Capybara.
They’re BIG guinea pigs, about the size of a small dog.

Define small dog!
A Capybara averages about 140 lbs with the largest recorded at 232 lbs.

LOL! I only have a half an acre you know.


Sion, is it still Monday?


Agreed HKMk23. The American Space Program IS something to be proud of. When Zero is gone, you can get back to the pursuit of greatness you Americans are so good at.
OTOH, Rush mentioned today that fully one third live on entitlements. That's going to have to come to a stop. There, and here. Everywhere actually.

Technically again, they both do, but with fryers you don't have to care if you have a lot of males. And they can live more or less communally, because they will have a very Hobbesian existence.

Laying hens, on the other hand, will require little apartments and other modest appurtenances. They will provide a regular rental payment in return in the form of fresh eggs.


You seem to know a lot about raising chickens.

I would need a coop no matter what, because the raccoons etc would decimate chickens in no time if they were not protected at night.

What I am wondering is:

If I bought chicks in the spring, would I get any eggs over the summer? Could I just, um, harvest them all in the late fall regardless of their gender, if I decided not to keep them over the winter?
