They must be laying golden eggs. Bul.shit talking.

I dont think you mentioned unless i missed it but half of your 103 hatched chicks will be male, does that affect your custom?

Thanks for the video but again, you said, "umm," 12 times in this 2 minute video. Just trying to give you a heads up, to cut out the "umms."

I think I'm going to just copy and paste the Transcript. That background noise is sooo distracting. Just an fyi, but thanks for the video.

Love those golden eggs, don't you?

terrible video. clickbait title

Sorry, missed the part about not being able to hatch a lot of eggs because I think you said you live in Canada. Is there a reason for that?

We have our first pickup today and i am so excited!

You are such a kind cool lady. Watching your love for the fluffy butts has inspired my lady and I to jump into the chicken club. We started with 25 road island reds and they are a couple weeks out to start laying. In early spring we are going to do meat birds 75 to 100 birds. Since I had a traumatic brain Injury almost 4 years ago these birds bring so much joy into our lives I believe this is my calling. Quick question what is the best way to market and sell, we have started you tube channels but I would feel better trying to find customers so all our eggs, chicks and meat birds have have a home To go to other wise we will need 8 to 10 full size freezers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love your channel.

I understand the work and the math, but who are you marketing such small quantities to on a weekly basis?

Okay, so the main business model is to sell chicks, sell fertilized eggs. But on the side, sell eggs. That presents a problem because you need to run a flock without rooster to sell unfertilized eggs. Selling chicks or fertilized eggs also involves separating out flocks (with roosters) to ensure the pure breeds. All this is a completely different operation to 23 hens and 2 rosters. For the breeding, you need at least one of each breed of rooster for the breed (and matching hens), whether that be fertilized eggs or chicks. For the side egg business, you need to run hens without roosters (most customers would balk at fertilized eggs for eating). I am sorry, but this lack of flock/breeding/un-fertilized eggs is not separated out enough, and not a proper business model. Certainly not just with 25 poultry. There is also incubator outlay for chicks, unless you have a great mama in the mix. This is a small scale commercial operation sold as backyard enterprise, and people are going to be disappointed with the results/reality. This is irresponsible. As presented, it is also not taking into account, the seasonal variation of production/hatching. If someone was to achieve this, then separate runs/breeding, and a heck of a lot of infrastructure and seasonal variation in the mix. Please be more realistic if you are selling a business model.

Love it

LOL ten bucks a chick.

Thats insane! Writing it down

So bit of a long comment. But i'd really appreciate a response. We were gonna start a chicken farm (with no knowledge) with my family and our relatives, but our relatives have way more money than us and decided to just buy their own land and completely cut us out. So i'm trying to figure it out all by myself because my dad is absolutely broken because of it. Can I contact you or anyone else reading this comment about some basic questions such as how to start, what to buy, what's the minimum investment a person could need in today's world. I don't mind compensating a person for their time hour or two hours whatever it may be.

Hold the phone ..another country?

Thank you for the information it helps. We are drowning in the cost of chickens - you know chicken math. So this helps me and my daughter understand where we want to go. I think we might invest in good quality stock now that we have worked out the bugs, but keep the barnyard mixes for egg sales. we have the room so why not.

The information you provided was helpful, but the background noise was distracting.

1 chick in Italy is 1€

What breeds you are selling baby for $10

What kind of incubators do you use? And what is a roundabout investment on that?

It took 6 minutes to get to the point

Video was made about 3 years ago (during the crazy virus days) but still very relevant today. I think there was a spike in costs for chicks at that time (just like TP being hard to find lol). Feed store pullets or straight runs are about $4-6 where I'm at (mid-USA) where sometimes chicks cost upwards of $8-10 depending on breed. (06/2024). Thanks for the vid content!

How are you selling chicks for $10 each? They go for $1.5-4 where I’m at.

I buy my chicks for $5 each. Ive never seen chicks for $10. that seems pretty high

I’m about to get a redwood incubator there isn’t many videos about them thanks for yours

To do this do u have to b certified ? Thanks great video very informative.

What did you do to grow it? About how long does it take to be able to give it to them?

In my area the prices are gonna be a little different just because most chicks sell for $5-7 each here

What is that background talking?

Cluck bait

I know this video is a year old but I'll ask anyways just in case you see it. Who do you sell these chickens to? How are you finding customers? We are hoping to get a house with a little bit of land soon and this sounds like a great way to help us pay it off so any advice would be great. Thanks. By the way, this is the first video I've seen. I'm going to start going through your others. Thank you

And that is not expensive birds these days that is fairly easily to do I like the idea of no public sales anymore the most expensive price. But but with fertile egg sales are nice and a bigger market on line and just using auctions for sells is great. a few GQF incubators for each breed and hatcher per breed this makes is really easy a simple rotation. Ornamental birds are where it’s at they’re worth the most amount of money. They lay the least amount of eggs, but are far in the most demand for some goofy reason but a smart person that’s just looking for eggs get the dual purpose bird, which is a high egg layer but a small bird usually will lay about double or an egg each day where a bird will lay an egg every two days but when you’re selling them, the birds can be as much as twice as much as a dual purpose. So if you’re looking at $20 a chick $10. It’s a huge difference and if you do the math, it’s actually the same price for both birds cause one lays twice as much as the other. But more than likely, your ornamental birds are going to be in more demand than your purpose birds so they’re gonna be easier to sell, but if you were growing them out as hens a different story a dual purpose full-grown chicken is for $20 a ornamental is gonna go for closer to $60 that’s a big difference but it cost about six dollars to get there and Feed.

It's a nice idea but these numbers are insane to maintain

Loved the video! Thanks for the ideas....how to you advertise to sell your chickens and fertilizer eggs?

I can’t imagine selling duck eggs is typically very profitable-if at all, not many people want them.

Where do you advertise?

I can't believe how many commenters don't understand pricing, and how much good purebred chicks are worth. Good on you.

So, which makes the most profit, selling eggs, goslings, or butchered geese?

It doesn't matter how many you can hatch if you can't sell them.. Where are you selling all these chickens? $10 for day old strait run?? Maybe pullets but not chicks

shut the TV off or the Radio next time

10dollar a chick? Must be golden eggs in america. Here, we barely get 2€ a chick

Are you taking the hatchlings and raising them separately from the 12? Very curious.

Where do live? I live in Alabama. How do you find buyers?

Is there a market for selling young hens at their point of laying? If so which breed would be most profitable? And would I only be able to sell them in the spring and summer? Where should I advertise? I'm interested in breeding and raising chicks but trying to do as much research as possible. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Some of the chicks you mentioned sell for like $4 each at the feed stores, so how do you sell them for $10 each? Are you selling them when they laying or as chicks?

*promosm*

yes..."math(s)" is not the poster's strongpoint...or maybe the English language itself, nor ability to communicate coherently. Repeatedly "35 hens" give "6 eggs per week"!!!! Repeatedly! Not "each "(which is really not attainable for traditional breeds)...more TH-cam incoherent rambling :-( Have given up watching this :-(

-Look at the camera The chicken with its eyes more on the side instead of the front of its head - I am bitch, why you making fun of me? 😤

Tbh I’m just saying you can sell even more lower your prices nowadays everyone has chickens and what not so make your prices kinda match up with hatcheries and you’ll do good and get more birds
