She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

DH just asked if I was ready to buy a farm.

So while I hate the idea of leaving our beautiful, beloved 1822 farmhouse, I really would like to have some acreage and room for a horse, a couple of beef, more turkeys and chickens, a couple of ducks...

After 30 minutes of searching I found the first viable candidate, about 30 miles away. Gonna try to take tomorrow afternoon off to go see it.

A creek runs through it, paved road frontage, some woods, some tilled fields, a couple of barns, rolling hills, a Victorian farmhouse with a wraparound porch...

As stupid as it sounds I need reliable cellular signal and high speed internet, those are requirements for my job. If I can get them, it will be a serious contender.
That sounds like my dream property. Good luck with it!

No hippie here. Not that theres anything wrong with that....

Sounds like you need to raise some French Bresse SC. They sell for $60 to $90 dressed. And cool blue shanks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresse_chicken The same ones here are called American Bressee since they are not from France. You know how they get about that stuff. A guy here had a breeding trio for $100. I wanted to buy them, but you have to pasture them for a time and they take 9 months or so to mature.

Exactly!

My first year, but I noticed I could sell some in the spring to folks hoping to breed the hens they already had. And some go for food anytime.

Porterhouse is my favorite.

Like this?? Theyre havin a blast, its storming

:) my whole yard is startn to look like this :-/ rained Hard everyday this week. Inch here inch there... chickapee i hope ur holding out better with this weather?!


We have been having storms nearly every day this week. My runs are really wet. I was checking the feeders and cleaning them. I found that the feed in the bottom had got wet and stinking so I scraped it out and found piles if maggots. Yuck. The girls are having snacks. So after cleaning that mess, I am not too thrilled. My runs are not covered and are pretty nasty at the moment. Sure hope that storm isn't heading our way.
