Use $50 dollars to buy 10 chickens.
In 6 months you have 250 eggs...

Wonder if he'll post the razing of them...
This is all so trivial and glib.
Woke: Farming
Bespoke: Giving yourself bird flu
This advice could not be more stupid.
These are not serious people.
In direct violation of the Hutch Act
Republicans are serious about Authoritarian Feudalism. Get some Chickens, get a cow to milk, maybe some magic beans & of course, trade it all for crypto. Become a blacksmith. Gather wood. You get the idea. Serve the King!
I'm gonna look into leech farming.
Also, most people don't have enough space.
Oh, and then the cost of a coop, feed, bedding, and chicks.
And where will all the poop go?
Introduce flocks of chickens throughout urban and suburban neighborhoods.
Guess what's for breakfast, kids.
Eggs and avian influenza

*To work on the farm, not to a farm upstate.
What people don’t get when the decide to raise a flock is they level of care is way more involved and forgetting to do something could result in the death of the flock. It’s closer to a dog than a cat. not good for people with ADHD
Feel like she should know that
How many chickens could be running free range in the back yard at No 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
Then with the drop in population demand will go down and prices will drop!
A chicken is a farm animal,and is allowed only in the (AGR) zoning district +by special exception from the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board in Rural Estate (EST-2) zoning district. All other residential zoning districts do not allow farm animals,including chickens.
"In order for a backyard chicken coop with eight hens to save consumers money, eggs would need to cost $10 per dozen over the next three years,"
And that's before Trump's tariffs made the cost of building supplies more expensive. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/03/01/egg-prices-up-backyard-chickens-cost/80326628007/
