Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. I'm waving to you from Sunny L.A. (Lower Alabama). Love this state, and like you I bought land, and started clearing last year. It was messy. Now I have chickens in the big run, Two hoop coops with hen bins under construction, 11 in the brooder and 6 in the incubator. I hope in spite of losing a few to racoons, you keep up the good work and enjoy the yard birds.Hi everyone.
I’ve come to this site many times and found answers to a lot of my questions, so I figured I would join the group.
I moved to Alabama a few years ago and got some land and finally decided to make something of it this past spring. I cleared half an acre of kudzu and overgrowth and built a coop. I started off with 10 Rhode Island Reds, That are about 19 weeks old, but unfortunately raccoons got to two of them a few weeks back. And I also did a batch of 15 Cornish Cross, but only have one left in the freezer. And now I have 26 more chicks in the brooder that are three weeks old.
Eventually I would like to hatch and raise enough to keep a steady supply of meat and eggs for my family and a few friends. Im looking forward to living at least a slightly healthier lifestyle and hopefully teach my kids some life lessons in the process.
