Leslie,
The chickens may have a tough time with the hawks. We will have to figure how to keep the donkeys away from the horses so we do not end up with more mules, for awhile any way. The mules should be okay. The winters have kept most of the Californians away for about 9 months of the year, so you won't have that issue to deal with for 3/4 of the year, and they prefer the West side of the divide mostly anyway. If you have any extra room in either the horse trailers or U-hauls, before leaving southern Indiana, I might have you bring my old man along too, his wife needs a break, but my wife may hurt me if you do that. I will have to think on that one a bit.
