IIRC chickens were a relatively modern addition to human agriculture. For actual caveman livestock you should be keeping snails.
I do like saltwater snails. Don’t know about the French wineyard type, but I guess they’re OK as well.
I’d eat that
Ditto.
No joke, I used to be a snail rancher. If not for keeping up appearances, our tanks could have been filthy and cranked 'em out.
Chickens are awesome. But they don’t ged rid of ticks, they can get mites, and they attract hawks, skunks, raccoons, and foxes.
Guinea hens eat ticks tho, and are also very entertaining. And a little bigger, hold off against some predators.
An attack cassowary is a great addition to any domestic fowl pen. Make the egg laying spots accessible from outside containment, cassowary care not for peace with humans.
I love the idea of an Attack Cassowary. Full on Dinosaur.
My buddy’s chickens annihilated his dog’s fleas, no other intervention needed. I was a little stunned that they could catch those tiny things in numbers enough to make a difference. They did!
Also be a nice pet with some emotional intelligence & could bring a smile on my face just looking at them running around all silly.
Who said we didn’t domesticate dinosaurs
They’re lovely creatures in their own way, I try to only eat those who had a good life, with thanks for the sacrifice. Maybe I’ll be a vegan one day, currently it’s not sustainable yet for me.
