Shit. I’m gonna grow food to sell. Who wants chicken, chicken eggs, goat meat?
Subsistence farming is a lousy return on investment. The below blog details the cost of raising a 4.7 pound meat chicken at $13.70. I just paid $1.99 a pound at Kroger for boneless, skinless chicken, so 4.7*1.99 = $9.53. I don't know about you, but I have no desire to be a farmer and certainly am not going to pay more for the privilege of adding additional daily chores and work.

That said, egg prices are truly insane, but you know what, I use at most 3-4 eggs a week, so again I'm not sure it's worth it.
Economies of scale are real. But you can get a dozen eggs per day with a decent flock during the summer. You can basically live on eggs.
