Unfortunately good feed is more expensive than the chicken.
Also testing for diseases. They could catch the bird flu and you might not know it right away and you end up catching it from them. I'll let the farms deal with testing.
Nice try, Purdue.
Yeah, keeping them alive and healthy is the expensive part.
don't they eat scraps?
Scraps and foraging are a great addition to their diet! But to keep them laying for many years they need a feed that supplements calcium. Making egg shells will leech calcium from their bones and they'll live short lives if they don't have enough in their feed. I like feeding a mash of soy, corn and other vitamins.
