till Dusty sorta forgot about the electric wire and got a bit too close. He spooked, but came right back and all was good again. It will be easier to put them in the same turn out area and have stalls right next to each other after meeting like this.
I rode Neche around the Round Pen for about 15 minutes and then took her outside the pen and rode down the road. She did fine.

The dreaded day has arrived and I am going to get my first lesson of living on a farm. Remember I am a city gal and never experienced slaughtering a chicken before. My education continues. Last night after our 35 young chickens went in to the hen house, we raided the “Roos”. We gathered 11 and put them in a Doberman sized cage. Didn’t feed them but gave them water. (no bread either)
This morning we spent getting the cleaning station all set up with needed equipment. Shari and I will take care of the outside work, and mom will take care of the inside part. Bev is going to be hiding, otherwise she said she wouldn’t be able to eat them.
Needless to say, there will be no pictures of this adventure. Those of you who have experienced this sometime in your life will know what is involved.
Just another part of farm life I guess. An education and new experience to say the least.
