The chicken life started for my wife and I 3 years ago. It's become a part of our dailey routine and a great source of enjoyment for our children!

We spend $24 a month on Lay-Pellets to feed 14 hens (5 of which don't lay eggs for different reasons). Depending on the time of year ... their laying an average of about 7 eggs per day over the span of a year. Rounding figures that is about a $1 dollar per dozen eggs. We feed them ALL scraps ...
