[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 6615306, member: 1646"] I think the HSE are now clamping down on this so you'd need to think creatively. I believe there is no industry worse than farming for deaths and, in particular, child deaths. There are things like poo picking at stables etc that may pay him a bit of cash. Another option perhaps, set him up with some quail and just get him to cover feed costs with egg money and sell the eggs locally. It teaches him something about costs and responsibility. You'd be amazed too, they are efficient little birds. I did the sums and they don't really work as a genuine business if I am honest but there should be a nice little profit in there for say 100-150 birds... you'd just need to take the hit on the cost of buying them and the housing etc. [/QUOTE]
