The ducks are already so big at 8 weeks old!
I’ve been letting them run through the garden because we didnt have a garden fence yet this year, but luckily they aren’t nearly as rough on it as chickens!

American Guinea Hogs - a breed that was forged by the American people's efforts to survive. These docile lard hogs were the perfect living food supply in times of hardship. A single breeding trio could provide a family and their neighbors with meat and precious lard for up to a decade with very little input.
The breed was almost lost completely when the ridiculous "fat is bad" fad came about and they were discarded in favor of the faster growing, leaner commercialized breeds. Numbers of registered stock plummeted and they nearly went extinct. But, thanks to some dedicated breed activists, AGHs have started to make a comeback.
The word is spreading about these hogs and their prized meat. They're becoming increasingly high in demand with chefs and high end restaurants. For good reason, too. The tender dark meat, and the flavorful fat that tastes like heaven and melts in your mouth like the world's finest butter... If heavens have a taste, I hope mine would taste like an American Guinea Hog.
The best way to make an impact and help save this rare breed is to buy meat. Buy it from a serious breeder who breeds with the purpose of preservation and improvement of their line(s). Eat the meat, serve it to your friends and family, and then tell them the story of this incredibly old and rare heritage breed. .
Check out the American Guinea Hog Association breeder's directory and find a breeder near you. A fair warning though, once you try some AGH you'll be hooked for life. ;)

There are also many farms on Instagram that have AGHs if you wish to learn more about the breed (if you're a fellow AGH breeder, comment below and let people know! ).

We respect the pigness of the pig and always aspire to give our hogs the highest quality of life possible. They get fresh land to forage from, a herd of other pigs for companionship and stimulation, good soil full of life for them to root through, mud wallows to cool off in, comfy straw beds, and handlers (our children) who treat them kindly and with respect. .
We don't confine our hogs to feedlots, or cut teeth, dock tails, use farrowing crates, antibiotics, hormones, or anything else that might seem like a standard practice in the swine industry. We don't try to make the pigs fit the system. We make the system fit the pigs. .
Pork is delicious, but pork from pigs that were raised on good food and kindness is even better.

The Marquis de Lafayette (Mark Schneider) & Lancer take a stroll down DoG Street. Lancer is a 3.5 year old Cleveland Bay--a critical rare breed, as set by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and The Livestock Conservancy--standing 16.1 hands in height. #handsomefellow

Well after years of begging kids... I finally broke. We have ducklings! I plan to be able to breed more of the Welsh harlequins in the future and we also got a few Pekins and Cayugas. ❤️ Their cuteness definitely does not disappoint.

I was looking through pictures of the summer and came across these babies! This weekend, we will rotate them to the future Spring garden! They help us prep the area and are so happy to root and dig around! #tbt #homesteadersofinstagram #americanguineahog #agha #heritagebreed #livestockconservancy #adorable #iamcountryside #modernfarmer #piglets #piglet #homesteading #homestead #farmlife #pastureraised #pigletsofinstagram #homesteadersofamerica #baconbits #pig #pigs #hog #hogs #farmlifebestlife #upstatesc #pasturedpork #farmfood #onthefarm #babypigs #gardenprep
