Questions for the chicken owners - how many eggs do they lay each per week?
Do you sell the excess?
Does the cost for them and their upkeep exceed the egg profit?
I have 15 chickens in the northeast. They produce roughly 1 egg per chicken per day. The colder months slow production down slightly.(you can use a light in the coop to increase egg laying)
It costs me about 10 cents to produce 1 egg. I sell any excess to neighbors for $3/dozen.
The eggs that they lay taste incredible and depending on the breed will produce huge eggs.
For me, it's been well worth it.
