Kewl beans, I'd like it to pay for itself and the next order of chicks and still be affordable for families to have fresh, free ranged meat. We went all over and priced chicken everywhere, from generic to top brand...top shelf prices were stupid ridiculously high and generic chicken looked half frozen globs of meat. Even the top shelf bird except one brand had up to 15% added "juice" Ick. We weighed them before opening packages and after and we were paying for water (or juice) I'd never use in a stock.
Next batches feed will be organic and a batch for spring we will go organic and free range will be soooo plentiful due to the season. It's good now bit the cold keeps the group on just these two acres. I want them throughout foraging all the nummys in the woods and in the gardens we made. Spring batch will be once a day feeders. So far we have to feed twice a day. When foraging gets better due to weather, our feed cost will be worth the organic prices of whole/cracked grains.
This time around the prices will barely cover feed and cost of chicks. Mostly due to my newb mistakes in the beginning. Killed 8 in the cold2 we aren't counting due to one with splayed leg - we will eat her and one crook neck that's a farm pullet now, she used her get outta butcher free card by surviving her siblings who are 4 times her size lol
How do local people like me buy a couple?? Are you taking orders?
