Meh. If you want to run chickens, run chickens. But the people that I know that run chickens have way more money in the chickens than they would buying eggs. And a few of them are trying to do it on the cheap.
If you need a hobby fine, fire away. They're pretty easy if you can keep predators out. If you think you can save money on eggs, save money somewhere else. Livestock ain't it.
*** I may be unduly sensitive about the thing because I have a person in my life that blathers on about how they don't have to buy eggs and they're feeding their family and all this shit. And frankly I get sick of hearing about it.
