🐾 Debbie, Junebug, Rittens, & Pancakes — The Farm Crew Featuring Rock the Rooster! 🐾

It’s another beautiful day (and feeding frenzy!) at M&B Farm & Hatchery, where the kittens eat like royalty… and Rock the rooster still thinks everything is his food bowl. 😂🐓

These four adorable kittens — Debbie, Junebug, Rittens, and Pancakes — were rescued after being found in a culvert pipe following a storm. They’ve grown up safe, loved, and full of personality here on the farm. 💚

They’re currently farm cats, not yet litter-box trained, but they’re social, curious, and would make amazing house cats once trained — or perfect barn cats for anyone looking for a few new furry helpers! 🐱

Each kitten will be:
✅ Fully updated on shots
✅ Flea & tick treated
✅ Dewormed
✅ Microchipped
✅ Spayed

💚 Adoption Fee: $0 — but a completed adoption application is required.

👉 Important Note: Our farm cats are never “out in the cold.” They have warm, dry shelters, fresh food, and all the care they need every single day here at M&B Farm & Hatchery. 🏡

🎥💚 We’re Joining TikTok! — A Message from M&B Farm & Hatchery

We’ve decided it’s time to expand and share more of our daily farm life — so yes, we’re officially joining TikTok! 🐮🐷🐐🐥

Later today, we’ll be setting up our new page where you’ll be able to see all the behind-the-scenes moments — the laughter, the love, and the funny chaos that happens here every single day. 😄

While 99% of our content will be family-friendly, lighthearted, and fun, we want to be honest about something important:

Not every part of rescue life is peaceful or pretty. 💔

There’s a side to rescue that most people never see — the heartbreak, the losses, and the moments that remind us why we do what we do. Sometimes we’ll share those moments too, because they’re part of the truth.

We will never post anything graphic, and we’ll do everything possible to avoid showing blood or distressing imagery. However, from time to time, a video may include mention or brief footage of a deceased animal — always handled with love, dignity, and respect. 🌈

Our mission has always been transparency, and our goal is to help people see and understand both the joy and the reality of rescue work.

Thank you all for supporting us — for laughing with us, crying with us, and standing by our side through it all. 💚

Stay tuned — we can’t wait to share our TikTok with you later today!

🪶☀️ Morning Rush Hour at the Pond — The Canadian Bacons & the Supervisor 🐐💚

Every morning at the farm starts the same way — with a line of happy geese marching in from the pond, all in perfect formation, ready for breakfast! 🦆🪶

They take this routine very seriously. 😆

Among the group, you’ll spot our two special guests — The Canadian Bacons 🇨🇦❤️

They aren’t officially part of our rescue flock. These two just showed up one morning out of nowhere! The first day they arrived, we saw them by the pond. The next day they were gone… and by the third day, they were back — and haven’t left since.

💚 Important Note:
The Canadian Bacons are completely wild and free. They can fly, and they’re not wing-tagged or contained in any way. They simply choose to stay here at M&B Farm because they know where the buffet line is! 😂 They have complete freedom to come and go as they please — but every day, without fail, they return home.

As the geese parade up for breakfast, guess who comes walking in at the end to check on everyone?

You guessed it — Sofia the Goat, our farm supervisor! 🐐💼

She never misses a morning roll call and apparently oversees all departments — from pigs to geese to humans. 😄

Just another beautiful morning full of life, love, and a few honks of happiness here at M&B Farm & Hatchery. 💚

🐷☀️ Good Morning From the Pig Yard — Featuring Supervisor Sofia 🐐💚

Every morning here at M&B Farm & Hatchery starts with pig snouts, happy grunts, and a whole lot of love 🥰

Let me introduce you to some of our morning crew:

💖 Big Mama
Our 500-lb retired show queen. She was saved from slaughter and came here to live out her golden years in comfort, treats, and sunshine. She earned her retirement — and she knows it. This girl runs on breakfast, naps, and attitude.

