We have chickens

Well today the wife and son went and got the chickens. The person we received them from didn't even charge us. She just wanted them all to go together. 2 roosters and 2 hens was all we got, but they are already eating and drinking the water. Above is a picture of the chickens and then we got our first egg. Talk about a surprise. Our 2 little NZ rabbits are doing fine, they are eating up a storm. The wife is already talking about goats but I think we will wait a little while until our new friends get settled in to our home.

Well we got two New Zealand rabbits today, they are still young but they are doing well. Tomorrow we pick up 2 roosters and 2 hens. We have the chicken coop ready to go and all the food, feeder and waterer set up. We will take some pictures for all to see.

Starting Out

Welcome to the first post of the Wells Family Farm. We have been working on our property for some time to bring in some chickens, rabbits and hopefully goats and pigs. We have only a half acre so we have to plan our space carefully. We have a small raise bed that has some tomatoes, squash and cucumbers right now, but hopefully for the winter time we will be able to grow more with a greenhouse. We live in North Carolina, so right now it is already hot at least 92 degrees F. So keep coming back and looking at this blog and hopefully you will learn what we learn (or try not to laugh to much).
