Have new folks that moved in down the country road a bit. Young couple with 4 home schooled kids. On 2 acres. Right on the road. They have 200 birds chicken, turkeys, guineas, ducks, 4 goats, 4 pigs. Small pens for some animals some of the birds they just shew up in trees at night. Getting off the matter. The animals are in the not so wide road. At times you have to run the ditch to miss hitting another car truck. Back roads people tend to drive in the center and way too fast. Son in law hit 2 birds thursday morning that flew up. Neighbors are fussing. I had to stop and wait till a hurd of birds and a cat walked down the road this evening. Had a car slam on his breaks behind me. Cause i was stopped. So what do you all do? Im finding another way to cross the road.

Ya seem like too many critters for the land. Unless you butcher for your self, sell eggs to offset cost it gets expensive in feed. At least in our area Tractor Suppy is new to us since summer. Before we drove an hour each way to feed store. Im glad I'm not trying to handle all that and home school 4 kids. My guess is when enough get killed with no damages to folks vehicle s or they get sued they fill change things. More power to the second generation hippy kids. My husband got raised in Oregon with 4 siblings in a revamped school bus. His folk still live in the bus. Gota love it.
