This is a common sentiment among backyard chicken tenders: No one gets into small scale chicken keeping to save money (at least not until we go full eat zee GMO bug burgers/we’re all wheelbarrow billionaires now) But I have found a way to offset your chicken costs with as little inconvenience as possible.
We used to order from Meyer. This last time we had a very bad experience with our chicks. I ordered instead from Murray McMurray, and these chicks were the fastest growing chicks I have ever raised (going on 12 years of chicken culture). We raise Speckled Sussex and always do straight run for the full “farm life” experience.
