Production for the month of June was 177 eggs which means they cost us 4.06 a dozen. We sold some for 3.50 a dozen. It definitely not a money maker, wait until you see the cost per dozen this winter. Feed has doubled in cost since we started raising chickens a year ago. BUT we didn't do it to make money, we did it because we wanted the superior eggs.
We have 10 chickens and one rooster. 6 Hens are a little over a year old and 4 hens are about 2 I would guess. We had two other hens but they died last winter (not sure why, maybe they were just old).
I am not counting Henrietta and her chicklets.
The chickens run free all day and are locked up at night to keep them safe.

Did you see my other blog, if you go up to profile and click to read more you can find it there.
I wish I could get people to reply here like you do rather than replying to the announcement. It would work better if the blog did not show up in the email cuz it doesnt look as nice
