Greetings and salutations! Thank you for joining the family. We also enjoy the comedic aspects of raising our flocks, which include 3 dogs, 2 turtles, numerous fish, 47 chickens, 8 ducks and a partridge in a ba-na-na tree (showing my age, for those that know the reference to..hehe). Anyways, we have alittle over 12 acres, but have limited the flocks range to a 60'x40' fenced-in area since we've dealt with issues with foxes, coyotes, possums, eagles, hawks, falcons, just to name a few.
