"If you've never raised livestock before, keeping chickens is a great start. They're easy to raise, they don't need a lot of space, and they don't cost a lot of money to buy or to feed. Everything you learn about feeding, housing, and caring for your chickens will help you later if you decide to raise some other kind of animal." Plus you get the extra bonus of eggs and/or meat! They are also easy for your young ones to take care of and your children can learn responsibility as a bonus.
