Re: [CHICKENS-101] New to board--intro and question

 

If you know people who will buy eggs from you, you might make  'bread and milk' money by raising a home flock.  If you want it to be an operation that will pay the mortgage, then I'd advise raising chickens FOR one of the large companies like Tyson & Purdue. People all around me raise chickens for Purdue.  They finance the large buildings needed, bring you the chicks and the feed.  Then they come take the completed chickens and you have X weeks to clean out the barns, disinfect and be ready for the next batch.  The barns are cooled by fans, and the lights are on timers.  Georgia in Lower Alabama.

Our 16 acres sits in Hubbard, TX, about 36 miles from Corsicana, Mexia, and Hillsboro, hot, dry country!  Like well into 100's stretches at a time in the summer.  I hope to make a decent living to supplement my Hubby's income on the farm. Some people say you can make a profit on chickens; some say you can't.  Which is it? If you are making a nice profit, would you mind sharing how?  Broilers or eggs?  What breeds?  Pastured or not?  Etc. Thanks.
