Howdy...from Northern California

[Kadjain]

Hello!

I just linked over here from Back Yard Chickens.
I have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarfs here in Nor Cal. I started my herd for milk. I drink a lot of milk...seriously! I know the price of feeding the goats exceeds what I would pay for milk each month but if you add it to not having to keep the weeds and yard under control and having a full time hobby to ease my disability bordoms, it levels out somewhere.
This farming/homesteading is addictive! I started out with 2 does and 3 chickens. Now I have 3 does, a buck, 2 wethers, overy 30 chickens not including the 11 chicks that just hatched and 5 ducks! Thinking about getting two pigs... It was a hobby at first but it's turning into a full time job and I'm supposed to be disabled...I still don't dare call it work though.

Good to meet'cha!

from Twentynine Palms in the California high desert! Glad you joined us!

I too am disabled, but I want to add goats and pigs to my homestead farm. Have 5 chickens now and adding more as soon as I have my run expansion completed. Also going to try a garden again this year. Last years was a fiasco! Too many ground squirrels.
This year it will all be in containers! Best of luck to you and Happy New Year!
