Maybe I'm a little harsh but my chicks are born outside and they stay there their entire life. Mama chicken does everything for them. If she doesn't than I'll help the chicks out until they can take care of themselves but for the most part, my chicks never come inside.
Im sure I could ask store prices but I just want to get rid of extra eggs and pay for feed, also it keeps the neighbors from complaining about the rooster who goes off 24/7
I sell eggs to neighbors and co-worker, there's currently a waiting list because people want to buy them faster than my hens can lay. A dozen eggs at the store is around $4, I sell them for $2.
I have an EE that is the only one that lays other-than-Brown eggs. The other chickens eat it everyday. They don't eat brown eggs, only the EE eggs. I just thought they were racists.
