New Hen Laying in the HHS Family Farm

 The two eggs in the middle are from the same hen. She is the first of the  BCM   First-generation hens to be backcrossed with a BCM roo. She is a hen that meets the SOP ( Standard of Perfection) for the breed. I will begin hatching her eggs in February 2022

Friday BBQ and Games

 Friday was a minimum day. We decided to have a BBQ and play some games 

Tuesday Dec 14 More Rain!

The rain has been falling since late last night.  It has construed all day long. We did encounter some flooding in the coop as a result of the raking to remove chicken poop the past couple of years.  We added some soil in it 

Friday's Scheduled Farm Visit Postponed

 Due to the rain we had on Thursday the Friday visit by Sierra Vista was postponed until the new year.

Pigs Get Loose on Campus

 For the first time since we received the pigs, they were able to get out of their pen and come on campus. Actually one of the pigs made its way off campus. Only to return in a full trot. It took a student body and food to lure the pigs back into their pen. 

More on the new pigs

The new pigs are Potbellies. The pigs were donated by Lacey Lahn.  They came with the given names of Crispy Baken and Peppe.  We think the more appropriate names for them should be Jerry and Doc, for Mr. Adams, and Mr. Stager the Principal and interim principal this year at HHS.

Classes have been coming to see the new pigs.  Mr. Smith, Ms. R, Ms. Saranana amoung others have had their class on the farm.

HHS has PIGS!

We were graciously given two Pot Belly pigs from a former student Ms. Lahn.
