Howdy!
After moving around from town to town quite a bit, I've settled on a couple of acres in north central Indiana. It has an existing long, low shed that had been previously sectioned off into stalls, one for chickens, so....hey, good time to start, right? We had a flock of 6 last year, but about a week after putting them out in the shed, something got to them and ate all of them. We're getting ready to start again, this time with a second layer of chicken wire over the stall and a flock of guineas next door to it. Really hoping it works this year, we eat an awful lot of eggs.
We're doing small gardening this year, putting in a small orchard and working on taming the yard (it was abandoned for several years.)
I think that's about it!
