Excellent post!
I live in the suburbs of a great City; but they are now allowing chicken hens in the backyard, in many jurisdictions. Zucchini is a great food for the hens.
(Everyone who is interested should petition for allowing chicken hens in their backyard! Free Eggs (after the initial cost, the feed, um.....:-)
But, I think that Chickens are a great thing to include in one’s first approach to “homesteading” or “prepping”.

When I bootlegged the commercial piglet, the neighbor and I had the city inspector thinking it was a very ugly dog that lived in a small fence.
Of course, I never really let him see the 'dog' known as Miss Piggy. He did get to have some of her later, Ribs I think, and never knew the connection. LOL!.
I have no problems being mean to government guys.
