Hello everyone,
Just a quick intro about us. My husband and I started looking for a property between 20-50 acres this past summer to start a business and just have more land for our family. We ended up finding a 66 acre hobby farm in Harviell, Missouri in August that included a 3 acre pond that is home to 13 geese, 2 ducks, and about 50 canadian geese that visit every morning for a few hours and then fly off. It also had a pen in the back with a peacock and peahen. In the beginning, we were going to rehome everything except the ducks because we felt like we had no idea how to take care of any of these birds. But they took to us so quickly that they pretty much became a part of the family within just a few weeks. We plan to get chickens probably spring of 2019, as we want to spend the next year fixing up the peafowl pen and building something near the water for the geese. We are still only 20% sure that we're doing anything right, and my husband says I overly worry about them being attacked or freezing in the winter, but I can't help but take a headcount every morning. All of them freerange, including the peafowl who are only penned in severe weather and spend the days hanging out by the garage or down by the pond and in the trees at night. That's us.
