>>21645607Retard>>21645594Cute chooks
>cant even build a real chicken coopjesus christ how horrifying
>>21645594the fucking legend, how are those cake++ eggs coming up?
>>21645607
>>21645628No eggs for a few months. Which is why they're getting fed trash and grains for now
>>21645648do the cakes made from the eggs taste any different after cake-egg cycle?
>>21645669Let egg eat cake
No more than four chickens. Four for when one gets eaten by a fox. No one needs more than four working chickens unless you are a xbox hueg family.
>>21645623the country bumpkins on here love to tell off us city folk for eating pizza with a fork and knife and yet they live a acrid squalor. fascinating
Isn't the lactose gonna make the birds shit like crazy
>>21645726why do thirdies assume everyone in the world is lactose intolerant
>>21645726they're birds, so they gonna shit like crazy anyway
>>21645726Half their purpose on the farm is to produce manure. Diarrhea isn't an issue. >>21645718No including baking and ice cream, my household goes through a dozen eggs a day easy
>>21645793>>21645794Meds.
>>21645789>mfw been craving cake and finally buy one
>>21645726there isn't much lactose in an average storebought cake. the frosting is probably made with shortening and not real cream and the cake likely is made with some combination of water and milk and not straight milk.
>>21645623It's a chicken tractor. Use them to clear strips of vegetation for beds. They'll be living in a greenhouse in deep winter
>>21645878Cumduckin
>>21645594but cakes are made with eggs
>yfw your farmer daddy give you and the lads a cake
>>21645594im kinda perplexed here.Like this ist some super odd thing to do, but at the same time my guess would be that less than 200 chickens have ever eaten cake in history
>>21646087I've fed at least that many individuals chickens some cake over the years.
>>21645594How did this "Marble" & "Best Creme" cake end up being fed to your chickens? I mean was it a bakery discard or party leftover or what?
>>21646128just buy it for your chickens, stop being cheap.
>cake made with eggsis this cannibalism?
>>21645594Nice cocks anon
>>21646137Dude, I would certainly shell out the money plus extra for a custom message on the cake like "For my dear chickens, Love from me"Still, what's the answer to my question?
>>21645820the particularly successful chicken
>>21645718Or if you sell eggs.
>>21645594Waste of a cake
>>21645594Lol I remember you. What is their favourite cake?
>>21646727t. fox
>>21645719>the country bumpkins on here love to tell off us city folk for eating pizza with a fork and knifeWhat are you even rambling about?
>>21645820if only you knew how tasty things really are
>>21645594I must confess something, i have actually often thought of making more novel kinds of meats for the connoisseur market by feeding lifestock (chicken, pigs, cows, whatever) meals rich in a certain type of thing.Maybe chicken raised on high protein diet? Maybe pigs raised on urea rich foods (for umami), or cows raised on high amounts of fatty vitamin e or perhaps vitamin a?I'm really surprised foie gras isn't just seen as the starting point, the possibilities are endless! We could have so much more variety
>>21647524Your should look into more French methods of "finishing" animals. Like finishing a bresse with corn soaked in milk.
>>21646087>Like this ist some super odd thing to doYou can feed chickens pretty much anything, its fun to watch them tear up lo mein or a big bowl of old yogurt
>>21646087>that less than 200 chickens have ever eaten cake in historyI'm willing to wager it's in the tens of thousandsHint: farmer's families never worry about leftovers
>>21646291What an adorable dog, very cute. Does he enjoy being around the chickens?
>>21645594I do wonder how feeding chickens sweet desserts for their entire lifespan would affect meat/egg taste.
>>21645594would this be the equivalent of giving lobster and steak to marine troops?
what the bok
>>21647765bok bok?
>>21646151Do you consider eating your own semen cannibalism?
Pretty cool treat, i didnt know people actually buy a cake specifically to feed chickens.
>>21647658Yes! They love their chickens. We keep 3 of them with our flock to protect them. They do a pretty good job aside from their severe egg addiction. Working on that..
>>21646291how many chickens does it take to become profitable selling eggs? I live in the rural area near a large city and all my neighbors have chickens, a few give me free eggs for hunting privileges so I've never had a need for them myself, but how much does it cost to take care of them? Do they ever break even?
>>21647975You need to buy bulk feed, and use a commercial breed of chickens. Those red ones in my pic are called hyline red. Very good egg producers. Ill get around 50% profit wholesale at 120 per case(15 dozen) of unsorted eggs. That goes up a lot at the farmers market where we sell sorted eggs for 10,11,12 dollars per dozen.1 ton of feed is around 650 dollars and that lasts for about a weekish. 500 chickens in peak production get you around 2500 eggs per week. Call it 200 dozen. 150 dozen or 10 cases for 1200 dollars, and 50 dozen at farmers market for say 550 dollars, we sell at farmers market one day out of the week. 1750 grossed per week. We pay 400/month renting 10 acres, but no utilities. So feed + rent is like 700/week with profits of around 900-1000 depending. This is during peak production when it's not too cold outside. Egg production drops to around 60% during the winter, so it reduces the yearly profit, but we remain in the green year round as long the chickens don't get sick.
>>21647975500 chickens is not that many for commercial egg operations. We just recently finished building a coop that has capacity for 1000 birds, so hopefully next spring we get another 500 birds.Also forgot to mention that we bought our chickens as pullets for like 15 dollars each. That gets paid off relatively quickly. You keep a batch of birds for around 18 months before getting new ones, which is right around when they get their first molt and they basically stop laying eggs.
>>21645594They earned enough Good Broiler Points for a cake, how nice.
hehehehe chickens
>>21645594how do you deal with a bound hen?
>>21648116Cut a hole for the head to stoc out of in a tote and fill it with warm water and stick the hen the tote to soak.
>>21645648How do chickens clean their beaks? Do they have tongues? Do they just rub their faces against grass?
>>21645820>do what you must, I have already won
Thanks for checking in anon, it's good to hear from you again.Now I just need to see taco bell anon's pink burger on the Sesame Street plate and I'll be good. I think he might have died tho.
>>21649313>Now I just need to see taco bell anon's pink burger on the Sesame Street plate and I'll be good. I think he might have died tho.I miss that nigga like you wouldn't believe. Funny because I used to hate on him, but deep down I was just jealous that he was living the life I was too afraid to live. Hope he went on to bigger and better things and just forgot about us.
>>21648058I laughed.
>>21647524Retard, this is not a new idea at all.
