RE: Do you keep food critters
Like TH my father kept "FLEMISH GIANTS" and sold them...easy to keep and multiply fast...and they are BIG.

Chickens ....you could start off with 4/6 hens and 1 cock (if you are a family of 4/6 ) meat and eggs.....you could barter.....Warrens are a great bet for eggs and meat.

A while back Steve told us about his smallish pigs, NOT GOT ANY YET myself , or GOATS come to that but.....all will come very shortly.

Quayle have been talked about on here also ....maybe good for city slicker's ? did think of getting some ....but i thought chooks a better bet for me .

If your new to keeping live FOODS try rabbits its easy they make no noise and you get a lot back for not much in.

Wildebeast......tend to trample the veg and take out the poly tunnel and greenhouse when they head out west every year......and i only had three hundred.......they failed to return this year......spect some Geordie bastards got mine.......they love them up there don't you know !
