Yep, if you are using a light, only have it come on in the morning. Let your chickens go to bed with the natural light. When I had chickens, I would spend about $15 every 2 weeks for feed from our local Co-op for 6 chickens. Pro-tip... save any table scraps and use your chickens as garbage disposals. They will eat just about anything. And for a special treat, every once in a while buy a watermelon or cantaloupe. Quarter it and let them go to town.
It won't be cheaper than Kroger (depending on cost of eggs), but much better quality eggs. Brighter yokes, better flavor, and you know where they came from. If you happen to have extras, you can easily sell them for $4/doz. We moved to a condo a couple years ago and cant have chickens here, but if I could, I would definitely do it again even if it were slightly more expensive than store bought.
and I wonder which would come out ahead in a debate w AOC or Biden.
Where are you? I will help you find fresh real
While I agree with the lighting....we do ours in the evening 5:15 -9:30....girls still pumping them out
Appreciate the offer but I already have the hookup on fresh eggs. Just cant have my own.
