Hey Pooka! Free pigs: [ link to houston.craigslist.org (secure)] I gotta get a stock trailer to haul the free goats. I have a large dog cage made of wire that I could use for the pigs, but they are the only species of livestock prohibited in my town. Besides, I have wild hogs I need to trap first. People need to learn to slaughter and process animals for SHTF. It's a necessary skill. On the same note, my chickens are getting old and I get fewer eggs each week. I plan to slaughter the old ones and buy new, young stock for my new chicken yard. You sure find the greatest things, Darth! Those old chickens are going to make some fine chicken and dumplings and chicken stew! Not sure a wire dog cage would contain the pigs - I think they can bite through wire. Wouldn't make much of a life for them, with no mud to root in and all that. I'd love to have chickens but haven't thought of a way to do it in this small area, and neighbors would complain about the flies. Good going, Darth - you could have a huge barn filled with animals at this rate! I am not communicating clearly. The wire cage is just for transporting the piggies to my farm; I have some fenced yards they could live in on a more permanent basis....at least until it is time for a BBQ. Ref keeping chickens in the city, if you only have hens, they are quieter. Ducks make even less noise and mine seem to eat primarily mud. I don't have many problems with flies because I put out fly traps. I share eggs with all my neighbors and that helps them accept my large flock of birds. Biggest issue is that when it rains, the chicken yard has quite an odor.
