  • Baby chicks cost $6 at a supply store, but I can get a rotisserie for $5? What is the real cost of having chickens?

  • Ohh so male chicks don't go into the food grinder as soon as they are sorted? I saw the popular video years ago, where they inspect the tips of a 3 day old chick and the males went to dog food...Thank you for your answer!

  • Yes, they are - bot how much does it take to grow them?According to comments they can be 10c for a chick, 18 chickens can be fed by $30, and theze are only 4 week - one month old chickens. That makes it about $3-4 to grow, then you kill, clean, ship and cook it and then put it in a fancy package that cost about c20 of not more...

  • Climate town did a great video about the green packaging - basically the meat industry. So yeah I'm not too keen on them, but a girl needs to eat.
