what is the easiest farm animal to start with?

Though there’s no black and white answer, some animals are certainly much easier than others as you begin your homestead. As you consider which animals to add first, think about the knowledge you have, how much space is available, and the needs of your family.

Which farm animals have the lowest maintenance?

Bees are perhaps the lowest-maintenance of all. They require no fencing, and you won’t need to get an animal-sitter if you leave for a few days. In fact, bees can go weeks without requiring any care.

Which animals are best for raising for food?

If you’re just getting started on your homestead, chickens may be the best animal for feeding your family. Depending on age, breed, and season, a hen can produce around 5 eggs per week. Hens generally start laying when they are 18-20 weeks old.
