    possums

    We had our first encounter with a possum in our coop. We came home from a part Saturday night and just before heading to bed my wife said, "I think something is wrong with the chickens." I ran outside to find 2 of them roaming the yard and squaking like crazy. I couldn't find our third one so...

    We finally got them!

    I think I posted in here before (this is Michael my wife is Kelly). It's been quite some time since we started exploring having backyard chickens. Well, we finally got them! The city gave me a bit of a runaround about having them. The mayor said we needed at least 10 acres and shot us down...

    Hello all!

    Hi - My name is Michael and my wife is Kelly. My wife (I should say - we -) are big into self sustaining companies and using local producers for much of what we feed our family. This past year we had two gardens, one a 16x16 plot in our backyard and a 60x30 plot in a community garden. I just...
