FUND A PROJECT
Project S.O.S ( Shelter Our Sheep)
Our sheep herd is growing and there are more sheep waiting for a safe place. In order to make room we want to build a 16×24 sheep barn and fence in over an acre of new pasture. It is ideal for the sheep herd to have their own area to better met their specific dietary needs.
S.O.S needs your help to fund this project and complete it before the end of summer. To date we have raised $1,100 towards our $4500 goal. To help click on the donate button on our website or facebook.
THIS PROJECT COMPLETED THANKS TO A GRANT FROM THE BINKY FOUNDATION
Project Cash For Coops
Backyard chicken coops and residential ordinances prohibiting roosters and limiting flock sizes have created the need for a safe place for unwanted chickens. When the cute fluffy chick turns out to be a rooster it has to be removed before neighbors complain. As hens get older their egg production decreases and these older hens must go to make room for younger hens.
We are currently working on turning an old garage into two coops with large fenced yards. By creating two separate coops and yards we promote the safety and well- being of the chickens and prevent teritorial disputes amongst roosters. We also will be able to rotate yards to allow the grass to grow.
