I found that the Gardening Australia group and Happen Films on Youtube has some great videos! I love these two as they're short and packed with ideas! This one is called Inspiring Woman Growing a Huge Amount of Food in a Tiny Backyard in the City! I love her cute little quails!
This is like part 2, as it was filmed a little later, called A Highly Productive Small-Scale Urban Garden-
During one the films I noticed she recycled an old barbecue into a mini seed sprouting and planting station, here's some screen shots, great idea!

Building a Coop/Chicken Run-
Another fun video-
I will say I was shocked how much chickens cost in Australia!! You can buy grown hens here for under $10.00 or less, depending on where you live. In the U.S. they always suggest quarantining your birds for a few weeks, unless she bought them all from the same breeder. Loved her reinforcing job on the fence line.

Great fun and informative also. Love the quail!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks I've had the time to go through more of these videos with being homework and getting lots of inspiring ideas! Yes I thought her Quail were very very cute very petite!
There's so much one can do in a small lot right in town or wherever your house and yard is. (You've proven that, for sure, Nancy!) What a waste to have nothing but lawn to mow when you could have chickens (or quail!) for eggs, rabbits for meat and raise one heckuva lot of food for your table.
Yes we can always do more, we've decided to trellis more veggies up to plant more
