Backyard chickens…

Ours are small enough I have a little while. Of course we are reaching out to friends to see if we can acquire “a few more”
I have 13 laying hens now and they go through:
40lb bag of scratch and 40lb bag of crumbles about every 2 to 3 weeks.
I have a 1/2 acre for them to forage on and they get food scraps.
Add those costs in along with having to feed chicks for 6 months before you get a single egg.

I have 22 chickens, I’m getting 18 to 20 eggs per day in average
I’ll let them roam during the day but they need a coop to keep them safe at night.
Other wise , fox, coyote , owls will have a party , ask me how I know

Just picked up some chicken's today. Time to get on predator control around the house.
The 6 p’s prior planning prevents a pppss poor performance. Before building anything, have a plan or you’ll end up doing it twice.
Watch some of these videos. https://carolinacoops.com/videos/
My son in law has been raising chickens for years and when he saw these videos he realized how much time he could save by adopting some ideas.
