The Flying T Ranch BlogMisadventures in homesteading, sustainable living, and subsistence farming in New Hampshire. Horses, Boer Goats, Chickens, Muscovy Ducks, and Produce.
It’s pretty amazing what the writers turn out of their fenced suburban plot in Colorado.
(And they’re much better at photography than I am).
Also, if you haven’t already, spend some time reading the forums at http://www.backyardchickens.com There are lots of folks raising chickens on very small plots (even urban high-rise rooftops and apartments – though I can’t imagine raising them inside)!
Please feel free to comment or respond - we may take a bit to get back to you (between feeding animals, mucking stalls, mending fences, and chasing the goats out of the chicken coop again!) Cancel reply
Word for Today
"Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth? They crouch down and bring forth their young; their labor pains are ended. - Job 39:1-3

I so want to keep hens but I think our garden is probably too small. I would just love for us to produce our own eggs.
