We have about half field, half woods. We're on a river, and by the river it's pretty marshy, so we can get lots of mosquitoes.

Technically the farm name is currently Pixie Hollar.
However for like our goats we have for their papers Purple Pixie
So trying to think of something for the birds similar. Both me and my BF are biracial of Hispanic mix so toying with some Spanish.
I have 7 chickens. Will bump up to 11 when I chicks in 82 days!
We totally lucked out when we got our place. House with 8 acres. Neighbor sold us another 12, and then we got another 5, so we have 25 acres. We are the luckiest people I know.
Our 10 acres are split, half woods, & half not.
We have a swamp, in our woods.
Dad's replacing the old deer blind, so I can have it, & turn it into a coop.
Just debating whether I want it strictly for my OEGBs, or somehow divide it into a breeding coop.Aw, I love that! I've dabbled in naming my little farm here, but haven't really 100% settled on anything. My grandparents farmed the other end of this property (and ran pigs through this end because it's heavily wooded so couldn't really be planted) and called their farm Windy Hill Farm. Well, my uncle inherited that end of the property and isn't a farmer, and my dad inherited this end, plus we're not really on a hill back here, we're in a woods, so I was thinking maybe Windy Woods Farm would be nice as a callback to my grandparents.
You've got lots of room for more chickens, though. What breeds are you getting in 82 days?
Pretty much all woods here, except for the other end of the property that's regrowing into woods. This is the view off the back deck late spring:

And a panorama from early spring, deep in the woods:

This area is the other end of the property and was planted with crops a long time ago which is why it's not as wooded, but then in my childhood we planted a bunch of trees and have been letting it go back to nature. Actually, it's been so long since I took this picture that there are more trees and bushes in this area now!

I absolutely love it here, really can't complain much. But like I said, hard to build much.
Always exciting to have a new coop in the works! I've got a pen planned to split one of my coops into two for breeding purposes, but some bills came up so I've had to postpone that for now.
