Planning a whole homestead?
The calculators above answer one question each for a place you already have. If you're still working out what to keep and how much to plant, start with How Many Do I Need? — flock and garden sizing per person, built from land-grant extension data, including where the experts disagree and why.
These give you a number. Harold gives you yours.
A calculator works from averages. Homestead Paradise works from your own records — what your flock actually laid, what your feed actually cost — and Harold reads them and tells you when something's off.
