I personally think that kids can get by on a lot less food than they consume... I would reinvest the first egg monies you get and buy MORE chickens just to be sure you have the maximum 10 dozen eggs every 2 weeks. Let those kids be a little hungry for a couple more months. Consider it your contribution to helping out an already obese nation(myself included). Soon you'll be up to the maximum of 10 dozen eggs... just think of all the groceries you'll be able to buy with an extra $14.85 a week, the fine educations you'll be able to afford all 5 kids, and the overall improvement of your everyday lifestyle.
Thanks so much for your kind advice! I really think i wll just stay with the extra 20 hens i just bought. My kids are such a blessing, and they have already given up so much! When i left their daddy, we had to move in with my mother and granny, who live in a small trailer.Not even a double-wide, so you can imagine how cramped it is. The way I look at it, is every little bit helps, and I'm just thankful that BYC is making this new egg selling program available!

That does sound cramped. Another advantage to reducing the kids intake is they won't grow as fast which will allow for more 'breathing' room in that trailer. Keep looking forward to your big payday. If you can get by with just one bag of feed a week at 14.50 a bag... your investment will have paid itself off in roughly 11 years... then it will be pure profit from there on out.
