I guy just responded to our classified ad for our chickens. We have them listed for $10 each for the 4 month old ones and we have around 60 of them. He asked if he bought all 60 could we take $3 each?
No wonder DH gets huffy/puffy.
60 birds eat $25+ a week (min). /16 weeks X $25= $400.
60 birds X $3 = $90
Resulting in the loss of $310.
Not including time and effort, health care, heat lamps.
Just like Hub says.. we have 6 freezers and 4 BBQ grills.
The proceeds from those sales help with the other age birds as well. There are 30 under lamps right now and about 50 in the barn too. $ breeding houses that need feed for around 30 birds. My big egg house has 70+ birds eating up feed.
$3 dollars a bird is an insult. AND to say "you have my number if you change your mind", just sweetens the deal..
