Hi from Marlbank

Post by marlbank3123 » Fri May 04, 2018 9:26 pm

I'm brand new to poultry. My husband and I bought a 60 acre farm 8 years ago with a semi functioning chicken coop. I've been trying for all that time to convince him that we need chickens. Currently we have horse, barn and house cats and a dog. Given the increase in ticks that are appearing on the critters I think I may have convinced him on Guinea fowl.
I'm spending tons of time here and on the internet looking for information.
Im thinking of going to the Lanark Bst on Sunday maybe not to buy but just to look around.

Hello and welcome. I've bought lots of trees from Golden Bough too and they've always done well.
