Well, keep at it my friend:) I am going to make areas for us to buy and sell what we produce on our lands!

Is your husband on board with you?

O good:) It took my sweetheart a bit of time to come around but now she loves the free eggs and the fact that all scraps go to the chickens.

Mine loves the fresh eggs for sure,He tells everyone that the chickens are my pets and hobby,BUT he has his pic of them as well,like a kid, Having to kinda teach him the breeds and all he will ask well whats the difference from one to the next,It can get confusing when several breeds look so close to each other.But we all learn something new every day :)

My wife (Rochelle) did not think we would like the chickens, we just wanted eggs. We thought they would be more like mindless fish but nope. As we raised them and loved on them they where just cool and they are smart! More like a pet with the added benefit of eggs! HA ha ha!!
