I read the #1 commodity during the depression was not gold or silver - it was eggs! I don’t have chickens as I have no experience but I’ve noted the neighbors who do have them - also the closest orchards & those who have honey. For meat? Idk - gonna have to fish and hunt birds & such 🤷♀️
rabbit and squirrel as well though, as my mom told me, "can both be wormy so if you go there, be sure you cook overly well." Kinda turned me off of small game :P however, I did go look into some vids of people who do hunt and cook such things.
Domesticated Rabbit or Chickens seem to me the best bet for most people, they do not need a lot of room or special feed. Chickens are imo the best because of eggs, what you do not need to cull the bird itself for food. You should go chat with your neighbors!
