Hmm not here to make "millions". Just need some business ideas opinions to help me on this little island. You got any? Or ...

We didn't end up with a single rooster out of 60 straight run chicks so I never got the chance to butcher one. Must have been the champion chick sexer on the production line that day. Employee of the week!

Lucky guy. Let's hope my straight run of Delaware has only hens.

Sorry I meant sexed. That would have been crazy!

Nah, I am just a hobby farmer, I would lose money if I tried to make money with chickens. Good luck

Thanks for your help.

The only way I have made enough money with Chickens was by composting their manure and growing landscaping plants in the composted manure then selling them.

Okay gang I would love your input. I want to turn my backyard chicken obsession into a chicken buisness. Since Molokai (little island in Hawaii) has no chicken buisness I though what the heck... A little back story... for the past 2 years i have raised a few heratage breeds for family use. (Road island reds, australorp, dorking, bresse, buff rock.) So I got the feel in keeping chickens healthy and safe.
In march I decided I would like to start raising meat birds to start selling here. I ordered 110 cornish cross, thank the lord all survived for now.. They're 2 weeks old.

The dilemma I am having....
Should I have just ordered a dual purpose breed to sell eggs and meat eg. New Hampshire, American Bresse?

Or...

Should I buy both broiler eg.cornishX and egg laying breed eg. Issa brown?

Well, maybe you want to connect with this member who is situated in Hawaii and posted this problem of too many chickens in Hawaii:

I will be doing that as well. We have a big farming community here. People asking for chicken manure all the time. We farm ourselves on about 300 acres of land. Our island has about 8k people living here. All food is imported. Eggs in our store cost 4-5$ a dozen. Bag of chicken meat $40.
