I must be a broody hen...

[EarthMuffinFarm]

I can't sleep, eat or stop obsessive research about raising chickens...the library shelves are empty cause all the books about chickens are at my house. I am absolutely NESTING. My girls are due to arrive the week of March 4th 2013 from M.McMurray. I live in Ketchikan, AK and would love words of wisdom about coops/runs and Black Bears.
You can "Visit" my homestead via my FB page at Earth Muffin Farms...we are going to be providing a web cam feed of the brooder box happenin's feel free to join us.

Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. Your area looks wild. How grand is that. You will need a coop that will keep bears out. Good luck.
