Hi ho!
I'm living with my little family on 2.5 acres here in the Victorian foothills of the Australian Alps (yes, we have mountains that have snow!). For the gardeners amongst you we align with your Zone 8a/8b. Our climate is primarily Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. We're garden lovers - ornamental and fruit/vege - and are trying to take an organic approach to our environment.
Our foray into poultry has started with guinea fowl to discourage snakes, which in turn has energised us to finally start building a new chicken coop and run so we can have lovely fresh eggs from our own chooks. We're still in the information gathering phase to try and work out the best kind of coop to build. I look forward to learning from the wealth of experience I've seen here in my lurking phase!
Cheers,
Fizz
