Similar situation here!

We jus moved out here in Eastern NC on 2 acres and I am wanting a more self sustaining lifestyle. Livestock, garden, you name it! Best of luck to you!

We are going to do a large garden next summer and we are looking to get a couple of goats at some point in time. I am having to much fun!

Hi Michelle, very nice to meet you.

Glad you joined the Backyard chickens flock. The best place to start a chicken education is the Learning Center.

Awesome!! Sounds like a good plan o me. I do not know much about goats either but had a few when I was pretty young. They ended up getting thru a small hole in the fence and getting hit by a train while running down the tracks! All they had to do was step to one side or the other.....not the smartest animals so beware. Hope you have a better experience that I did.

Welcome to BYC, Michelle. Glad you decided to join our flock. X2 on drumstick diva; if you haven't done so already, definitely check out our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is loads of useful information there. Raising chickens is a wonderful experience for children. Our children and granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) loved our chickens and made lap pets of the calmer and more gentle breeds. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting your flock.
