obviously it doesn't have it happen all at once. I've seen deer eat every leaf off fruit trees and kill.

chickens: I got some chickens last year (per wife request) and got some local through a breeder, but also have two nephews who raise beef for auction at county fair. I got roped into going and of course they were auctioning off chickens in batches of 3. Wasn't much bidding going on, so decided to support the kids and picked up a set of hyland brown hens.

Long story short, those girls are dropping an egg a day since arrival and extremely personable because they have been touched and cared for extremely well. The other chickens are stand offish and holler if I pick them up. Slow to drop too.

So an idea to get your brood started, support your local county fair kids. I don't want a rooster.

On a personal comment, I dream of a big fat barn with all the trimmings (heated floor, cable access, bathroom, etc..). You got the space and can slip it in the note.

.......next, we will be talking tractors. take care.
