Lifestock and Amimals Introduction

This catagory will deal with our attempts at keeping a few chickens, perhaps a couple of geese, a dog well past his sell-by date, and hopefully two milk goats. If the kids and their dad have their way this may also include a horse.
We are planning to keep a rooster and about two dozen chickens to get a reasonable supply of eggs, and take one or two for the pot each week.
If we do get the goats, it will be for milk, and this will not only give us fresh milk, but will allow us to try our hand at some cheese and yogurt making.
We will definitly also get a bee hive established.
Oh, and the good news (not) is that Skye is saving up for a kitten.
If I can find a way to ensure that there is no environmental impact, and everything is legal and above board I would also like to try a few rabbits (to eat and for their pelts) and a pig or two to help dispose of our waste, and for the pot.
