When I argue with my wife about my allowance (of my own money), I repeat this statement "All I want is weed and chicken feed".

I think I work hard/smart enough to deserve that.

Coming home to a yard full of crowing roosters is priceless. They don't talk back, and they are excited to see me every time I go out to them.
I would rather spend money on chicken feed and supplies than iced mocha mint,orange, or whatever kinda concoction high dollar fancy coffees any day.

Really?? Our good friend sells his stags for around $100. I'm sure his Trios go for way more, but he makes a decent dollar off his gamefowl. His operation is huge tho, breeding a whole variety of pure lines. I got my Radio, Grey, and Hatch BCs from him, as well as the hens, I say got because he simply gave them to me knowing I had the space and resources to raise these magnificent birds. Growing up with gamefowl, I jumped at the chance to raise my own, with my Pops ofcourse. Old man has a whole bunch of old school tips and tricks about raising AGF, as I find myself learning something new everyday.

I guess it all depends on the person. Surviving and thriving are different things. I spend a decent amount of money on feed, vitamins, some medicines (frontline, wormer, vetrx etc..). I'm not saying you can't do it but I am saying that if your not absolutely huge with hundreds and hundreds of birds, plus help you ain't making much just selling birds unless an awful lot of corners are being cut.

Gamefowl just dont sell in volume like meat/layer birds do... In the Philipines I think it is possible to make money, because there is an entire industry built around it.
