: Thank you Gina ... being on my first foray with chickens
I am enjoying your work! Thought I would share our story just
for kicks. I am 60, and care for my 93 yr old mother who was raised
on a farm and then became a 'city girl'! We have six 4 day old
RIR's in a brooder and they have been such great entertainment
for me, her and the cat who is not at all aggressive but sits
for hours outside the covered brooder and watches them.
Having
fun with our new useful sustainable hobby. Jen and my mom Alberta,
cat precious and Clara, Maureen, Mitzi, Lucy, Tina, and Reba !

Acres Enough
How A Very Small Farm May Be Made
To Keep A Very Large Family
Ten
Acres Enough is a self-sufficiency classic written
by Edmund Morris, and is his personal story of
his journey from city businessman to farmer. In

his 'back to the land' experience; how he selected
the land, what he chose to grow, the animals he
raised, planning and managing his fully stocked
kitchen garden and the layout of his fields. He
also passes along many tips for planting and growing
his selection of fruits and vegetables as well
as sharing his experiences with cows, pigs and
chickens. He explains honestly what worked for
him and what did not.
