Thanks for the comment! It is quite an adven...Hi! Thanks for the comment! It is quite an adventure isn't it? =D The ND goats are great. Really friendly and easy to handle. The welded/woven wire fence is what we use for them. It is 4' high- but the problem with this fencing is they like to rub against it which destroys the fence. So if you use it I'd put either one electric strand right around shoulder height so they can't scratch against it or else use some scrap boards to use as a rubbing rail. The wire will work on its own for about a year but after that you'll run into escaping goats! =D<br />Will definitely stop over at your blog and check it out- LOVE swapping stories with like-minded individuals. =DMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117737137094880758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-23670123743202329832011-05-08T13:17:25.000-04:002011-05-08T13:17:25.000-04:00Sounds like our life!

I stumbled across your blog, and it sounds like you guys are a lot like us, except we're in the Missouri Ozarks.<br />We are also attempting electric fencing for our pigs - they're in a muddy pen right now, but we're trying to pasture them, but can't quite get our old electric fence charger to work right.<br />Also, we've looked into Nigerian Dwarfs...how do you like them? Will woven wire (or welded wire) fencing work to keep them in, and how high does it need to be?<br />Check out our blog - maybe we can swap learning experiences! :)<br />www.theozarkhouse.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-84089220513251698552011-03-31T09:34:43.045-04:002011-03-31T09:34:43.045-04:00Your plans sound perfect.

When our daughter was born, we had a big garden that got ignored for a long time. :-) Do what you need to do, in the increments that make sense, and you will enjoy it more and continue to grow your homestead in a sustainable way.Rebeccahttp://grongar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-11966335165574782832011-03-29T13:21:24.030-04:002011-03-29T13:21:24.030-04:00I was logged into the wrong google acct before!

Yep- we have daily discussions (ok, I guess they can't be discussions when its just ME talking, LOL) about how she needs to turn over.

Thanks for finding the time to share ...Hi Melissa,<br /><br />Thanks for finding the time to share your old home/homesteading project online. My husband, children and I also live in an old Vermont farmhouse (1850s with various additions, some in the 70s), which we are slowly trying to return to 1850s aesthetic with 2010s energy efficiency... while raising chickens and expanding the vegetable gardens and fruit trees every year.<br /><br />I'm also a holistic health and nutrition coach and maintain a blog about real food and optimal health. Stop by sometime www.planithealthier.com and happy homesteading!<br /><br />All the best,<br />DeirdreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-71619911867531395712010-10-31T06:36:46.997-04:002010-10-31T06:36:46.997-04:00Hi Eric

They have a smaller comb than Barred Rocks which helps prevent frost bite and our girls layed all through the winter last year!<br />I personally like our Australorps better because they are a little larger and lay larger eggs, and they are lovely to look at.<br />As for the sale of chicks, at the moment we've only got a handful (and I have NO idea yet which are pullets and which are cocks) which are a mix of breeds crossed with one of our Buckeye roosters. If we have more chicks born in the spring this might be more of a possibility- but we'll have to wait and see. =]<br />Do you live in the area?<br />Good luck with your own backyard flock!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117737137094880758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-450743693085822092010-10-30T22:55:51.779-04:002010-10-30T22:55:51.779-04:00Hope you don't mind a stranger popping in, but...Hope you don't mind a stranger popping in, but I had some questions about Dominiques and your blog came up in my search. How do your Dominiques hold up in the cold? Do you prefer them or the Austrolorps? Would you consider selling some chicks (5-10 pullets and a cock), perhaps closer to spring?<br /><br />What a great blog,best of luck to you and yours.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994387031823322365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-20834733750336950382010-10-22T07:39:33.890-04:002010-10-22T07:39:33.890-04:00Thanks, Annette!
