Not to appear rude, but you obviously haven't been looking at the average prices of laying hens. If you're lucky, you will find a 1 year old layer for less than $15. I have been lucky to find four hens for $12 a piece and recently couldn't pass up the deal of two 6 month olds for $10 a piece! Be patient and watch craigslist, but don't be too picky on breeds if you want cheap price.

WHY ON EARTH would this person be allowed by law to have another dog, let alone ANY pet! That really makes me mad. I dont understand why something cant be done legally to keep jerks like that from owning pets! What happened to 3 strikes and you are out! Can you call the Sheriff department or animal control or something? Good luck and I hope I never have a problem like this as I would probably take it in my own hands.

The owner said they were taking the dog to the pound today after a few of the neighbors all of us had a chat with the owner and she admited she cant take care of the dog anymore. we will see what happens from here.If not we will be making the call ourselves

what an amazing looking dog! WOW!

thank you we think so . My daughter was a vet tech and also worked at a private kennel and the owner would drag him behind his car , beat him, was training him for dog fights and almost cut all his ears off when He was just a pup. my daughter would care for the dog when the guy would leave him at the kennel. Thank god this bad man was sent to prison and my daughter adopted him from a life of cuelty. He is the sweetest boy and now a old man. Anyway I guess we all better get back to talking about chickens lol

 

[GoldBarRanch]

Average cost of a laying hen 20.00
Average cost of day old chick 3.50
Average cost of a 3 to 4 week old pullet 8.00 to 10.00

Average time it takes a pullet to start laying eggs 4 to 6 months (sometimes more)
Average cost for food a month for 4 hens 18.00 (or more)
Average food dish 15.00
Average cost of auto waterer 40.00
Average cost of a chicken coop and chicken run 350.00 (cheapiest of cheapo and must build yourself) to 2,000.00 (easily more!)
Other expenses needed to raise and/or care for chickens: Water bill, medicine costs, dead loss (money put into raising but end up dead..I.E. to the neighborhood dog for example), bedding cost (straw or wood shavings), vitamin supplements, the list goes on!

I listed this so you have an idea of what the costs are to the person selling the laying hens. As you can see, 20.00 a hen is a steal of a price! They are losing a lot of money at that price. If you had to raise them yourself, you would be easily several hundreds dollars in the hole. People who sell hens are certainly not in it for the money

Please understand that no one on here is offended with your asking inquiry. We are simply giving you this information for information purposes, that way you can have a better understanding of why the prices are the way they are. Hopefully you will be able to obtain your desired breeds, but beware of the chicken math!

Did you know that the average age of the eggs sold in grocery stores is about 45 days old?
