Great video explanation. Of course there is more to raising/having chickens. But it’s very helpful for people who want to start with chickens.
You made this very clear: Do it if you like to have chickens - don’t expect it to be a profitable hobby,.

After 2 years: approximately 800 - 10 * 24 is still 560 investment. If you add a rooster and do you’re own natural breeding you have you’re return on investment after approximately 10 years. ? Chickens are a lot cheaper then other pets.

And you had a lot of joy if you like having chickens.

I like the video. For me, being a DIYer and revamping an old coop, it's well worth raising them. The pure breed chicks in my area are $3-$4 each. And I'm about to purchase 15 HiLine browns that are 1 yr old for only $3 each.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I wish I have used some old materials instead of buying everything new. I was quite inexperienced by then. $3 for one year old? That’s a great deal :)

Thank you for the video. Good information overall. I am sure that I will make many mistakes in my new endeavor but hopefully they are minimal with the help that I see I can find here.
