Dear lord! I'm certain those pigs weigh more than me-but still they are very cute I can't have one near that big! Neighbors would turn me in. They already think I'm crazy.
Thanks for posting the pics!

Oh! One more question for you pig owners. Do they try and run away?

Before I got my fancy gate I would have to run after the chickens and shoo them back up the driveway. People saw So far just them, a shihtzu and two saltwater tanks. But I have big plans.

I have chickens, correction have a chicken now. My wife thinks they are pointless. I think she is letting dogs get them when I'm gone. she says she's not though.

My 3 hens give me about 2 eggs a day. I will keep them for that alone. But one is brooding and hogging the laying bucket. I like to watch them walk around like little velociraptors and hunt bugs. Never gets old. Especially humorous when one of them gets something good and the other two chase her.

Yes, she has been known to escape. She heads out looking for food. She has a couple of homes that she can find food at, so she goes there first. She will evade as she escapes. Hiding from us if we are looking for her. the neighbors call if she gets out...

You must have big dogs my shihtzu is scared of the chickens. But he also eats apples off the apple tree and turns his nose up at raw meat. Squats too.

Had big dogs. They were the dumbest dogs I have ever been around in my life. They were lab and some shepherd mix. My little 5 lb terrier would own them. It is hilarious watching him when the hens are in the yard. He will run by them barking and they will chase him. They are some mean little bitches.

Also, make sure your goat doesn't overeat. I have a cousin in Pennsylvania that has a few and one of her's got into a bag of food and ate wayyyyyyyy too much. So much that he was damn near obstructed, where he couldn't poo. They had to take him to a vet and get his stomach pumped before he got obstructed.

Just wanted to mention that, just so you know. They'll eat and eat and eat..... like Pac-Man.

Before you buy the goat, you may want to check to make sure that they didn't restrict farm animals in the building restrictions for your neighbor hood
