I think that's part of it. If there is another earthquake or a reason we can't occupy the house for a period of time, it's unlikely that the barns, the garage, probably not the kennel because it's noisy when we are in there, could be temporarily used by human beings. <br /> If you buy Augason Farms food, a lot of the freeze dried is good for 25 years in the everyday can, or the #10 for larger families. I may actually own food that outlives me !

Also a five chickens can be housed fairly inexpensively and can be quite safe.

I've read specifically the one regarding chickens. Hubby and I are researching and putting a proposal together for our landlord to possibly get chickens. I would really like to be able to harvest eggs and later meat. I don't think we will be getting 100 or even 50, possibly 5 or 10.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-56036513843987099382013-06-26T19:00:41.772-07:002013-06-26T19:00:41.772-07:00Good post.

Hopefully they'll only be chicken sized raptors, and all I'll need is a coup. I wonder if raptors crow at sunrise?russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.com