🧡 Bacon
Don’t let those huge tusks fool you — this big orange-and-black sweetheart is a teddy bear in pig form. Bacon was a surrender; his previous family loved him deeply but could no longer keep him. They did the right thing and brought him here, and now they still check on him and visit him. We are now wonderful friends and family to each other — and Bacon is loved by all of us. It’s a perfect example of surrendering responsibly and with love.

🤎 Mama Pig
Our black beauty with the white face. Mama Pig also came from a surrender and she has the biggest heart — she volunteers herself to raise EVERY piglet, whether they’re hers or not. Every baby becomes her baby. When a little one needs comfort or guidance, she is there. She is truly the farm auntie with endless patience and the softest heart.

💜 Miss Piggy
My baby girl. Our senior princess at 12 years old. Miss Piggy came to us through Animal Control almost four years ago, and she’s been glued to my heart ever since. She’s been through so much, but now she lives every day spoiled, safe, and loved. If she could live in my pocket, she would — and honestly, I’d carry her if she fit.

These four are not “just pigs.”
They’re family.
They have stories.
They have friendships, routines, preferences, and feelings — and they are safe forever.

And just when you think our morning check-in is wrapping up…

👩‍⚖️ Here comes the supervisor.

In strolls Sofia the Goat, taking her morning walk and making sure everyone’s behaving. 😂🐐

Sofia’s story is a special one too. She came from an auction, skinny, in milk, and without her babies. Older, tired, and clearly not cared for. We gave her her own space, proper nutrition, daily milking to protect her health, and time to heal. Now she’s gaining weight, feeling strong again, and apparently has accepted the role of Farm Manager & Pig Yard Quality Control Officer 😆

One thing we believe here:
💚 Every animal deserves safety, dignity, and a peaceful life.

And every single morning reminds us why we do what we do.

🐾 MICROCHIP REMINDER — PLEASE REGISTER YOUR PETS 💚

Did you know that more than 60% of microchipped pets are never registered? That means even though they have a chip, they might never make it home if they get lost.

At M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc., every single rescue animal leaves here microchipped. But the microchip only works if it’s properly registered to you!

Right now, we have 77 chips still showing under the farm — and while we’ll always help reunite a lost animal, those pets can’t be instantly identified as yours until you finish that last step.

🐾 HOW OUR MICROCHIP SYSTEM WORKS

Every microchip we use has two layers of registration — this is what makes our system so safe and dependable for every rescue animal we place:

1️⃣ Rescue Layer (Locked & Permanent)
This layer contains information about M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc., the licensed rescue that implanted the chip.

It cannot be changed or erased.

If your pet is ever scanned at a shelter or by Animal Control, we are automatically notified.

This ensures we can identify your pet right away and contact you so they don’t end up sitting in a shelter or marked unclaimed.

2️⃣ Pet Owner Layer (Transferable)
This section contains your information — name, address, phone number, and email.

When you adopt from us, we transfer the chip into your name through FreePetChipRegistry.com

Once complete, you’ll get an email confirmation within 24 hours.

The registry notifies both you and us if your pet is ever lost, found, transferred, or passes away.

💡 If you don’t register your pet:
The chip will still show M&B Farm & Hatchery as the registered rescue, meaning we’ll get the call if your pet is found — but we’ll have to dig through records to find the owner.

Registering your chip connects it directly to you, making reunions quick and stress-free.

📋 WHAT TO DO

If you know your pet’s microchip number:

✅ Visit FreePetChipRegistry.com
✅ Log in or create your free Pet Owner account
✅ Click “Add a Pet” and enter your chip number
✅ Your chip will link automatically — easy and fast!

If you don’t know your pet’s microchip number:

📧 Email us at [email protected]
Or message us on Facebook
with:

Your full name

The email and phone number tied to your account

Your pet’s name (and optional photo)

We’ll look up the chip number and transfer it for you.

💚 Thank you for helping keep our rescue animals safe — even after they’ve gone home.

Each registration completed today is one more animal fully protected for life.

🐓 Meet Rock — My Feathered Shadow & House Rooster ❤️

Every animal at M&B Farm & Hatchery has their own story, and this handsome boy — Rock — has one that truly touches the heart.

