[QUOTE="Calman, post: 625200, member: 3341"] Last may (2008) I bought 6 baby chicks.Black Austrolap. Fed them chick starter until they were big enough for regular food and started feeding layanna pellets. I also have one rooster. They eat about a 50lb bag every month. I just can't believe 7 chickens can eat that much food.I have an automatic feeder which hangs from the ceiling and is about 4in from the floor. The chicken house is built where nothing bigger than a rat can get in,and the door is shut every night. Also a pen 20x30 inclosed top and sides with chicken wire. Just got my first dozen eggs yesterday.(Took them 9mos to start laying) Just figuring from the top of my head that dozen eggs cost me about $120. Only thing I can come up with is,there must be a lot of fat rats around the barn and I need to fire the barn cats. What say you? Expensive eggs or not? Cal [/QUOTE]
