What would you say is your monthly costs of raising chicks?

$20 for first month excluding the price of the chicks themselves. 13 chicks went through 50 lbs of crumble fast. Now that they're outside they're going through the second bag much slower since they have plants to pick at and table scraps.

I spend less than $10 per month on commercial feed for my 10 chickens. But I also feed my chickens grass clippings, fodder, and kitchen scraps to supplement the commercial feed.

My main cost for raising chickens was the initial amount of money I spent on building the chicken coop and run. There are many ways to cut costs on raising chickens, or, many ways to pour more money into the project. Chances are you can raise chickens on just about any budget.
