Agree about backyard poultry and mother earth news and also get hobby farms. Don't know what the problem is with hobby farms, I have gotten some useful information from it and find some very enjoyable reading there and I am in no means a "city boy". The largest community I have ever lived around is where I currently am with about 125 people within a 5 mile radius. But I guess I do have a menagerie of farm animals. I currently have chickens, guineas, cattle, goats, hogs, and honeybees. I find the variety very enjoyable and tasty.
