Hi all y'all. I'm glad I found this site and have enjoyed finding much needed information the past few days. Thought I'd take some time and post an introduction.
My name is Sharon. My hubby, Bill, and I recently celebrated our 20th anniversary. We have 3 sons (Will - 11, Samuel - 8, Nicholas - 6). We also have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 bearded dragons, 1 hamster, 1 rabbit, 4 ducks, 2 turkeys, and 31 chickens. We've had the ducks and turkeys since mid-March and the chickens since the last of April. I had a nasty snapping turtle from the pond eat one of my ducks and my mini dachshund, but we've since taken care of him (the turtle). Ever seen a snapper that's 1 1/2 feet long not including the tail? I had never seen one that big before but after I figured out what happened to my little dog it's sort of been relocated. It's sad, but I'm trying to move through it.
Anyways, we moved to our small farm (7 1/2 acres) in Ohio this past January. We moved up from VA and it took us 2 years to find the house we wanted to buy. It was worth the wait. We have a 150 year old house on a beautiful piece of property. It's layed out real nice. Lots of trees, fruit trees, fencing, quiet road... The barn is going to be a major renovation project, but one of these days I'll get started. Right after I get finished with the other dozen projects I'm in the middle of.
In the spring I'd like to put together a large pottager garden and include a small coop with some fancy chickens. Right now we have a pen with rhode island reds and another pen with both black jersey giants & white rocks. Those hubby picked out. I'm going to pick out the ones for my garden area. I'm looking for some fancy different chickens. Anway, I'm typing a book so I suppose I should stop. Nice to meet you.
Smiling & Waving,
Sharon
