I just found this forum today. I have lived fairly frugally most of my life; I try to be self reliant tho things don't always work out that way. currently I am breeding chickens; some for show, a lot for meat and eggs. This years garden so far has been a bust due to our drought. It is finally raining some after four dry months. Perhaps the fall garden will do better if I can get rid of the varmints. The rats and squirrels have been terrible this year, eating everything right down to the ground.
So just me, my Maremma (Italian sheepdog/livestock guardian dog), two kittens, about eighty chickens and a dozen ducks. On twenty acres of hilly desert scrubland. Anyone else from AZ>

I hope the weather changes and you'll get some much needed rain soon! What breed(s) chickens do you keep and show?
