Hello everyone!!
My husband and I bought a home and 17 acres earlier this year in Calloway Co. I will be moving there permanently in January. My husband will be joining me after he returns from 1 last rotation overseas.
I have been a BYC member for a couple of years. I don't post much, mostly because by the time I get to a post that I could give my input, many others have already said all that needs to be said.
I did have a flock of 30 hens, 3 roosters and 3 ducks until recently. We had 3 coyote attacks in 2 weeks, 1 in broad daylight. Ended up losing over half my chickens and 1 duck. We sent the rest of the chickens to the freezer this past weekend. The ducks have a reservation for mid-November.
Anyways, I will be restarting my flock after I get my new coops and runs built.
We are wanting to become as self sufficient as possible with a large garden, chickens for both meat and eggs, a couple of cows, some pigs, and some goats.
We would also like to have a couple of horses.
