I don’t mean these bottoms, though there is a lot to be said for a nice round fluffy chicken bottom. And I won’t say chicks bottom because I don’t want to give the search engines the wrong impression. 
I mean this bottom. (Below) Wai the Wonder Pig. See how the healing is not only coming together perfectly but Wai’s skin is actually evening out. No crater scars. Growing from the inside out – the deep crevasses, some so deep I could put a finger in them up to the knuckle, are smoothing and his black skin is coming back. 
He is going to be a beautiful, if grumpy, fat wee piggy. 
The other pigs are still growing – I need to sell a few soon. 
The best plants in the gardens this month are the peppers and the eggplants and the sauce tomatoes.
Quite stunning.
Today I drive over to the chicken abbatoir to get the approved chicken transport boxes. Tomorrow is their last day.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

Wai looks amazing!
That is a really remarkable and almost miraculous result. I say almost miraculous, because you and your hard and unflinching work made it happen rather than some mystical power. I tips my hat at yer, Miss C. Bravo.
What you have managed to do with Wai is nothing short of amazing. 🙂
Wai is one very lucky piggy….you have done wonders with him, bless you. Think he is entitled to be a bit grumpy after all he has been through. Love your blog, and your farm always looks amazing, x
What you have accomplished with Wai just has to qualify you as Pig Rescue Guru. I would be interested to hear Lori, the pig rescue lady, comments on his recovery. I also want to say again this is not the first time I feel like dropping down into the dirt to hug a piggy 🙂 Laura
You are the wonder carer resulting in Wai the wonder pig. His recovery and all your work is remarkable.
I love seeing your beautiful, flourishing garden. Delicious eating at your farm.
Our peppers and eggplant are coming on too! But I can’t say as much for the tomatoes. 😦 It hasn’t been the best year. A tiny bit better than last, but not many in the freezer for the winter. The fall garden is going in now though, so hopefully we’ll have lots more veggies coming on! 🙂
It was Wai’s lucky day when he came to you. He looks amazing!
You’ve worked nothing short of a miracle with Wai, it’s been amazing following his progress under your care.
Wow. A beautiful bottom indeed! So happy for the wee Wai. I’m also rather attracted to your pepper plants. Yummmmmm.
Do you know how to roast and skin them, Italian style, then dress them in olive oil and garlic? So good.x
Told you about Wai! But it didn’t happen on its own, so well done!
Excited about the newsletter! The chicks are so adorable!. Such good news about Wai.
I got tears in my eyes looking at the latest photo of Wai. What a remarkable story–all because of you!
You have to transport your chickens to the butcher in “approved chicken boxes”? I’ve never heard of that. Could you elaborate?
I will take pictures for you -they are those big plastic ones you buy online. The company who processes them wants everything uniform and clean – I don’t mind -I want all the other birds clean in airy crates too..
They do look easy to clean~ a plus in my book.
Wai looks great…It’s awesome to see him healing so wonderfully. He’s a lucky little pig…can’t wait to hear more of his adventures as he progresses. I’m sure he will be an adventurous little pig when he is left to roam about.
