what livestock and poultry do you raise?

[firefowl]

Just curious to know what production animals people are raising in their backyards and what for. And also what you plan on getting in the future.

At the moment I have:

* Chickens - 5 hens and 1 rooster raising for eggs
* Quails coturnix - 12 hens and 2 roosters, split into two cages one for growouts for slaughter and one for breeders and eggs

In future I plan on getting:

* Runner ducks x2 for pest control and eggs
* Rabbits for meats
* Miniature sheep to keep the grass down

Icelandic chickens and Coturnix quail. Hoping for ducks, maybe Muscovies.

Bantams and quail, i had geese and ducks before. I am selling my angora show goats from last year, and am showing a brahma heifer this year. I have my first batch of 34 quail eggs hatching next weekend

I have chickens for eggs and occasionally meat. Will be doing broilers once I get everything lined up. I also have rabbits for meat and for selling as well. A duck for a pet and occasional eggs. A potbelly pig for a pet as well.

I have 27 chickens, mainly bantams, primarily pets as I don't really eat eggs. A few are show birds and I do sell chicks and started pullets.

I just got six goats for brush control. Four are pregnant. I am trying to decide if I want to sell the adults or babies. It depends on how much progress I can make with them as far as being okay with my dogs and being easier to catch for trimming feet and health checks.
