How often do chickens lay eggs?

>>53140813
One egg a day is what I heard

>>53140817
This is true but some days they don't lay when getting older or sick or even just spooked a bit.

>>53140817
And how much corn do you have to feed them to get them to produce 1 egg? How much corn equals one egg? How much does that amount of corn cost, compared to how much one egg costs?

>>53140817
and if you kick a chicken, it's very unlikely you'll crack the egg inside of it too. chickens are based and delicious

>>53140817
Holy shit really?

>>53140834
It takes a out 3 cents of chicked scratch to get an egg which is worth 30 cents. They love eating any bugs including crickets and roaches.

>>53140834
3 chickens should be fine with a cup of corn/carrot/lettuce/rice per day + their feed.

>>53140874
>their feed
And everyone called me crazy when I bought shares in a seed & feed store

>>53140404
is egg farming or shrimp farming a more profitable business? have 200k saved so realistically can only choose. please no bully i'm unironically a retard irl.

>>53140457
So not only do you get cheap eggs but you piss off the landlord too? based

>freezing eggs

wait.
if you have like 1000 chickens. assuming EGGS are 1$ each
thats like 1000$ PER DAY
WTF
why am i not investing in chickens already?

>>53142929
something something 'all in one basket'

>>53142949
and if they dont lay enough?
sell em to Tom.

I buy a 50lb bag of chicken feed about once every 2 months or so, it costs about $17 and feeds my 12 chicken flock (smaller flock due to culling the fall to get ready for spring chicks). So per chicken per day it's pretty inexpensive, but then tell yourself how much you'd pay for a single egg and the feed will probably come out as more expensive once factoring in the days where they don't lay. The whole flock didn't lay for a month after brooding and mothering the new chicks. Not to mention half of those chicks become roosters that you inadvertently feed for a few months and then selectively cull when you find which meets your standard and could potentially replace the main rooster down the road.

>eggs are 3$ a dozen
>hens shit out 250 eggs in average a year
>62.5$
>hen doesnt shit out egg
>assuming chicken is 2-3 pounds thats 6-7$
>64$ per chicken PER YEAR
70$ x 1000 = 70000$
hmmmmmmmmmm I dont know about this guys. Maybe its not so profitable afterall.

>>53142949
>1$ each eggs
wtf

>>53143031
i corrected my math >>53143029

>>53140813
depends on the age of the hen and the time of year, they'll lay pretty much fuck all in winter.
