The first year or two it is basically building your pens & coops and building your flock. So it's costly. Once you get past that stage yes you can. Selling the eggs pays for the feed. So once your established it's profitable as long as you breed what people want.
My cuckoo are the only ones laying and their eggs are brown with dark specks. My others have not started laying but were hatched from the dark eggs. Hopefully I'll know within the next 3 months with the other 4 colors.
Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take to get NIPI certified in Alabama? Would like to know who to contact, what they do and how often they test. This is all new to me about NIPI and really need the information.
Started last year with 60 chicks. Currently with chicks to grown ups I have approximately 200. Have chosen finally on the breeds I want to breed and sell. I have 13 I've settled and they are...
1) Blue laced red Wynadottes
2) Rhode Island Reds
3) Buff orphingtons
4) Black australops
5) Lavendar...
