Heya...All.....
When Marjory wrote asking if anyone had fall laying geese....it reminded me that I have been wanting to ask this vast group about something for a while....
As I've mentioned before, I live on lake front property in Northern Wisconsin...my garden center (on the same property) is on the corner of two very busy highways as well. Our 2 acres does have shoreline that is far away from the highways, but the DNR has strict laws about livestock within 1000 feet of the lake...so...alas I am without goats and chickens at this point in my life.
They did suggest that I could keep native foul for eggs and butchering (seems like an oxymoron to me???), just no domestic birds or foul...but I have had trouble finding any information about keeping "wild" birds along the lake. Housing would be the biggest concern during the winter up here....I mean...geez...they all fly south for the winters as a rule....
Anyone who knows about this sort of thing can either contact me through this list..or contact me at my email addy....love and peace...lynnann
