I was raised to believe chickens ate ticks and other bugs. My grandfather even got more chickens that free ranged in the yard if the ticks got really bad. Is this a myth?
Thanks for the replies. It’s really helpful. Like I said I’m not really expecting make money just wondering if by selling some baby chicks and eggs I can cover the cost of feed and medical care for my own flock. Basically like a break even thus making my eggs and meat virtually free.
I’m new to this so please bare with me. I’m not looking to make a fortune off hatching chicken eggs. Just wondering if it is profitable and if maybe I can use this to atleast cover the cost of upkeep for my chickens? Any input would be appreciated!
