    Lol, you can buy a full chicken for $5 (10 for $49.99) and they lay between 4-7 eggs a week, you can make an ROI between 1-2 weeks and never have to buy eggs again.

    I would strongly recommend you buy chickens if you have the ability.

        Also testing for diseases. They could catch the bird flu and you might not know it right away and you end up catching it from them. I’ll let the farms deal with testing.

      We wanted chickens so badly this year but with H5N1 spreading and owning 3 cats (which seem to have a high death rate from H5N1) I’m still not sure if it’s a great idea. If anyone can convince me though I would still happily get chickens.

      I’m not sure why the US people are so bothered by them in particular that it made into the spotlight on presidential campaign… I mean, it’s probably not the most expensive item on any recipe.

      But yeah, they are currently expensive.
