We bought a 5 acre farm near New Castle, Indiana, and we've started trying to work it. We did good size garden this past summer and will probably expand that bits at a time. A friend gave us a couple of chickens this summer, and they're surviving and laying. Prior owners were never able to keep chickens for a number of reasons, mainly predators. We want to make it through to spring and then add on. Our immediate need is a good coop, which is what led us to this site. The girls have been living in a small urban coop, but that won't be enough for the winter. We aren't great with tools, but we've made some good friends who are, so we should be able to put something together to do right by the girls. Future plans include some miniature goats, miniature donkeys and horses, other small animals. That means building a barn next spring/summer. We look forward to sharing with you. These are the girls, Lucy and Ethel.
Glad you joined.
