RE: Food for a year to feed a family of 4
Sounds wonderful. We tried to raise 600 birds one time. That was way too much. So now we raise about 100-150 each year and keep about 50 for laying eggs. That seems to be the sweet spot for us. We have our chickens out in chicken tractors so that we get grass fed chicken. They taste wonderful.
Bravo for all your efforts. It is hard work eh! We increased our garden space to 8200 square feet but just cannot seem to get the whole thing into production. We will continue to work it out. Learning these skills that were so common years ago and nearly lost is a huge challenge. I'm glad others are exploring these same questions that we are.
