Lets do some chicken math. A family of four, raising four chickens, at retail prices (out here)
Year 1 they will be out roughly $450 bucks for about 400 eggs. The value of 400 eggs is $148
Year 2 $450 1k $370
Year 3 $450 1k $370
Year 4 $650 1k $370 (flock replacement)
Repeats from 2.
$2000 out for $1258 in retail. You could buy 2k more eggs with the difference that you lost buying feed. Chickens are a scale, space, and verticality thing.
(even at scale it breaks even on the seventh year, conservatively)
