Hi there

[dragonlaurel]

Welcome! Enjoy the insanity. This self sufficiency stuff will sneak up on you and change your life. Enjoy it. You'll end up with lots of good food, some cool friends and lots of new hobbies.

Nice to have you here!

Yes, those chickens are addicting!

I started out with 25, and just chickens. Now I'm not counting how many chickens, have 20 ducks + 9 call ducks, 6 guineas, 6 turkeys, a mini pony, and 2 young steers!

Great to have another SS'er on board! I can't waite to see your pics. Chickens are like popcorn...once you get started...you can't stop! We started with one little rescue Roo. We found him in a field across the road. Now we have, well...LOTS of chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs, and sheep! Hopeing next year..a steer or 2.

Welcome to the group. Whereabouts in Ireland are you? My family lived near Dungarvan, Co. Waterford for 3 years, a long time ago when I was still in school. I don't get to go back there often, but always enjoy it when I do.
And yes, pictures would be nice.
