Chickens aren't magic. A system is.
Most backyard flocks quietly cost more than they return — not because of the birds, but because nobody keeps the books. Here's where the money goes.
The coop cost more than a year of eggs
Overbuilt coops, wrong locations, and predator losses turn a cheap hobby into an expensive one before the first egg. The old farm way starts with a coop sized and placed to earn its keep.
Feed is eating your savings
Feed is the biggest running cost of a flock, and most of it is wasted — spilled, spoiled, or fed to birds that aren't producing. Feed efficiency is where the real dollars hide.
One sick bird becomes a vet bill — or a lost flock
Illness spreads fast in a small flock. Preventive care, early signs, and simple farm remedies keep costs and losses low, and keep you out of the vet's waiting room.
You've never actually done the math
Every dollar in, every dollar of value out — most keepers guess, and guess in their own favor. The book ends with the ledger that tells you, with certainty, whether your flock is working.
