Oops my finger posted too quickly.

We are expanding our hens. Have a few eggs on order but would also be able to take some adult hens with another coop and fencing, buckets etc. just wondering if a sheep trailer would come in handy too for future dreams  :innocent:

I really feel for you - this is an awful situation. Maybe you could both get some professional help to work this through. Speaking personally, I would find it very hard to sustain a relationship under these circumstances. I do wish you well  :hug:

Life is just S**T sometimes isn't it, but it will get better - one way or another, so keep your chin up.   I'd WILLINGLY take your Dartmoors if only you were a bit closer.    No one heading towards the Severn Bridge I suppose???  I could get that far  :fc: .
Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again !!

Afraid I would get rid of OH! If you love the lifestyle you may well regret getting rid of everything. If relationship doesn't work out you might wish you had kept some of your favourites.


Perhaps there might be someone near you who would like the small holding work. It doesn't have the land or money to invest and could share with you.


I would look at that short term cos as others have said you may end up resenting your partner for forcing you to do this.


Will speak to OH as some things might be useful and we are not far in Wiltshire. Best of luck, I feel for you

If I got rid of OH, I would need to find another OH with enough money to go halves and a love for mud, sh*t and tears - that would be hard I think.......
