Our neighbor's dog killed half of our chickens. I quoted them a price for the birds which included potential sale of the extra eggs. I figured 6 years on average for our birds to live. She told me that it was only 2-3 years.
What is the average lifespan of a backyard chicken that is locked up at night and free range a bit during the day?
Also what would you charge? She was adimate at just paying a $20 a bird, but it needs to include egg Production imo. And not just buy me new chickens. They would have lived a long life with us and we wouldn't have been getting new ones anytime soon
