Welcome to this great site, I'm you will not regret joining. A big welcome from West Wales, right down by the sea. We have 2 cows eaxh with a calf at foot, 2 lambs, 28 chucks, 5 pigs, 2 rheas, and a little dog. We also have 2 motorbikes but they seldom see the light of day at the moment due to all these animals.

I think the whole thing is addictive, were all obsessed with making the most of our property/land and the animals are just fab, our Shetland pony foal even rolls over for her tummy rubbing  ;D

10 mins spent with the animals is the best de-stesser ever!

Liking the idea of incubating!
