Hi! We moved onto 10 acres about 18 months ago. We have 13 grandkids. Our son-in-law and 3 of our grandchildren live with us. Our son's family built a house on our property and lives there with his wife and 7 kids. We got 10 chickens last April- 5 sex-linked goldens, 2 RIReds, 2 Americana. They are hysterical to watch. We hope to eventually have a mini-farm when my husband retires in 4 years. Our garden will get bigger each year as we have more time. We home-school the kids, so time is limited. But we love being out in the country!

Wow, that's my parents' dream right there. 10 acres out in the country with a small farm.
 
:welcome:celebrate

Glad you're here ! We home school as well, and incorporate our homestead *work* into our studies.

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
 
G’Day from down under HSGrandma :frow Welcome!

Your place sounds wonderful! Good luck with the plans!

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)
