Hey y’all! I’ve always wanted to farm and finally decided to get started this year. There’s always been one excuse or another but here we go…
I am currently building my coop and covered run, as I have several hawks, at least one fox, raccoon, etc. and a bear.
I moved to Berkeley Co. WV 2 years ago. As I’m BRAND NEW to this, I will definitely welcome any advice on what birds you recommend for my area. My current plan is for 3–4 layers to start with, then several meat birds soon after.
