Sleep tight pam with flip & flop and god knows what else hinch has sent to heaven
The rabbits she used to have in the very early days that were never seen again! XSleep tight pam with flip & flop and god knows what else hinch has sent to heaven
I don't think this is fair. Chickens, as prey animals, are extremely good at hiding illness and often deteriorate fast. 90% of the time, taking them to a vet will end in euthanasia as they're too far gone already. No defence because she's always cryptic and ambiguous with her statements but she may well have called a vet or seen one. But there's not much they can do for certain issues anyway.This is what happens when influencers with no previous experience of caring for farm animals, take them on.
If she wasn't well then she should have taken her to a vet
Exactly thisShe’s been saving Pam’s death hasn’t she
Hinchy will have you know that all animals are friends at hinch farm. Don't you remember she had a fox that lavvvvs the alpacas and even sleeeps with them 🥲🥲🥲🥲What I'm looking forward to is her supposedly getting new hens and introducing them to the current hens. We're getting a few more this summer and I've already been planning carefully how to introduce them for minimal aggression.
I think she does need to drop the farm narrative though. She’s just a backyard chicken keeper with a larger yard than some. She wouldn’t cope with having to euthanise larger farm animals like sheep and cows, look at when Clarkson had to do it on his show.Chickens are also hardly a farm animal. Lots of people have backyard chickens without being farmers or experienced with "farm animals".
I'd say your Dad has a heart - not everyone does xNah I'm sorry, I'm on one today and it always makes me unpopular here
I'm frustrated as well with this idea that to call herself a farmer she needs to toughen up.
Bullshit.
Of all the farmers, smallholders and everyone in between that I know, all of them at some point have grieved the loss of a livestock animal.
Using my dad as an example because I hear it all from him, he almost quit farming a few times due to lamb deaths or other traumatic experiences. I'm the only one of my siblings who has any interest so I get all the gory and depressing details. Just recently they lost a calf after a nightmare birth ending in a c-section. He was cut up about that when the mother cow recovered and was calling for her baby.
He's always attached to the bottle baby lambs and finds it hard day when they go off to be vacuum packed.
Should he stop calling himself a farmer because he cares about his animals? (arguments about ethics aside because I know someone will latch onto that for an argument and I'm not having it)
He even gets a bit sad when he loses a chicken and they're his least favourite.
Edit to add - she's not really a farmer. But my point still stands
