- In this video I'll give some of the cost breakdown for running a small hobby farm. At the moment I have over 40 birds - consisting of ducks, chickens, geese, emus, quail, and guineas. I also have 5 goats and sheep and 2 donkeys.
What is the cost for feeding all of these guys? What is the infrastructure cost? Is there any money to be made? Let's break it down.

killed your sheep! :( Im sorry Im not a fan of folks who let their animals stray outside of their property, dont care if its cat or dog. So sorry...
Thank you, yeah it was terrible, I came outside to a commotion of dogs chasing my goats and sheep. They had already killed 2 sheep and injured 1 before I chased them off. They had slipped under my fence onto the property. The neighbor told me that I should shoot his dogs next time. Currently suing him for damages but yeah it's an awful thing for someone to do. They have basically no fence and their dogs roam loose.
The owner tells you to just shoot his dog!?! WTFLIP pity you cant just shoot the owner lol...
I dont know how big your boundary is but possible solar powered/backed up electric fencing and my fave hedge laying thorned brambles (good bipedal deterrent also)... Given the state of the world (And getting worse) I dont think you can be too cautious about deterrents employed... I def will be doing the electric wiring when I can spend on it being in regional country but still close to a country city with neighbors all around that are ferel and I want nothing to do with...
Yes they let their pets roam also, dogs and cats...
In my 2 years I have captured 5 cats coming to my property and surrended them to the council. Messy business but they also contaminate the soil/spread diseases to your own critters and the wild and as a Horticulturist I then have to dig up the soil and throw it away and rebuild soil in that area which I like permaculture methods but as you know they take time...
I have a 27 year old cat but she is not aloud out and has been in all her life. If you find the situation getting to much for you re legalies its okay to walk... You need your spirit/energy in the now and what's to come and unfort the legalies dont always side with the victim of any matter due to its corruption. Let me know how you go.
Beautiful birds and donkeys by the way (I still want a pair of geese lol)
All the best from down under, x Raven@@The_Duck_Man
@@TheEnchantedDuat good idea on the electric fencing! Thank you!
