Greetings, BYC-ers!
JD here. I am going to be (finally) retiring and (finally) raising chickens starting some time in the next couple of years. We are in the process of purchasing land and building a (simple, net-zero) home in Vermont.
Hoping to get insights from anyone and everyone, but especially people in Vermont. As a "flatlander" I know I will never be considered a true Vermonter, but I have firmly believed for my entire life that Vermont is where I was meant to be. For whatever reasons, life took me in many different directions, until now! I am looking forward to being a member of a smaller, friendlier community, like my childhood.
We do not know what life will bring in terms of the level of chicken raising/farming we will do, but it could be anything from backyard laying hens to a small commercial operation involving pasture-raised laying hens and/or broilers. All insights welcome. Please reach out!
