Hello all. My name is Will. My wife and I just bought 2 and a half acres and we have been wanting to start a little farm for a long time. I am in the process of getting things set up as money allows to pick up some laying hens. Are ultimate goal is hens, goats, a pig or 2 and I have raised meat rabbits for a long time. This site is chalk full of good information to some first time chicken owners and look forward to meeting people from out area in kentucky and across the world.
