Ygerna Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We are currently rejigging out household 'budget'. Times are tough. Given that the cost of chicken feed, and other essentials has increased, it was with a very sad heart that I mooted the option of getting rid of the girls. Hubby's reply? I don't think so, if you can get production up again then they are largely self financing so maybe get a few more later in the year as planned [unquote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, he won't know whether they are 'economical' or not, so I am not being too fussy regarding that.
