Welcome. Where in northern Italy? My family is in Bruno Italy.Hi. My name is Paula. I'm a retired expat, living in the Nordics, out in the countryside north of Stockholm, Sweden. I've always gravitated towards farmland and farm life since spending summers in my youth, in my mother's farm village in northern Italy. My uncle always had chickens and my cousins still have them. I finally have the opportunity to go with my heart's desires and have been researching all the info to have my own chickens here in Sweden. I'm not yet fluent in the language, although most Swedes speak some English, so online forums are a bit problematic for me here. I've been watching Youtube videos of chicken owners in the US, like Michigan and Minnesota, where the climate is somewhat similar to mine.
My hope is that, having joined this group, I can get help in planning for my coop, which I will hopefully start this Spring.
Thank you so much and again, I'm so happy to have found this group and to be on my way to 'chicken education' !
