Unironically
Chinchilla
A herd of tortoises
How do you monetize tortoise?
tortoises give you a +n% luck modifier based on how old they are and while you could keep one for years to boost the chance (the intended method) you could instead also get a herd of them to stack the luck bonus. Getting a hundred of them should by default give you at least +100% luck, which means you'll get loose change drops at least once a day. That's a significant chunk of change if you also spec into crit luck (which you should be doing anyway)
Let them grow to a huge size over a couple centuries, then rent out their shells on AirBnB
The babies can sell for insane amounts
Not sure if they're the most profitable but pigeons are dead easy to keep and you can sell the squabs and their guano.
>Is it the humble chicken?
It's those belligerent chickens, yes.
Most valuable relative to space? Id guess minks, chinchillas or russian sables. Unethical sure but if this is about profit.
Who the frick is gonna raise minks in the backyard?
I'd assume some really shady slavic types. I'm guessing they sleep most of the day like ferrets and aren't too demanding apart from diet.
I hear they are extremely skittish and will die if they hear a lot of noise.
Quail. But don't tell anyone.
Holy frick so cute.
Profitmax would be either dairy hair goats if you sell finished product only (ie soap and cheese and fiber goods and such instead of milk and raw fiber) or pigs. Chickens are probably #3.
Chickens are the least work and goats are the least stinky.
>goats are the least stinky
Lad, get back to me after you've smelled the smell of an intact and ready to mate male goat.
why are you smelling goat dicks
You can smell them without being near them. Because they are stinky.
IDK how it works where you're from but we can rent out Billys to mate with our girls when we need them bred. It's less smelly, takes up less space as we don't need a 2nd lot for the males, and is better for genetics diversity.
Billys piss on themselves to attract females, they stink like hell
>idk where you're from but we rent our Billys.
moron who do you think keeps the billys? Robots? People with olfactory deficiencies? Do the male goats disappear when they aren't being rented?
Fricking dumb hick
>who do you think keeps the billys?
Saps and suckers like you. :^)
>the people I pay are the real saps.
You somehow get more inbred by the minute.
Billy goats are smelly, but if you're running goats hard, you will have one stinky billy and a bunch of inoffensive nannies (you could probably avoid keeping the billy at all and just AI your nannies anyways), and that compares to turning your backyard into a pigsty or a chicken run.
>no roof
You deserve the eaten chickens

He means over the run.
Mine are free range, keeping foxes/cats/strange dogs/eagles away from them is the dog’s job. So far she’s doing great.
I have this guy roofed in for the safety of other animals, not the other way around.
Rabbits and chickens
