Baby chicks cost $6 at a supply store, but I can get a rotisserie for $5? What is the real cost of having chickens? (lemmy.ml)

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?

As to preserving the eggs, I think just vinegar works as well no? Like Moe's on the simpsons with the jar of pickled eggs.

Preserving in lime is just weird, like that ludafisk stuff. It is super caustic I wouldn't want to eat any.
