yes. i have a flock and the feed alone puts a doz at $3.

the labor is somewhat enjoyable and the chickens are incredible child-leftover disposal machines. but when you factor infrastructure and labor youll probably never recoup your “investment” in eggs.

for anyone dealing with land predators, get electric poultry net. it’s magic.

Is that true even right now in the winter? My hens are basically pensioners at this point. I'm planning on refreshing the flock this spring.

im in md, and my hens have been laying all winter, no artificial light. they are a hybrid cross i bought from a local egg producing farm. i think they are called sex linked reds (not sure).

it’s crazy how many eggs they lay.
