mainly pheasant (beat on a commercial shoot), ducks and geese i have got through wild fowling, roe, pork that grow on from wearers at home,
want more pigeon, so need to get off my butt and knock on doors for permissions.... having moved around lots in my life so not from area local to where i know live.... its a pain sometimes.
have 14 hens so eggs are plentiful with the excess sold at the gate.
if you want hens, see if you have a commercial organic farm near you. last lot when they sent them off to meat cost me 20 quid for 15!..... shows how much profit some of these 'charities' make rehoming chooks.

90+% for us. Venison, duck and pheasant, all harvested locally. Satisfying to know where the meat came from.

ive got two roe to butcher this weekend, a little bit of bass some dog fish and various bits of munty and chinese, is it fair to call released pheasants wild? i guess they are more free range than most chickens but wild seems a stretch for me

We've got venison, duck, goose, rabbit, pigeon, pheasant. Anything else we have comes from our local butcher who rears all his own stock out on grass all year round.
We're guilty of the supermarket veg etc but trying to change that, as well as getting chickens for eggs and meat

Blow the day job! Grub grubbing is a lot more fun than money grubbing!
There is a happy medium - accept a lower income in return for a lifestyle that enables you to produce more of your own food.
