Since we’re not likely to be competitors, do you mind me asking what you get for a pullet? It’s PB or cross?I think the most chickens I've had at one time was around 80. But that's because my lovely broody hens like making me surprise babies.
ETA right now I have 26 females, 4 males and 19 unsexed chicks.
I'm constantly in flux though. Just sold 7 pullets today.
they're American Game x Orpington so I'm having a hard time with it tbh. I LOVE them but they're not egg powerhouses. $20 each. $15 before they started laying. but I've only sold like 10 maybe so I'm no business model lol.
Hey that's at least $150 you didn't have before! That would feed my 6 chickens for the whole year!
In that photo above,( in post # 116,) on the right is one of my Spitzhauben pullets. The 3 pullets on the left are half Spitzhauben, half Sebright. It was an experiment, I call them Sprights.
Did you mean to post this in another thread?
Some do lay an egg a day. (At least for a while.) BUT chickens are born with all the eggs they will ever have. So the more eggs they lay in a year, they less years they will likely lay.
Is that crappy ground with nothing on it, including no power? That cheap for that many acres is a red flag to me, pretty much no matter the location!
You can find decent bare land here for $1000 an acre if you're buying 40 or more. Smaller lots go for more per acre on average. You might even end up with a couple small fields or a pond. The trade off is northern MN winters.
