Greetings,
I am brand new to chickens, having picked up 50 broilers and 14 turkey poults 4 weeks ago. I plan to add some layers later on. It has been a discouraging time, since I have been struggling with respiratory illnesses in the chicks since day 1. This forum is a great resource, and I know that I will have many questions in the future. I appreciate the knowledge base of this forum.
I live on a beautiful 80 acre farm in Central MI that we purchased two years ago. We have sheep, many dogs, one farm cat, and we added 5 feeder pigs and a milk cow this year, along with the poultry. We have 35 acres of lush pasture and my plan is to raise as much of our food as possible, and to sell a bit of the extra. All the animals are thriving but the poultry.
regards,
Wendy
