The 12 acres figure is with trees and berries, as well as some decorative plants.
Also people still steal chickens if its easy enough, so clip their wing and try to keep them on your property.
- checkyoursudo 4y agoSo about 4-5 ha? We do not eat meat really. Maybe at a restaurant, or some fish at home, but not really otherwise. I could handle raising some chickens for eggs or otherwise as pest control when they are infertile. I used to tend to the chickens on my grandma's farm throughout my childhood. How many chickens for 5 ha of gardens+trees+berries, do you think?
- orwin 4y agoDepends on the chicken type. You ought to ask local farmers. My father have very aggressive black chickens, a rare breed named after a town 10 km north. 2 of them do the same damage as 6 factory chickens. And it depends on your needs in eggs too. 3-4 chickens for a family of 4 is enough if you only eat eggs occasionally. My grandmother bought 12 chickens every two years for a family of 3.
