Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia, about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online, so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

If you have a big enough yard, you don't even need chicken feed, because they eat the bugs in the dirt, I used to have these animals in my yard for many years as a kid, they are great resources.
We didn't have a special facility to keep them in a coop either, so they laid their eggs pretty much all over the yard which US kids were sent out to hunt for the eggs every morning,the chicken's pretty much fed themselves and took care of themselves, even during the winter, we didn't have a special provision or place for them to go in the backyard during rain sun or snow, we had these animals for roughly two decades straight until we moved.
They are incredibly efficient creatures, and they will keep your soil incredibly rich, I should know because I had to go and mow the lawn and the backyard many many times and it was a pain in the ass, but everything's a pain in the ass and you're a kid everything that you don't want to do is always a pain in the ass.
But my dad needed me to do it, and I also got some kind of a violence for doing it, most kids I knew gotten allowance for cleaning their room, how productive is that? Kind of retarded if you ask me, I mean I was actually doing something in comparison to these other spoiled kids, but anyway that's besides the point.
Chickens - are FANTASTIC....
They are rotary hoes on legs... and they dig up everything and keep the soil turning over....
They dig the dirt in with the vegetable matter, and mulch as they go.
And they are constantly putting down land mines of love...... (chicken shit every where)
They are great....
They eat almost everything that people can eat....
AND they keep the weeds and grass down too....
They are brilliant.
