Hello and welcome to BYC! This is a great place to learn and share your chicken adventures. Wow, 120 acres is a lot. I would suggest sticking with the chicken project and getting a kitchen garden going for now. If it's all new, then take it one step at a time. Best of luck with this new adventure.

Congrats on your new babies.
Wow 120 acres! I’m so jealous. I could have a lot of chickens on 120 acres.
I live near PA border in harford county MD

Your chicks are adorable.
