I would LOVE to have my own chickens....but the RULES around having chickens are strict here...I’m still trying to find a place for a chicken house in my little yard..LOL...I’m thinking once the SHTF...no one will care about the rules...
A substitute for chicken meat is rabbit meat, perhaps you can have some ‘pet’ rabbits. Easy to reproduce, heavens knows. Never ate one myself (or Guinea Pigs, like the Peruvians do) I have Bambi problems.
