Hello I live in Alaska and I love it! I hunt, fish and enjoy the outdoors but my real passion is my backyard micro " farm" I have have 10 chickens. All hens because the city does not allow roosters. My girls are what I call my "chick therapy", I enjoy bring them treats, collecting feathers and of course eggs. I dream of becoming self sustaining. We are a long way from it but we are making progress - sometimes slower then I like, lol. I have 5 turkeys but 2 will be Christmas and thanksgiving dinner. I try very hard to to keep all my pets happy with only one bad day - harvest day. I enjoy feeding my family healthy humanly treated meals. We also have quail. I love pickled quail eggs! So does my husband he is wonderful and is my greatest support. He will roll his eyes has I keep bring home more animals but always chips in to help me care for them. We also have 3 great children, that love all the pets. They are 12, 10 and 2. My next step will be getting dairy goats. I'm still trying to find out if its allowed in the city *crosses fingers* . Well that's me in a nut shell.
