I’ve looked into it, unless there’s a bird flu epidemic, you’re not going to be profitable. It’s literally more expensive for me to raise chickens than buy eggs from across the company.
That depends on the value you’re looking to get out of it.
As pets? Not too bad, and they’re a lot of fun.
As food? Feed costs money, you need to clean out the coop, depending on where you live you’ll need to protect them (e.g. coyotes, etc), etc. There’s a fair amount of work, such that I estimate it costs quite a bit more than commercially farmed chickens. They do taste better than store bought, but it’s hard to put a number on that.

Be a true American and send the other farms infected chicken blankets.
