Hi ChickPeas!! I am so happy to see where you are from. I used to live in Sherrill's Ford and taught at both Sherrill's Ford El. and Catawba Middle School. My Daddy lives in Newton and goes to Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church. I have been a missionary in Haiti for 13 years and in October came back to the states and am currently living and working in FL. I want desperately to move back up to your neck of the woods and raise chickens(50-75) and a few pigs and rabbits. Is Catawba County unincorporated, can one live off the grid? I have been off the grid for 13 years and now am used to not paying bills!!! I would like to have composting toilets and burn wood for heat, don't need air conditioning as am used to 110 degree temps. Is it possible to find 2-5 acres of land for about $10,000? I can build an 800 sq ft. home for about $4500 and that is more than enough for me. I don't mind going farther out 16 or 40 just don't want to get any closer to Charlotte, it is creeping out far too quickly!!! I am really happy to see so many NC's on board. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless

Hi Miss Lydia! I am really happy to see so many people from NC here in the forum. I am trying to find a place to buy in western NC so I can be close to all my family. My Daddy is in Newton, my sister is in Vilas(above Boone), and my son is in Augusta, GA. I want to live off the grid if possible and raise chickens(50-75), pigs(6-8), rabbits(unlimited!!), worms, and talapia and of course have a garden. I am hoping to find 2-5 acres of land anywhere but don't have a lot to spend. I can build my own home or buy a used trailer to start out, even an old hunting cabin is fine. After living in Haiti for 13 years in an 8x17 stick and mud home I can survive pretty much in anything, even a cave!!! If you know anyone I could contact to find land and find out what the building codes and animal regulations are I would truly appreciate any input. Thank you so much and God bless!

I WANT THEM !!

Hmmmm...... Now I am going to have to go build ANOTHER breeding pen. I am thinking SL Polish X Sizzle. I have that covered.

I have to add that I have only 1, yes ONE tray of egg in the incubator and it is NOT even full.

I do have eggs coming from a swap, the swapper mixed up the packages and I got the wrong egg, she is resending the correct egg. Of course I set the one she did send.

And then 1 more set of eggs that were pre-ordered.

I have Quail hatching from my eggs, that I don't need. I was checking fertiliy and will take them to the sale Sat. & Sun. Also, eggs in lock- down, bantam Wyandottes and Sizzles & Cochin.
