Also try and get a a trio of dairy goats. A Buck and two does.
They will supply you with meat and milk, as well as goat hide
which makes excellent leather for jackets and gloves. They drink
al most no water and prefer to eat brush and bushes. (Your rose
garden is a great feast for them). The will also bleat at
anyone coming on the property including you.

Try ducks instead of chickens for eggs. They forage more on their own and
some breeds (Khaki Campbells) lay just as well as chickens. Geese are
excellent foragers, but they don't lay for very long.

I've found ducks to be more hardy, less likely to get sick, but messier.
