What do you guys think is the best way to make a in-come to help pay for feed?
I want to get more Sumatra hens, but my mum is saying that i need to work out how to make paying for feed cheaper.
We keep thinking about selling eggs, but the shop who was going to buy eggs of us has been rated on, for not having all tested eggs and all that stuff. So do you think it would be worth getting 6 laying hens for selling the odd box of eggs.(Also annoyingly the irish only like brown eggs, they think every green egg is a duck egg, and most people wont eat any egg that isn't brown.)
Some input would be good. Thanks

Do people need their lawns mowed? Maybe you could do that to make some money. Maybe you could offer to pull their weeds and keep their flower gardens weed free.

Thanks but no thanks. I'm not into gardening but good idea anyway thanks.
Also there's not much people around us.

man, I remember when I had to mow my parents yard and the old lady neighbor's yard as well for a whole summer ( out in the country to boot and I was a young teen) just to get my ears pierced, but I did it because I wanted my ears done

Well I would consider mowing lawns but there's only two houses around us and they are our neighbours. They have helped us out so much it would be rude to work for money.
So any other ideas?

Well another job I had was poop scooper (cleaning out stalls and chicken houses) It aint fun but if you really want something, its worth it. I also pulled night shade weeds, roots and all for a penny a plant. Night shade is a poisonous plant for live stock, and has thrones all over it, so a pain if you step on it.

So I went back to where everyone was talking about the Dun gene, etc., and I was wondering. What would you get if you bred a khaki to a blue? Just out of curiousity.
