Title: What can i keep in this area
Post by: Christo on August 30, 2016, 06:31:44 pm

Hello, we have just cleared out a small space at the back of our garden and we are wondering what form of livestock or poultry we can keep there.
 The land is about 225 square feet (15 by 15) but is oddly shaped so is a little more 275. We own 7 acres of wood land about a 15 minuets drive from the house but no pasture directly available.
Thank you for your help.

I notice you've posted this in the "Pigs" section but that's nowhere near enough room for an ark and a solitary pig (and pigs should never be kept by themselves).  You could keep maybe four large fowl hens in a coop and run, which would leave you enough space to move the coop to fresh ground occasionally.

Well  fenced woodland would be the ideal place to keep pigs!
