This video covers how much feed chickens need, how much feed from the feed store costs, how many eggs you will get per chicken, how much meat there is on a chicken, simple chicken nutrition, which feeds and grains to grow, how much space is needed to grow the chicken feed, and the cost to grow your own grain.

I even talk about why you can't treat your domestic chickens like wild chickens or even the barnyard fowl our great-grandparents used to raise.

All of this information and sources are available in the accompanying article I wrote-- https://thehomesteaderschronicle.com/...
