@mtspringhomestead: How Much Does It Cost to Raise 50 Meat Chickens? One of the questions we get asked most is, "How much does it really cost to raise your own meat chickens?" We finally sat down and ran all the numbers from our first batch of 50 Cornish Cross, including chicks, feed, bedding, and supplies. Plus, I'll show you two simple ways you can dramatically lower your costs on future batches. #MeatChickens #Homesteading #FarmToTable #RaiseYourOwnFood #CornishCross
I think people missed the part where you said you do it for your health, not for the cost! my dad gardens, and it's a lot of labor, plus the price of plants, water, fertilizer, quality soil, nets to protect from pests, and a whole lot of waiting around. that said, he has consistently delicious veggies that are 100% pesticide free and truly organic. it's a labor of love, and can be expensive, but its rewarding to know that you have quality and delicious food

Can you not have your own rooster/hen to produce your own chickens? So you aren’t buy them everytime

I am just curious why you give so much feed instead of letting them free range and feeding them stuff from the garden

Sounds like it’s not worth the time, effort or money

Out of curiosity, could you get other feeds at a lower price point without missing out on any key or important nutrients/ingredients?

Labor etc. triple that cost. However you’re getting food fresh and not full of chemicals and junk you get from the store.

after you rebuild and start over, try growing fodder. it's cheap to make and good for all livestock.

Wow that’s too much per bird. I’m raising 50 birds for 5$ a bird including the cost of it. Almost 30$ a bird is diabolical

People do not watch the video before commenting. 🤦🏼♀️Scratch & Peck is Organic feed and will be more expensive than cheapo, low-quality feed from the farm store. As stated at the end of the video, buying in bulk can and will save money vs. buying in bags, as this breakdown reflects. We buy our Certified Organic feed from the mill a ton at a time, and it still comes out to $0.50/lb. Higher quality feed for higher quality meat is going to cost more, period.
