I discovered this site many years ago, decided to get a few chickens recently and join the fun.
Although I helped my Father with his chickens long ago, I would like to learn more specifics about them in order to be a responsible owner.
We live on a tree farm and have a garden. I am looking forward to the availability of chicken fertilizer and calcium from the egg shells for our plants.
Since we live in a forest, I am interested in learning to protect the flock from predators, from the air as well as land. Hawks, owls, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, snakes, we have them all and more! The hen house is going to have to be modeled after Fort Knox!
I appreciate having such a rich source of information and will be searching for answers to all the questions that are bound to arise as I begin my journey into the land of cock-a-doodle-doos!
