New business for a 14 year old?

[Marks chickens]

How many birds do you currently have?
How large a coop/run do you currently have?
Are there laws pertaining to farm animals in your community?
What are your manure management plans?
How secure is your coop and run?

@$4 you should be good for a few extra dollars, especially if your feed costs are so low.

All the best!

I have a 10 by 12 run with a coop and a 15 by 10 run with coop and a 9 by 7 run with coop

Sounds like a good setup. Do you free range? Free ranged or pastured eggs always bongs more money.

Wow! $7 for a bag of feed?

I was wondering about that too. Wonder what kind it is and the weight.

I can't even remember when all I paid was $7.

At $7, for what I'm assuming is a 50lb bag by reading the original post, I'd be interested in knowing where you're getting your feed as well OP (maybe a local mill?). And what is the protein content? I'm currently paying $16 for 50lbs of feed that's 20% protein. I'd be looking to switch if the feed you use has somewhere around the same protein content and is that cheap!!! Maybe even if I had to buy it in bulk online and pay some shipping!

Feed here is $16 at TSC.

I'm also curious about the feed. That's almost unbelievably priced.
