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?
Yah thats part of the real answer here. The $6 rotisserie chicken at Costco is sold at a loss to bring in customers and the store makes profits off their other items.
The Costco rotisserie chicken is phenomenal, though. Tastes better than other chickens, too. I make it into chicken salads frequently, after the bf claims the wings
