Hi, I've been an infrequent poster for several years.
I've kept small flocks of chickens for eggs, for about 35 years. I'm currently starting a new flock with six 3-week old Easter Eggers.
They'll live secured in my ark with daly, supervised free range time.
I love the Great horned Owls that nest in our neighborhood every year... and I think they "loved" my Leghorns that refused to go to bed at night.
I've had Eggers before and really liked them. They were more, "cooperative."
I also have 7 "pet" rabbits that are two years or older, from an abandoned meat raising project.
I decided I wasn't impressed enough with the meat for the work involved.
Anyway, is there something wrong with a sixty year old guy wanting a petting zoo?
I built this sturdy pen thinking of goats.
I had my Leghorns in there with the ark. Now the ark is out and I planted pumpkins. When they are done, I'm thinking about goats again, strictly as pets. Maybe 3 small ones... Pigmys?
Any thoughts or advice for subtropical, Southwest Florida?
I've got a lot of learning to do first.
