<h1>Otis</h1>
|
|
<h2>American Staffordshire Terrier</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At 10 years old, Otis is the most senior critter at Dundo Farms. His favorite pastimes include laying in the sun,
|
|
laying in one of two very specific spots on the couch, digging for roots (aka "ground sticks"), and going on car rides.
|
|
Prepare to fall in love instantly when he thunks his giant noggin into your lap and stares up at you begging for head scritches.

<h1>Opie </h1>
|
|
<h2>Corgi-Pomeranian</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Opie is a high-strung individual with an extreme need for control. He is a herding dog at heart and a friend to all,
|
|
though his boisterous bark and harsh tone will leave you thinking he might just be a psycho. In the quiet moments,
|
|
it's hard to stay mad at his cute little foxy face.

<h1>Maggie</h1>
|
|
<h2>Breed Unknown</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Maggie was adopted from the streets as a repeat stray, and she is a true survivor.
|
|
She hunts wildlife and eats garbage, and she is highly attuned to the desires of her human companions.
|
|
She is also a strict enforcer of rules amongst the other dogs. Knowing that Otis gets in trouble for jump the fence,
|
|
Maggie will chase and tackle him if she sees him contemplating an escape.

<h1>Sammie</h1>
|
|
<h2>Breed Unknown</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sammich aka Sammie aka Sammie Bones aka Sammēcha aka Sammie Three Squares is the Quarantine Baby of the family.
|
|
She joined the family after being picked up as a stray on the last day before lockdowns began in March 2020, so she has never
|
|
known a world where Mom and Dad had to (gasp, the horror) leave for work every day.
|
|
Sammie's spends her days snoozing behind Mom's butt in her office chair while she works from home.

<h1>Clementine</h1>
|
|
<h2>Miniature Pot-bellied Pig</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Clementine is a 5-year-old minipig who moved to Dundo Farms from her previous home in Mt. Airy, NC. She was apprehensive of the change at first,
|
|
but she is quickly getting comfortable and letting her sassy personality shine. She is whipsmart and taking to clicker-training like a champ.
|
|
Her favorite activity is to carry all of her grazing hay into her house by the mouthful to use it as extra bedding.

<h2>2021 Generation (Theme: Cheeses)</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We purchased our very first batch of baby chicks from Little Birdie Hatchery in Wake Forest, NC in April 2021.
|
|
As beginners, we chose to start with Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons, and Easter Eggers.
|
|
When we saw the tub of straight run white Silkies, we couldn't resist grabbing a pair just for fun.
|
|
The birds from this generation are all named after cheeses. We try our best to "love our flock, not individual birds,"
|
|
but there are a few standouts who won our hearts as they were growing out in our guest bathtub.

<h1>Feta</h1>
|
|
<h2>Silkie Rooster</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mrs. Dundo was convinced that Feta would be a rooster as soon as we brought the Silkies home.
|
|
He was noticeably noisier and bossier than his flockmates, and he was always the last to be caught whenever we needed to move the group.
|
|
He grew up to be a very handsome, attentive roo who is protective of his hens, and he always wins his frequent crow-offs with the neighbor's cock.

<h2>Silkie Hen</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mozz is our only Silkie hen and has a special place in our hearts here at Dundo Farms.
|
|
Her tiny eggs are adorable next to her sisters' larger output, and she always chooses to lay in the weirdest spots on the coop floor.
|
|
She goes broody pretty often, and we think she'll make a great mom one of these days! She's very focused on her hygeine and can frequently be found dust bathing.
|
|
Her fluffy head and feet get hilariously muddy in the rain, but she's always back to her bright, clean whites on the next dry day.

<h2>Buff Orpington</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Little Parm" is the smallest of the Buff Orpingtons in the flock and fairly low in the pecking order.
|
|
She was always the easiest to catch as a baby chick, and as a result she bonded with Mom more than her sisters back the bathtub days.
|
|
As a pullet she would perch on Mom's shoulder, and she's one of our friendliest hens and most willing to be held.

<h1>Gorgonzola</h1>
|
|
<h2>Easter Egger</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We noticed early on that one of the Easter Eggers had predominanly black coloring compared to her more golden sisters,
|
|
and she seemed to always hang out in a corner of the bathtub by herself.
|
|
We dubbed her the "loner goth" of the group and named her Gorgonzola, the most goth name of the blue cheeses.
|
|
Even as an adult, she can usually be found eating and foraging on her own away from the group and is often the last to roost for the night.

<h2>2022 Generation (Theme: TBD)</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We picked up our second batch of baby chicks at Pittsboro Feed in February 2022.
|
|
Looking to increase the diversity of the flock, we added: Salmon Faverolles, Gold Wyandottes, Partridge Rocks, Blue Australorps, and Blue Stars.
|
|
This time around we have a brooder set up in nursery section of the coop where they will grow up in close proximity to their cheesy aunts.
|
|
Their naming scheme is pending.
