I'm a Lurker also. My grandmother is Pa Dutch and she was raised on a large farm. Til grandpa
took her off to the Big city LOL
Growing up we always had critters of some type at home. We raised racing pigeons & show pigeons had
the occacional chicken and duck. Grew up with horse's . Had my first when I was 4 a stallion named"Blackie" my dad would help at the farm and give the owner some birds for board on the horses.
My last horse "Dakota" was my baby. When I had to find him a new home. I let Dakota pick his new Mom
and he did a Great job. Sue was a great new mom for him. We lost Dakota last year after 32 Great years
Hopefully one day I will have another horse and Im planing on some chickens & pigeons once we get
settled in RI
I Love reading all your farm critter stories
