One of the new \"project\" channels will have to be build a commune, metaphorically.\r

\n

The commune will have to raise chickens.\r

\n

For a household of 2 people, 4 chickens is a manageable amount of work.\r

\n
    \n
  • Secure a location safe from predators\r
    • \n
  • Create a shed-sized structure\r
    • \n
  • Routinely provide food and water\r
    • \n
  • Semi-routinely clean the structure\r
    • \n
  • Collect eggs on a regular basis.\r
    • \n

\n \ud83d\udca1\n for a small-scale operation, one would generally buy chicks rather than have a rooster.\r\n

For a commune of 60 people:\r

\n
    \n
  • There would be at least 50 chickens.\r
    • \n
  • There would have to be some chicken identification system; not all workers will sight-recognize all chickens.\r
    • \n
  • This would require a dedicated structure, designed to require minimal climate control.\r
    • \n
  • This would require a dedicated system manager \n \ud83d\udca1\n ( and an understudy to the manager)\n , as well as dedicated daily work-shifts \n \ud83d\udca1\n ( feeding, egg-collecting, and cleaning tasks)\n .\r
    • \n
  • Chicken feed would have to be secured on an industrial scale.\r
    • \n
  • A standard city water connection would be sufficient.\r
    • \n
  • The waste disposal might be done via a standard sewer system.\r
    • \n
  • The chickens would probably be eaten after 36-48 months.\r
    • \n
