How much do you think that the price of a dozen eggs is going to climb to? How many eggs do you eat in a week? I'm not a rocket surgeon or mathematician but if you figure the cost of the chickens and the cost of chicken feed and a $1700 shipping container and the cost of shipping the shipping container then you could pay $25 a dozen for the next 10 years before you see a nickel in money saved and if you say that they taste so much better than store bought then you aren't putting enough Frank's hot sauce on them.

The point was never about wether or not my keeping chickens would produce a profit for me or save me any money. I'm fully aware that I'm spending money on the chickens. They all have names and I've already spent over 2k on them. I was just saying that I don't want to spend more than I have to on an upgrade that I want to do for their health and comfort and well being. The fact that they taste dramatically better is icing on the cake the eggs already are. Legit my fish don't offer me anything I can cash out on yet I spend thousands on them too just because we love them
