maf2008: You can call me names all you like....it does not bother me. Those who know me around here know what kind of a person I am. I am not bitter or jealous, but I know you do not believe that. I call them as I see them and you are painting an unrealistic picture for all the new people...

Quote: I've always raised chickens for the same reason I've always had dogs, cats and cattle.....I enjoy them. The cattle are the only one of the four that I make any money from, but I don't have any plans to get rid of the rest. As far as farmers either making a profit or not.....everything...

response to removed post....removed.

Quote: Maybe it's because us country folk have more sense on what to pay for a chicken!

Quote: You could at least get my name right...... I don't use used cartons for my eggs.....you never know where the freebies you get have been.

Quote: If you're going to sell them you might want to learn how to spell the breed correctly....it's Cuckoo Marans. Speckled Sussex and Welsummers are not hard to find breeds. Good ones are, but many hatcheries sell them. I hope you're telling your customers that they may not get the dark...

Quote: Hardly jealous...just not buying what she's claiming.

Quote: She won't even say if that is projected profits or if that's what she's sold since July or what. Interesting that she hasn't shared that bit of info. I think we'd all be interested to know. I don't want to see your check book.....just want to know how long a period the $3000 is...

I'd still like for you to tell us where the $3000 figure comes from.....is that projected income?....is it since you asked about selling birds back on July 15?

Quote: So just how long have you been raking in $3000 doing this? Is that per month, per year? I don't think it's a year since you haven't had chickens that long and in July you were asking people how they sold their chickens to make back their feed money. Here's that thread...

Quote: You say you purchase bulk grains.....do you not feed them grower or layer feeds? I supplement my flock with a lot of free grain since we are grain farmers, but just grain and grass isn't real good for them. If you are free range you can get by with that since they get a lot of what...

Good luck to you on your venture, but I've been doing this a long time and by the time you raise them to sell them as POL pullets there isn't a lot of money to be made out of them, unless you're selling show quality birds from well-known breeding line. Unless you are totally free-ranging your...
