Hi! I am a former suburbanite beginning to live out a "farmette" dream in Homer, AK. We moved here last August and now are beginning to get things into shape. We just got two goats and are starting to plan for chickens. Our place came with two chicken coops. They need a little cleaning and one run needs some serious weed whacking since it hasn't been used in a few years. The other one never had a run added and was never used, aside from storing plant start trays and such. As spring sloooowly approaches, we are starting some of our rehab projects. We hope to get some chicks locally and are researching breeds and caring for chickens.
My daughters are so excited about the idea of having chickens. My youngest wants to name them after Disney princesses. I did warn her that the day could come when we would be serving Ariel for dinner. After 3 daughters, I have to say the idea is rather satisfying in a sick, twisted way (a little sick of Disney princesses)!
This site has been so helpful so far and I have really enjoyed looking at all of the projects that other people have done. I have gotten some really great ideas! I can't wait to get to know you all better!