Rock actually came from a very loving family who adored him deeply. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep him any longer, but they wanted the very best life possible for him. They made the selfless decision to surrender him to our sanctuary side, and to this day, they still check in on him to see how he’s doing. That kind of love and care doesn’t end just because an animal changes homes — and Rock is living proof of that.

When he first arrived, he quickly made himself right at home. He settled in, found his rhythm, and before long… he decided his forever spot was right by my side. Now, he lives on the house side of the farm and has fully convinced himself he’s one of the dogs. 😂

Every single morning, Rock struts right into the house like he owns the place, heads straight to his dog bowl, and eats his breakfast. He hangs around for a bit, chatting away and “helping” with whatever I’m doing. When he’s done, he strolls himself right back outside like a little gentleman — and then does it all again for dinner.

He’s got the biggest personality — loyal, curious, and a bit dramatic if he thinks I’m ignoring him. If the kids don’t distract him or I forget to toss him a few treats before leaving, and he sees me getting into the car… oh, here he comes! Rock takes off down the dirt road, wings out, running as fast as he can to catch me. Most days, I have to stop, open the car door, and bring him back home like a spoiled toddler who refused to stay put. 😂

Rock may have started as a sanctuary surrender, but now he’s my baby — my feathered shadow, my little house rooster, and one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. I love all of our animals here on the farm, but Rock has a special place in my heart. ❤️

Farm life is full of stories like his — stories of love, second chances, and bonds that grow stronger every day. And if you ever visit and see a rooster hanging close to the house or chasing a car down the road… that’s Rock, living his best life and reminding us all just how beautiful rescue can be. 🐾🐓

🌿 Mikey Update & A Request for Extra Prayers 🌿

We could really use some extra prayers for Mikey’s health this week. He’s been struggling more than usual — both with his pain level and with his memory — and this has been a very heavy and emotional week for us.

We’ve been back and forth to Yulee, Florida, twice this week — once on Wednesday and again today — to see his doctors and try to get him more help. The next step is an MRI of his spine and brain, but this isn’t a simple or routine test for him. Because of his severe claustrophobia, he has to be completely sedated, which is extremely risky due to his lung condition (pulmonary fibrosis).

We’ve been told and carefully explained the risks involved with this MRI. He has a very high chance of complications — including death. This was not a decision made lightly. We’ve tried everything else. If you’ve followed our previous updates, you know how many steps we’ve taken trying to avoid this point. But we’ve reached the stage where we need these images to truly understand what’s going on in his brain and spine, and to find any chance at better care or relief for him.

His memory has continued to decline. He’s forgotten names of family members, pets, appointments, and even places we’ve just been together the same day. For example, earlier this week we stopped at a pet store in Florida, and he picked out a few small animals himself. Before we even made it back across the Georgia line, he was asking me to be quiet so he could “listen,” because he thought an animal was loose in the car. It’s little moments like that that show just how much his mind is struggling to connect and hold onto things lately.

💚 Very Important — Please Read:
If you have any business, farm appointments, purchases, or anything important that needs attention, please reach out to me directly instead of Mikey. He doesn’t understand that he’s forgetting things, and he believes everything is fine.

If he calls or texts you multiple times, please don’t be upset with him. Just contact me and I’ll handle it.
If you see him and he repeats things or seems confused, please show him patience and kindness.
You can still absolutely call to say hello or check on him — he loves hearing from everyone — but if it’s anything more than a simple conversation, please message or call me instead.

🙏 He still has good days!
It’s just that this past week has been especially hard, and his memory and dementia symptoms have progressed faster than we expected.

We’re holding onto faith, family, and the love that surrounds us. Every prayer, every kind word, every message of support truly means more than we can ever say.

🦆🦌 Hunting Season Safety & Trespassing Warning — 2025–2026

Good evening, everyone. As hunting seasons continue across Georgia, we want to remind the public that M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc. is private property. Hunting, trespassing, or discharging fi****ms on or toward our property is strictly prohibited.

