Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Where would we put the webcam Bullwinkle? I suspect we would only get the soil profile as his head was buried up to his ears in the sheep manure around my passionfruit vine this morning. Are thre waterproof webcams as yesterday a rather large puppy at our house nosed up under Brads back legs and sent hime diving in to the fish pond, we all had a good laugh. I went and got the video camera in case we could get it to happen again, Brad got his own back and pushed Brutus, half way in to the pond, even though Brutus is at leat twice the size of Brad. and that I did get on video.

Youtube movie or it didnt happen

Just really missing one we had to rehouse when we moved, so yes always.

I always though a hat cam would be nice. But you would get a lot of macro shots of dirt.

A pig would probably appreciate a hat.

We would throw a blanket over him at night in winter, and he'd sometimes wear it for the rest of the day.

A sombrero I think would be best, with a web cam under the rim

Bump, how is brad pigg going Faye? is he spit size yet:)

ahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahahaha I missed that one - Im actually crying hahahaaha

Here he is Charlie
He used to travel to and from work everyday, but he as he didn't like heights, I always used to have to wait for him to jump or be pushed from the car. Putting his harness on was an effort and lifting him into the car was becoming more challenging.
He is pretty pig headed and when I told him it was time to go to work, he would defiantly run in the other direction. Snout down and bum up.
He lived with the chickens at work, but would rather swim in their water than drink it. He started to damage the fence, scratching and got moved to solitary confinement. When he wanted food, which was all the time, he would run along the perimeter and squeal like a child having a tantrum. Then he broke through the second layer of chicken wire. After three days, I thought it best to accept the challenge and take him home. Oh boy. That was funny lol. He isn't used to the harness anymore, and it doesn't fit him very well because he is a fat pig, now I am not being mean, you know. It is the truth.
Then I found out how pig headed he really was, and while I had my hands full, Joel got a photo to prove it.
I put him in the seat and did up the seat blet, he sulked. That was an exhasuting process, as he squealed like you wouldn't believe when I struggled to pick him up, perhaps he doesn't like cuddles anymore.
I reckon he is 20-30kg of pork belly, ribs, pigs ears and trotters.
He has taken up residence with my chickens at home. Can't eat him, he has his own facebook page and fan club. My family now love him so, we will just have to keep him fed, sheletered an watered.

Well he's definitely a pig.... I smell bacon...I'd eat him...

wow how these kids grow.......

well the pig i had here is now in the freezer, kidds were getting attached and it was making a bit of a mess! they certainly like to dig, tip over everything etc etc

cant wait to roast it up, is going to be magic as the meat was like velvet.

This is indicative of Brads pigheaded attitude,"nup, I'm mot going where you want and I am quite happy to wait right here." He had dropped to his knees in defiance. But I managed to lift him and strap him in to the car seat, possibly his last car trip. He loves my chickens at home and Daisy duck just tries to keep out of his way, as his playfulness is a little boisterous. Soon he will be moved to solitary confinement, where his custom made enclosure should see him as happy as a pig in mud.

And as a further show of just how much he hated going, he did a big poo as soon as he got in the back seat.... Yuck......

Solitary confinement? Poor pig. He needs a GF. They are social critters, so he will be looking for a play buddy.

Don't you worry Mr Bill The pen is adjacent to the chickens and Bonnie the kelpie visits regularly, they will all get let out to have a communal play and he does get lots of attention. He has his own fan club and visitors, he even has his own Fayesbook I mean facebook page.

He is a much loved pet and you will all be updated as hew grows, and that is happening pretty quickly.

We put a pull up on miss piggy when she goes in the car, a pig that's stressed will poop like a prune fed elephant
