GAINESVILLE, Ga. – With the continual rise of backyard flocks, is it more cost effective to have your own birds or not?
Starting a flock holds many considerations, including what kinds of chickens you want to have and whether they are broilers or layers. Within the category of layers, you can pick between white, brown, or colored ‘eggers’.
Hatcheries offer varying prices even on the same breed of chicken; prices can range from $1.90 to $12.38, so doing your research can be a cost-effective measure.
