[quote=Anonymous]I'm the Frederick poster from earlier in the thread - OP, if you are just wanting chickens and a garden, you will only need 1-2 acres for that. But - make sure you don't buy/rent in a subdivision with an HOA because most HOAs have restrictions on livestock and poultry. The formula for how much land you need for livestock is 2 acres for every 1000 lbs of animal. So - one cow/horse that weighs 1000 lbs, 5 goats @ 1000 lbs, or 200 chickens that weigh 1000 lbs equals 2 acres. Most breeds of chickens lay an egg a day during the warm months, some breeds will give you 2/day, so have a plan with what you want to do with all those eggs. My mother used to make egg noodles and I would walk into the kitchen and almost hang myself on strands of pasta draped all over the damn place. DH and I give our extras to coworkers, because pasta making is too much work for me right now. ;) [/quote]
