    The difference in economy between poor South Carolina, US and Sweden is crazy. I'm starting up a broiler production and skipping eggs all together because in the states we have to wash them, and they don't really bring much money. A farmer friend of mine got out of selling eggs because grocery stores were wanting to pay her only $1 per dozen, even though they marked them up to $5-6 per dozen. And so many people around here have backyard chickens that you don't even have to go to a farmer's market, there are signs in people's yards everywhere selling a dozen for $2.50. Having to go through inspections, washing, and delivering for only ~15 cents per egg sounds like a royal waste of time. You're lucky Richard!

    I find it incredible that folks do not comprehend the worth of laying hens for meat productions. I have ate so many Fantastic meals from laying hens in Chicken Noodle Soup, Baked Chicken Meals. Young birds are great in certain dishes but are lacking in others. My Grandparents God Rest their soul had a Large Egg production facility in the 20s that supplied local hatchery. When the hen was old she went to the pot or a canning jar.

    I just started with my first group of hens. I started with 50 in a chicken tractor. Then decide that was not enough so I will be adding another group next week. I will be running 80 hens in 2 chicken tractors. I made a serious mistake with the first tractor and dogs got into it overnight and killed 32 of my hens. Luckily we can get laying age hens every month here (or at least the last couple months they have had them). To be totally honest I have no idea how I’m going to sell the eggs. I built the system with the “build it and they will come” mentality. These will be the first things I’m trying to sell from my land. I’ve always considered it a homestead and not a farm but I’m at a point where it would be very helpful to make a few dollars. My calculations tell me that if I can keep these chickens alive and sell the eggs they produce it will pay my labor costs for all the things I’m doing on the property. That would be a game changer for me. My place has only cost me money and it’s cost me a lot of it too. Once I get a customer base for those eggs I’ll get more hens and build more tractors.

    Maybe you could get an egg stamp with the name of your farm on it as well as the certification number. That would help with brand recognition with customers for future growth of your various product lines.

    Watching Richard’s excellent video’s sometimes reminds me of those families in the homeschooling environment who seem to be rather focussed on showing they’re doing a better job than schools are. Sometimes such families are referred to as hothousers [i.e. they hothouse their children]. Often they also make a living within the homeschooling marketplace.
    There’s other families who take a more relaxed, quieter route of learning-evolution, personal growth and natural discovery.
    While the first group usely does a lot of planning and documenting of their path and indeed often provide an education that’s preferable to going to school, its the second group where truly regenerative and amazingly abundant learning takes place, I find. It's where the old learning paradigms are clearly disappearing. A pre-requisite for the latter is an ever-unfolding, major shift in the mindset and attitude of the parents/adults involved.

      If I have read you correctly isn’t that simply the difference between homesteading vs small farming? After all a small farm must interact in the market place which means playing by the capalist rules and cultures. A homestead doesn’t need to do so and therefore can implement its own culture and cycles and keep quiet about it as you implied. Richard is playing the game well. He didn’t define the rules and so should not be criticised for something which is almost completely out of his control. The implication is that Richard is not spiritual and I’m offended for him because my family is forced to make the same choice.

    You cull the hens after one year because they lay a bit less. That's permaculture?

    So productivity above animal well being? I mean a bird can get to 8 years old... thats a first point of disagreement i find in a lot of videos. I just dont think(i hope) you really need to slaughter a chicken at an eight of their lifespan. Imagine humans being bred and killed at ten y old... i would like to discuss this with you

    Richard, do you have a crypto currency wallet for quick easy payment worldwide and have you thought about working with supply chain cryptos like Waltonchain, IOTA etc. in the Future? It's really brilliant tech and I'd love to see it used by small farmesr to gain an edge.
