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?
That is clearly true. But again I had no idea of how much they actually cost to produce - that's why I was looking for people with actual experience growing them.
But now I have a way clearer answer, and learnt a lot of fascinating information on the way.
