We're on a small farm property in northwest Montgomery county, in the North Clayton area. We currently have a flock of 17 chickens which I plan to expand to about 25 before winter hits. We have 3 acres and are surrounded by about 70 acres of farmland. We free range 100% and have not had any issues with predators (sometimes the hawks "stalk" but have never attacked) and I think part of that is because we have a very large and protective columbian rooster (he killed a crow not too long ago.)
Next year we plan on expanding our property to support turkeys, goats and perhaps some alpacas. Would love to hear what other folks in the area are using in terms of sources for farm products including animals, feed, supplies and other equipment like fence materials.
Thanks!
