  I’ve looked into it, unless there’s a bird flu epidemic, you’re not going to be profitable. It’s literally more expensive for me to raise chickens than buy eggs from across the company.

  So I guess the solution is to spread bird flu?

    Be a true American and send the other farms infected chicken blankets.

      That depends on the value you’re looking to get out of it.

      As pets? Not too bad, and they’re a lot of fun.

      As food? Feed costs money, you need to clean out the coop, depending on where you live you’ll need to protect them (e.g. coyotes, etc), etc. There’s a fair amount of work, such that I estimate it costs quite a bit more than commercially farmed chickens. They do taste better than store bought, but it’s hard to put a number on that.
