From city to FARM...our story

[hkeibard]

Oh ok I understand now. I thought I made a mistake and posted under something you started a thread on phew. Well it is very nice to meet you also "neighbor" when do you plan on starting your flock?

Chicks are arriving around the 27th. I'm doing all I can to prepare. (obsessive !) I originally wanted to go with pullets but they were surprisingly hard to come by in a trustworthy sort of way locally. So I finally just said to myself I have enough supplies on hand to at least start them off. Plus I want friendly birds used to people. I have memories of my parents chickens (like 40 + years ago) when I was very young and they had a nasty rooster that left a very negative impression on me.

Absolutely it is!
