Happy chickens! Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 This is our long term dream - have bought this hill in Crete and one day will build a house and retire there, with our chickens, goats and bees..... ahh one day. Oops, don't know why so big, grrr! Have tweaked it. Egluntine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy chickens! Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Anytime you like - no running water or elec yet - shall we wait a bit?! OH is 43, hopes to have up and running for retirement.... 43 olive trees already (I counted last week) 1 mulberry tree and what looks like a pomegranate, but not 100% sure. Lots of sweet smelling weeds like sage and thyme. Think the locals grow a LOT of courgettes if the menus are anything to go on. It's mostly a bit too rocky for much, but there are streams down the bottom each side and some more fertile ground by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Wow! You've already bought it, how I'll be up for the meet I can see many a goat and chicken living there Can you speak Greek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 The farmer we bought it off still has his flock of goats there! Don't speak Greek (yet) but do have good intentions of learning it. Need to find out if they have foxes - chicken heaven if not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
