I have a small flock myself, but just for our own consumption. (I have a weird desire to get into some sort of chicken farming but have a ton of questions?) My neighbors are chicken farmers, but Amish. I assume your not Amish as your on the internet. A few questions. Do you have laying birds or meat birds? Do you pen raise or large barns they roam? How many square feet per bird? Do you buy the chicks or hatch? If laying, do you cycle out after x years (3?)? If meat, how much feed does one eat in its life $ wise? Do you buy feed or make your own?

What's it worth right now?

How do the bees know the honey has been removed if the cap is still on? Do the actually take the cap off and refill?
