I'm jumping in without reading the whole thread. I've only lived in CT and upstate NY but right now, with the places I've been, I'd suggest looking at southern Ohio or Pennsylvania. That's without knowing a lot about the cost of living, job market, politics, etc. Just knowing I liked what I saw driving through, how nice the people I met were, lots and lots of farms and warmer than here in the winter. Hate to lose you but truth is if we were in a position to relocate I would too.
Forgot to add that I have a friend who relocated to Burnsville NC and absolutely loves it! She started off in TX then moved to the Detroit area. SHe prefers NC!

Well if we do move out of state it would be in a year or more. But we just found out that you can have as many chickens as you want in Salem, which is right next to us. So we're thinking of buying a piece of land in Salem and then building a house on that. I do like CT, because well it's the only state I've ever lived it and we've made a lot of friends here. I'd hate to loose you and PC

LOL, like you need to be closer to Salem Feed and Grain! Good to know though. We called the town when we first got ours and were told we could have them as long as the neighbors didn't complain. So for years we've had them with no roosters. Still no complaints even with George and Oliver but a friend in town says that his neighbors recently called and were told they had to apply for permission and get the neighbors to sign saying they had no problem with it. So I hope we don't end up in the same position as you. We'll have to start a chicken compound in Salem!

2 years ago when we did the same, with DH's job, we were able to choose to live just about anywhere in the US.

In order for us to narrow down where we wanted to live, we asked ourselves some questions.

1) What kind of weather do we want?

2) Since we have 2 young children, which state ranks highly for public education?

3) Once state was determined, we narrowed down which counties ranked highly for education?

We found ourselves in the Northern VA.

Here are some links to help with narrowing down your search.

I'm only about 5 minutes from Salem now, maybe we could find a house right next to them

But we are defiantly thinking about buying land, not alot, but 5+ acres because we would love horses, and then build a modular home on it.

Well we have the farms and country and nice people and great areas to have livestock/chickens but we also have the winter

COME TO CENTRAL PA! Our winters are fairly mild compared to other parts of PA. Lots of farms. And places to keep all sorts of critters. I live outside of a town called State College.
Come on over...plenty of room lol.
