I bought 6 chicks for $4.99 ea at the beginning of the pandemic. 3 years later we're averaging 3 to 5 eggs a day when they're not molting. Kids love the experience. The eggs are delicious. A 50 lb. bag of feed lasts a month and only costs $15. It lasts even longer during the warm months. So my cost is less than 50 cents a day. Great investment, they're all Plymouth Barred Rock hens from Tractor Supply

I dream of doing this but like along my whole street to get a good-sized chicken coop that we all have a neighborhood watch to keep coyotes out. Then you always have an excuse to drink with the boys
