Hi. I grew up on a farm in Nebraska. I now live in a tiny town at the base of the Snowy Range Mountains. It is lovely here. We got a nice snow last night.I am so happy to have found all of you. I feel a little isolated at times. I have 2 kids. I spin,weave,knit,and love to bake. I am a doula. My husband is a cook at the logde here.
We would love to raise chickens but are not sure of how to keep all of the local dogs(we have more dogs than people here-heehee),and other predators away from them.I look forward to visiting with you all.
Blessings,
Bea

Hi Bea - Welcome and we look forward to hearing more about your interesting life in Wyoming! WE have travelled there and I will never forget an early morning drive (5:30 am) and seeing an elk feeding on the roadside. He merely raised his head and looked at us as we passed. We were near the Tetons.

Hi Bea. I live in Gillette for a few years in the 70's, I was a teenager and would have given anything to have been able to stay out there. We ended up moving back to Massachusetts though I never forgot the time in Wyoming. I moved to Kansas 10 years ago and still have relatives in Gillette. We are hoping to visit this summer.
Welcome to the group.
Check out chicken tractors, they are portable chicken pens that can be make sturdy enough to keep out pradators. Also, just a couple hens will give you about one dozen eggs a week. Each hen laying 3 eggs in about 4-5 days. Also, you don't need roosters to get the hens to lay. I've known people who keep chickens in suburban backyards. |
