My DH keeps saying we should get a dairy cow. As much milk as my two boys go through it would be cheaper and I'd have to mow my lawn a lot less. But problem is... HE wants the cow and I know who's gonna have to milk it and take care of it- ME! Thats what started our chicken math attacks.... He says "we have this big shed, we should build a pen and coop and get some chickens." So I build the pen while he's at work, build more cages and pens and nesting boxes, and I feed them and collect the eggs. And the chicken math hasn't stopped yet! ROFL 21 outside, 11 are almost 8 weeks, the rest are 6+ months. And 32 eggs in the incubators, and a dozen more eggs on the way! *grins* I blame it ALL on him!

LOL!! I've been wanting a dairy goat for about 10 years now. Al I need to do is move a little further out and get a little more acreage and I'll be good to go.

Goats might not multiply as fast as chickens, but they multiply just the same! We have 4 now, but if we don't sell most of our kids when they are born- in less than 2 years I can see how we could be swimming in them. LOL.

Nice share dezziy! I seriously asked my husband for a goat a few weeks ago and almost impulse bought a potbelly pig when I stopped for feed... chickens are a gateway animal!

Did you know that there are mini jerseys that are perfect for the small homestead farm? Most are only 36 to 39 inches high and give approx. 3 gallons of milk a day...They require less space and feed and are said to be friendly and easy to handle.And they are the cutest darn things I have ever seen.
