Well in response that is a little more then our feed runs us here in Rockford, Il. but we not terrible. I actually have my whole flock NPIP certified so no worries there just need to see about transferring that to Arkansas. We will be in Izard county just outside of Oxford. Yes we have a bunch of birds all Heritage no hatchery stock and actully will probably be selling off the majority of our adult flock. We do a lot of hatching and hoping to grow our chicken business a bit bigger. We currently have about 100 adult birds and have about 3 dozen eggs hatching this week needless to say we will stop setting about 3 weeks before we move our bators (each one has a 600 egg capacity). So that is a short run down on us. With 64 acres I think we may not out grow our property looking forward to a large garden and just enjoying the isolation. I will also be continuing my schooling when I get there so should be interesting.
Welcome to the county, neighbor! Oxford is just about 16 miles west of our place. A local source for heritage-breed chicks would be great. My neighbor up the road was our "chicken mentor," and his flock of 16 is getting quite elderly — some are going on 7 years old.
Anyway, best of luck with the move and I hope the weather cooperates so you can get settled in quickly and easily.
