[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 968860, member: 16552"] :dunce: CP, I didn't think about him referring to layers, I figured he was talking meat birds. :oops: I run about 70 layers and make okay money at $3.00/dz I could raise my prices, and still sell everything I have (and may have to with the price of feed increasing every day). I only sell on-farm though, and it's mostly all regular customers. They know to call me ahead of time when they want to come over. We're to the point where we seldom have any left for us most of the time. :lol: Mine aren't exactly free range. I tried that for about an hour and lost a chicken to an owl (we think). I've got darn near every predator there is around here eying my girls, so they have a fenced yard surrounding the very spacious coop, where they can take quick cover from predators (or wind, rain, sun, clouds :lol2: ) They're such sissies about only going out in perfect weather. I would think you could easily compete with the commercial producers and still get a premium for your eggs with the new regs coming your way. [/QUOTE]
