You may have to grow food for your poultry if you have the room and the physical energy. They eat practically anything. I worry about my birds’ food. I can do only so much. Anatolian shepherds protect them from the many predators in my area, so they range and forage all day. But I have to feed the dogs. If my flock of sheep increases they can provide for a lot of those needs. Fatalistic moods assail me from time to time too. All I can do is keep plodding on in the homestead endeavor. “The prudent man sees the evil and hides himself; the simple keep going and suffer for it” Proverbs 22:3.
