good on you. we have 22 laying hens and 2 ducks. i wanted to do meat birds and rabbits, but the wife drew the line there. she does 90% of the chores, so i don't bitch. we don't eat that much chicken or duck anyway so overpaying at the store from time to time is what it is. i swap lard and tallow with my neighbor for rabbit. beef/pork fat is priceless come deer season if you have it and want to be a prick. same thing with beef bones, i pawn those off for feed when we butcher. small town life is where it is at. i'm not a survivalist, i'm just not stupid enough to buy from the store jew any more than what i have to.
