Raising chickens

[Great-Kazoo]

In Feb everyone lost their minds durning a small ice storm but I stayed home bc you're right, NC drivers weren't prepared.


I am rolling the dice with $108... I want to see how cheap and efficiently I can raise a few birds. If they produce 1k plus eggs, Awesome; if I only get 50 eggs and cook three chickens, it's not a huge waste either. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money and I don't need a new hobby but a $100 experience is well with it to me as I would rather have a trail and error period now then when SHTF.

The satisfaction of knowing one can do it makes it all worth the time. Our daughter has a full house between cluckers & goats. Shes adding 2 cows and possibly 1 or 2 hogs.
These are the layers. The feeders, those they already processed and in the freezer. She said home grown birds are a big improvement (as always) over store purchased ones, both for eggs and eating.


They came home after processing their feeders and found these sitting on the steps. I told her they knew what happend and were there for retribution.
