The ducks arrived on the 6th. A few did not make it, so we were reimbursed.
This order was for 26 chicks.
This order was for 26 chicks.
With shipping, these averaged $4+ per chick. Females cost more than males. The minimum order is 25 chicks for their warmth.
So far this year, I have spent $363 on birds. I will recover my investment when I sell off the extras, breeding trios, and future chicks from eggs.
My feed costs are less than most people's because I let my chickens out every morning and lead them to where I want them to eat. They help eradicate garden pests. They get healthy protein meals while tilling and fertilizing our soil. I lead them back into the pen in the afternoon.
Gotta keep the little stinkers out of the actual garden though!!!
