Hello and welcome  :wave: We keep about 100 laying hens, plus a couple of batches of meat chickens each year for our own consumption. A couple of weaner pigs for ourselves, a small fock of Coloured Ryeland sheep and a small herd of Shetland cattle plus fruit and veg. We have bees but so far they've mainly been for pollination  ::)
