Farm Notes — March 2023: A Giant Chicken, Fuyuto Staying Out and a Guinea Fowl’s Alarm

Every few days we post a short clip from the farm on YouTube. Here are all thirteen from March in one place — tap any of them to play it right here.

Chickens big and small

A giant chicken appeared! We admired a magnificent comb, and a chick noticed the camera. Fuyuto, a six-month-old rooster, sometimes doesn’t come home.

A kitten, a dog and tails

A kitten drank rainwater. A tail stood straight up, and a dog wagged its tail as hard as a tail can wag.

Tortoise and guinea fowl

Here is a close-up of a tortoise at mealtime. And this is what a guinea fowl’s alarm call sounds like.

Little moments

Total strangers! Someone asked for biscuits, someone else just wanted to play, and the month ended with a sleepy Ponyo.
