I wanted to raise some for TG also, but when I told people the cost, they were all like, we can get them cheaper from Meijer. I was like... the ones at Meijer for the cheap price are not nearly like the ones I would raise. The cost would be just for the feed cost and processing cost. But nope. I told them too look at the price for the fresh toms/hens, not the frozen butter balls etc, and your will see a big price difference. BIIIIIIIIIIG difference. a $30 one most the time.
