Hey guys, sorry for not including my location... I just put it in now :) Oh, and Sunshineflock, I actually know 5 languages, long story short my parents moved to Malta from Greece so I had to catch up with some languages :he So, I learnt English, Maltese and Italian from school and Greek from my...

My reason for moving to Italy is this... I currently live in Malta, which is a great country, good economy, good taxes etc... however my life goal/dream is to start a homestead. I can't start a homestead in Malta, it's practically impossible, unless I'm a millionaire. For starters, agricultural...

Hey! As some of you know, I'm currently working for a local company as a programmer. I am leaving to Italy next summer, where I will be starting a homestead. I have been scratching my head for the last couple of months about job opportunities. Italy alone is having a really bad time with jobs...

Hi guys, I went back this morning, looked around the area and even went inside some of the houses... no luck :( I just hope I'll hear a quack when I walk there sometime. Thanks by the way, I kinda got over the mini-depression... :thumbsup

About an hour ago, I was walking to my grandma's place to chat and give her some stuff. On the way there, I saw a little duckling, probably a couple of days old, quacking. I checked around to see if there was a mama duck or other ducks, but found nothing. Keep in mind this was at roughly 5pm...

Here is a photo of the property, this is about a quarter of it

:goodpost: :bow Thanks so much for the detailed reply, and no, I don't mind AT ALL for giving me a heads up on other things, I tend to talk a lot to in some cases! :highfive: I actually used to help my uncle around with his small farm when I was a teenager, so I guess you could say I have some...

Sorry I didn't explain myself properly... The animals will have their own fence. Sort of like this: The whole property's perimeter would have a chain-link fence, then the animals will have ANOTHER fence, so they wouldn't roam around the whole property. I'm still new here so I'm not very...

Hello! As some of you might have seen from my previous posts, I am in the process of buying 5 acres of very flat agricultural land. It doesn't have any trees, just a bunch of weeds and an old cottage. I'm a very conscious guy, and like to be safe in most cases. (This means teenagers wandering...

Congratulations!! :celebrate

Hey, I'm glad the hen is doing okay! I know I'm a bit late on this topic, however a small tip. Here in Malta, to prevent stray cats and dogs from urinating or hanging out near our doors, we used to place a couple of 1.5 liter plastic bottles(without the labels) filled with water. It is said that...

Thank you all! :bow

Out of curiosity, I messaged the owner on Facebook and asked him for some possible predators to poultry. He told me the only thing I should worry about are stray dogs and cats, as hawks and owls are rare.

Hey, thanks for liking the design! And yes, I did plan on building it in panels, as I will live there alone till I settle, definitely easier than having to ask random strangers for help xD Originally I was thinking of the staples that you use with a manual stapler, however upon reading your...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I currently don't raise any chickens, but I used to when I was a teenager, with my uncle. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Previous question says it all :D (3) What breeds do you have? Previous question says it all :D...

Hello, I know I'm a new face here, so I'll post an introduction topic soon :) I am saving up right now and working my chickenass off to go start a homestead in Italy. Hopefully if everything goes right with the owner, I'll move there next July! So I came up with this sort of, half free-range...