Current hunting seasons include:

Duck Season: Nov. 22–30 and Dec. 6 – Jan. 25 (2026)

Deer Fi****ms Season: Oct. 18 – Jan. 11 (2026)

Small-Game Seasons: Ongoing for select species under Georgia DNR regulations

In 2023, we suffered an unspeakable loss when trespassers shot and killed every single one of our Rouen ducks — beloved, domestic ducks that were part of our rescue flock and family. Their babies drowned after losing their mother. The individuals responsible were not hunting for food — they were killing for fun. That act of cruelty forever changed how we protect this farm.

🕊️ To understand why this message is so important, you can read our 2023 post about that tragic event here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16kURd2u6o/

At that time, our main perimeter fencing and gates were already complete, but the pond area itself did not yet have its own inner fencing. Since then, that section has been fully secured with additional fencing, cameras, and patrol dogs, ensuring such cruelty can never happen again.

Today, the entire farm is protected by permanent fencing with barbed wire and electric deterrent sections, posted signage approximately every 20 feet, and clearly displayed contact and emergency numbers. Every gate and access point is equipped with warning and safety signs, as well as 24-hour monitored surveillance.

📸 Every gate and perimeter area is clearly posted with visible warning signs, emergency numbers, and monitored cameras.

Our property operates with multiple layers of protection:

🐾 Livestock Guardian Dogs live and work among the animals, protecting goats, pigs, cows, poultry, and other livestock.

🐾 Guard Dogs patrol areas of the property that do not have livestock — including driveways, pond zones, and outer fields.

These dogs are loving, social, and highly trained members of our team. They interact daily with visitors, volunteers, children, and school groups, and are part of what makes M&B Farm & Hatchery such a welcoming place.

Our friends, family, and neighbors regularly stop by with produce, treats, and veggies — and the dogs greet them warmly, even when we aren’t on site. They also remain calm and friendly with delivery drivers, sanitation crews, feed suppliers, landscapers, and volunteers who enter using approved gate codes.

Our dogs know the difference between welcome guests and unwelcome intruders. However, these same dogs are trained protectors with strong instincts.

When someone jumps a fence, cuts a lock, or enters through unauthorized areas, the dogs respond exactly as trained — to defend their animals and their home.

⚠️ BOTH WILL ATTACK AND BOTH WILL BITE.

⚠️ IF YOU ENTER WITHOUT PERMISSION, THEY WILL SEE YOU AS A THREAT.

⚠️ IF WE ARE NOT PRESENT TO CALL THEM OFF, THEY COULD KILL YOU.

Our dogs are not vicious — they are loyal, responsible protectors doing the job they were bred and trained to do. When boundaries are respected, they are among the kindest, safest, and most trustworthy animals on the farm.

We love our animals, our visitors, and our community. Please remember that this is an active rescue and sanctuary, not hunting land. Respecting our boundaries keeps everyone, including people and animals, safe.

If you observe suspicious activity, hear gunfire near the property, or suspect poaching or trespassing, please report it immediately to us or the Brantley County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia DNR Law Enforcement.

🐾💪 VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED — QUICK KENNEL ROOF SETUP! 💪🐾

Hey friends! We could really use a few helping hands here at M&B Farm & Hatchery Inc. to finish up one of our dog kennels for our pups 🐶💚

The kennel (10x10) is already assembled and in place — all that’s left is the roof!
We just need help lifting the roof frame (approximately 50 lbs or less) onto the top of the 6-foot kennel, holding it steady while we attach the clamps, and then adding the roof cover.

👉 Depending on how much we can lift together as a group, we can add the cover while it’s still on the ground or after the roof frame is attached — whichever is easier and safest for everyone.

It’s an easy project that only takes about 10–15 minutes in total, but we need 2–3 people to make the lift safe.

If you can spare a few minutes to help, we’d be so grateful! ❤️

Even a short visit can make a big difference for the dogs who’ll be using this space 🐕

👉 This includes:

Friends, family members, and guests not listed on our insurance

Anyone touring, visiting, or spending time inside the facility area

🐐 Minors are welcome, but they must be accompanied by an adult (18+) at all times.
