The farm of the instagram picture (https://i.sli.mg/AKIbph.png)) is Whitmore Farm at 1702 Dern Road in Emmitsburg, MD. Turn the instagram picture sideways and look at google maps for the property, even the driveway is the same. Whitmore has Welsummer chickens, and the website says "Welsummer" on the picture. Grimes Rd. is very close, and "Grimes" is in the picture. The owners are two men, Kent Z. Ozkum and William J. Morrow. (http://www.whitmorefarm.com/welsummer))

silly thing but, why does it say "Lock up mom + extra food"?

Sows will often eat their own piglets. Keeping them from doing so requires keeping them separated except during the times the piglets are nursing. Feeding the sows well also reduces the possibility. Pigs are tasty but they're nasty animals in more ways than one. Farrowing pens are enclosures that keep the sows from lying down so they won't lie on their young. Don't tell PETA! Bacon must continue! 😋
