Welcome .... I assume your name is Connie based on your email addy
:-) As fear as making a profit with chickens ... can be done but will
take a lot of work and quite a few chickens. Plus you have to deal with
regulations and rules if you sell to the public.... not really something
for the beginner or novice. Now if you want to provide for family you
may get to a break even stage. Again depends on how many you raise and
what the family consumption rate is for eggs and chicken.
