I do not understand the mathematics behind the dilemma. I’m assuming only the firts chicks cost money, because down the line they will breed.
But feeding them, housing them - vitamins and doctoring costs a lot of money.
So anyone with couple or more chickens - how much does it cost to have them on the table? And realistically how many eggs do you get?
Yeah, I couldn’t do it myself. The closest we got was our guinea pigs, but they are friends not food.
Yes. Friends. Until a hard winter sets in. Then can always reevaluate.
