Mentor me on all things livestock and farming!

[ak279611]

Hello everyone! My family just moved to the Chardon area and we have about 2 1/2 acres and are looking for more land potentially. I want to learn all the things livestock in farming and there are so many places to start and Google can seem overwhelming. I would love to find someone in the area that would be interested in mentoring me and sharing knowledge. I was thinking chickens might be a good place to start!

They are a great place to start! I would start out with pullets, and be warned the chickens you pick may not lay for a long time.
