Hello, I’m Anne. I live in Vermont, USA, and for non-Americans, it’s up in the Northeast, bordering Canada. I moved here two years ago, from Massachusetts, semi-retired. I’m a psychologist, working in a hospital and occasionally work in the courts.
I don’t have chickens yet! I have listened to others talk about their chickens (and other livestock) and I started wanting them SO much. The only updates I have are the ongoing “discussions” I have with my partner. He has agreed we will repurpose his old “parts” van (which still runs) into a coop. (Our property taxes are high and will be increased if we have a coop without wheels!)
Anyway, he claims he doesn’t mind the idea of chickens but this spring and summer, he wants to finish the garage, install the new woodstove, and finish another interior renovation first!
I probably can’t do all the work on the van myself. He is a carpenter and is also pretty talented at mechanics. I, on the other hand, am a good cook. So I’ll need his cooperation and help. Sigh. I wish I had chickens now!
Wish me luck! I will be helping with the garage. Last year he didn’t want me wasting time on a garden - we didn’t move in till June, a late start - but he loved the tomatoes and the flowers! I suspect he will like the eggs!
@WhoDatChick we have to figure out how to get her some mudbugs in the spring.... Last crayfish boil i did in the magic kingdom, the brits were not sure but the auisies loved them. Just imagine the customs issues of bringing live crayfish into Saudi. But we did it. and it worked.
