Question by Stephen O: What is the most efficient farm animal to raise for meat on a very small scale?
I have a large backyard and I want to raise a small number of animals for meat. Chickens, rabbits, chucker partridge, are some that I am considering but I do not know about feed costs and disease resistance. I have a 2 story barn that is empty. It is 16′ x 12′.
I have raised goats, chickens and ducks many many years ago,but I need to buck up my knowlege.

What do you think? Answer below!
