Is the property you are making an offer on near where you are now, so you would be able to move fairly quickly? I so hope you get it!That's a great idea with the clover. I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that clover wasn't good for chickens. Am I totally misremembering that? I wouldn't be surprised.
If we get the property we're looking at I need to find something that will grow with pine trees and that horses like.
We plan to get some fruit trees and bees too. Just gotta see where we end up and figure out where we can plant them. Might need to do a little clear cutting to make room for an orchard - and protect it from the deer.
I love it. We plan to do something similar and it's great to see an example.
I want to get a Dexter cow. They are small but good dairy AND meat cows. The boys are ready for processing in just 18 mo so any male babies born can put you in meat pretty quick. I wasn't thinking of a pig originally but after hearing of all the pork problems I'm considering it. I think I'm going to try to convince my friend that I'll raise the cow and she raises the pig and we'll share.
Wow, I'm surprised you had such problems. I'm on the Meyer thread and someone else was saying something similar. I wonder if they had a new employee that is making mistakes? I have thought I had roos before when they were young but they all turned out to be pullets after all. I hope that happens with you. I think they will refund the price between the roos and pullets. Not that that helps much.
My last 4 chicks that we want to sell now are gone or leaving. We will have 1 silkie to get rid of eventually that I'm hoping my friend will take when she takes the other one.
We are planning to put our house on the market this friday. We're going to make an offer on a property on wed. I really hope we get it. A friend of a friend listed their house down the street from us yesterday and had 3 offers by today. If our house sells and we don't get the other place we'll be screwed. No where to go with 3 dogs, a cat, and lots of chickens. lol
I took some updated pics of the chicks we hatched. I'll post them next.
