Meet the newest members of our farmily! (Sorry. I had to say it.) You are not supposed to name food animals. But we couldn't help it, so at least we gave them both the same name: Nom, and Nom.
As in: nomnomnomnomNOM! That is what they do all day. They are amazing digging machines. I had no idea. Fortunately we are just starting a new journey in landscaping, so having portable self-powered tillers is great. They are digging up all the crappy dirt in our yard and aerating and enriching it so that next year it will be super-nutritious for all the plants.
They are very rambunctious little ladies and spend a fair amount of time galloping around the yard. The ducks are, frankly, not amused, but the chickens love all the new dirt being dug up.
They're also VERY curious about everything and run over to see us when we come out of the house, and try to nibble on our boots and the hose, and, well, everything.

If you ever get sick of ham, you have a cousin in the South that would be willing to accept shipments.
