Depends on a lot of factors. The more birds you have, bigger the coop and run you need and the more those things will cost. Sexed chicks from the feed store usually cost about $2 to $3. Hatchery chicks cost about the same, but you also have to pay shipping. Feeders and water founts cost about $9 to $20. Then there is the brooder. You can build one, or you can try to find a very large cardboard box. Do not bother with using storage tubs. Those usually create an oven effect and are too small for more than a week or two of use. They grow very fast, doubling in size each week for the first 6 weeks. Chicks will also need a heat source. Heat lamps are the most frequently used, but there are other, more natural ways, to keep chicks warm. I prefer to use a heating pad on my chicks. It's much cheaper and safer.Chicken really how much total besides feed do you spend. And what would be the overall cost to start up, and the monthly?
