How is “noxious” defined? Maybe there are other birds you could raise? Something like quail would be quiet and unobtrusive, but would still give you eggs and meat. (the eggs would be about 1/3 the size of a chicken egg, but you could fit a lot more laying birds in a small space.)

Just a thought.

You got big quail, wherever you are from. I've stolen quail eggs from nests on the ground around here and they are about the size of large lemon drops.

My Granny’s 3rd husband raised quail. I think it would be eaiser to get them to accept 3 pet chickens.LOL.

Oh, forgot when I asked about noxious - they said you know like pigs. I said well, I am not planning on raising any pigs.

No one said anything about goats or chickens or rabbits. I figure one acre minus the land taken up by the house and drive could support some bunnies, 2 o r 3 chickens and a goat. Eggs, Cereal, and Milk for breakfast, and bunny stew for supper.
