Thanks so much for such a detailed reply Stonehead. It was extremely useful.

I absolutely back what you and the other posters have said about the economics and it not being a primary motivator, maybe I didn't explain the reason for my request very well.

Thanks again

I'd like to keep a few chickens and a couple of pigs but although I've found plenty of information on care of the animals, etc I've no idea of the economics of it. Can anyone tell me how much I need to spend on food, vet fees, etc if I get a couple of weaners and have them butchered when full grown?...
