I'm Living The Life

[Gatsby1923]

11 Months ago I bought 4 acres in rural New Hampshire and 6 months ago I bought 6 chicks... I still have 5 of them and have kept foxes out and a skunk away. I have learned a lot from you guys already so I wanted to join.

Welcome!!!!! So many predators out there I'm glad you're keeping up with them and congrats on your farm purchase. Buying our land and "getting away from it all" was one of the best choices for us!

Welcome! Cheers to getting away from it all and owning land. Rather be a hillbilly than a hipster!
