Fresh eggs are gathered daily; a fresh bedding of hay is put down so that the eggs remain clean.


breed has survived well in the country for hundreds of years and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. Both the Spanish goat and the Barbados sheep are excellent sources of meat for the small farm.


Poultry On our farm our most productive


producers are our poultry in our por- table chicken coop or a chicken trac- tor, as they have become known. We built our chicken tractor to be pulled by our small 4-wheel-drive tractor. We move the chicken tractor every two days to a new section of fresh grass. The chickens are able to pick the ground for bugs and seeds. This in return makes the chickens able to pro- vide the most delicious eggs. The yolks are of a deep orange color. You can ac- tually taste a difference. We keep eight chickens in our little portable coop. We average about six eggs per day. We also keep a rooster just in case. We don’t currently raise chicks, but hav- ing the ability to do so is very cheap and great insurance. A good rooster is under $50. That is much cheaper than a registered breeding bull. Many preppers will dream of mov-


ing to a rural homestead and being self-sufficient. With some work and dedication even a small piece of land can become a very productive farm. It will give you a place to live, food on the table, and peace of mind know- ing that you will be able to survive long-term based on your skills and the ground around you, not the cans of food you buy at the supermarket. With a little work it can even be used to supplement your income. The idea of living off the fruits of one’s own la- bor is still alive and well. Anyone can grow their own food, it just takes the idea of independence and the ability to say, “I can.” *
