aren't chickens pretty dirty animals as well ub?? i know i had to take care of a friends small farm a couple of times, and the chickens seemed to shit every where..
i really liked the mini goats, but i don't know about eating them.. i'm sure you could drink their milk though..
they are dirty, but the ducks are worse. i only have to change out the coop every two weeks in summer, every week in winter as it rains more.

Thanks, I've been thinking of more ways to be less dependent and sustain myself. Chickens seem like a 2 for 1 deal. Eggs and meat. I did however view them as probably noisy. My closest neighbor is only 20 yards a way or so. Hmm not sure.
go for it.

city ordinances here call for their coop to be 10 feet from the property line, but our coop is only 5 feet or so from the property line.

they are not that noisy, even the regular size hens. only when laying do they get loud, which is once a day for 15 minutes at most.

omg, you don't have to tell me about ducks uncle buck.. i like to go fishing at a few lil lakes near my house, and idk, about ten years or so ago, they had to redo this one lake near me as it got all infested from all of the duck shit.. now they have big ass signs warning about feeding the ducks and all there..
and i went to this one lake i never tried before for shits and giggles, and they had this lil paved walk all the way around the lake.. the whole fucking walk was covered in duck shit the entire way around the lake.. needless to say, i didn't go back their again, lol...

lol, why are they loud when they lay?

they just bock and lay eggs at the same time?

how many eggs does each chicken lay?

do you have brown or white? i would definitel want brown chickens.

...whole new layer of meaning to "cocked and locked", lol

I like chickens. (Not the same way I like turtles. I'll always be true to Testudines.) They're very pleasant to keep around, but they need their own enclosures. They'll peck the ground bare where they get to run, and the garden needs watching. And the dog thing ... segregate. But when I was still married, with chickens, they would sanitize the area around the house, and our bug problems vanishes. free-range eggs are the very best. Just don't have a rooster ... those are life support systems for a car alarm with testicles. cn

Yeah what would be the point of a rooster? I'm not familiar with chickens at all, I'd assume it's to breed with the hens to get more chickens, right? If you're not breeding them, no need for the cock?

They'd have to be like 5' from my house too if I had them, and I doubt my dad would allow it, he probably thinks they're noisy as hell.. Is that the case, or just once a day like you said (Buck)? Think my neighbors would bitch? Closest one is probably 50 feet away. I have this area outside my house where my garden currently sits that's about 15' wide x 40' long that I was thinking of building a small chicken coop for and have em chill in there and free range around the rest of the garden when under supervision (with the rest of the plants enclosed). Do chickens harm crops or just make a huge mess out of the yard if not watched?

There are a ton of stray cats around here too, bastards, they CONSTANTLY use my garden bed as a litter box. They would probably be a pain in the ass with the chickens too..

I don't eat much meat these days, but I'll tell you that when my plants finished, I felt really bad for cutting
into them with scissors :eyesmoke:
I couldn't kill an animal, but a plant I have no problem with. You're just cutting the end part of their life out. Its like euthanasia on the old

I will hunt, kill, and clean my own meat without blinking. Never understood people that couldn't do that but have no problem going to mcdonalds and ordering a burger. Don't forget, its not like animals don't do the same for us. I think its in a remote part of India that tigers are on top of the food chain and use the villages out there like their chicken coop. They'll just go into their houses and drag a person out into the forest and eat them without a second thought. You think they think, "This poor human, what about his rights?" Hell no, their to busy eating.

If you want to go all there, actually, no, if you just cropped that plant theirs a good chance it would live on to produce more crop the next year after another vegetative state. To make it worse, we have like 40,000+ genomes, plants have well over 100,000, their dna is way more complex then ours. With animals their is no cropping, you either eat that bastard or you don't.
