go with chickens you would prob need 4 to 6 chickens but if you want to do more with the eggs you will need more. i have 3 hens and iam now going to put that number up to 9 and one cockerel. i dont get enough eggs out of 3.
oh i would like to here more about the piglet thinking of doing the same but i think you need 2 pigs so they can keep each other company.

alan :)
if you have chickens you have rats

The only thing I will say is when you get them take a stop watch out with you otherwise you WILL be late for work every day ;)

Our ducks are in a shed at the moment!!!!  They don't need fancy housing so bear that in mind!!   Keep us informed i'm so excited!!!!

I have decided....its DUCKS :D :D

sorry to the chicken side..but the ducks have won!
it won't be happening till early summer now but i will keep you all posted, will take pics as well.
i have sourced kahki campbells just 20mins away, so looks like thats the breed i'll start with, i'm told they are good layers and slug eaters.
i have an old dog kennel which looks perfect for a small conversion to a duck house

CAN'T WAIT soooooo Veeeerrrry exciting 8)

thanks again for everyones help ;)
oh no, another pair of leaky wellies!

I think you'll be happy with your decision scotty. :)

Just be prepared for a large water bill and lots of wasted hours. Dog kennel sounds ideal.

Good luck with the preparations.

Congratulations!

I would never be without mine. Can't wait for the pictures of yours.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
