Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Gorgeous territory up there!! You will definitely want to connect with your neighbors in the Alaska state thread Here. They may be a great resource for you.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Nice little homestead you have there. Is the moose a pet or are you fattening him up?

There are moose everywhere here, our property bumps up to state land. It is a very highly traveled spot! They come down from the mountains when it snows and gets deep. They are always making surprise visits!

We do have moose around here however they avoid people mostly. I did see one in the woods a couple of years ago just hanging out. Those look very healthy.

@TopiaFarm - A friendly BYC welcome to you!

This new member post caught my attention because of your location honestly. Alaska is such beautiful country- where did you move from if you don't mind my asking, and what inspired/led to your move? We've been eyeballing land up there for a few years.

It's good to hear you already have a barn and coop in place on the property! Could you possibly ask the prior residents what type of chickens they kept? Perhaps try the state thread here in BYC or network with locals near you and ask them about their favorite breeds. Again, a big welcome to you!

What's this? HomesteaderWife's normal chicken greeting image has been replaced! What a special treat- you've been greeted by The Welcome Tater!

Thank you for the recommendations!

Your welcome!

It’s wonderful to have you here! I think you’re good with a lot of breeds of chickens. Ducks like the cold even more, by the way. I’m sure the locals can tell you what breeds do best. Good luck with your new life!
