I am up to 62 birds....ducks, geese and chickens. I should have at least 200 to 300 at this time next year.

I sure hope my family learns to like eating ducks and geese. ;>) I’m told that Muscovy duck tastes like beef.... that would be great.

We just moved to a more rural area of Ohio, down on the river across from W. Virginia. We now have two acres of very fertile land. We moved here too late to put in a garden this year, but our neighbors had a bumper crop of everything and kept us in produce most of the summer (great with four growing kids). One of the neighbors has chickens and has promised us one or two next year. Their 14 y.o. son is going to plow up a garden for us (they do a lot of truck farming and own a greenhouse a few doors down). I’ve started learning how to can produce so when the garden produces next year, I’m ready ;)
