Wild birds will bring bird flu to your backyard flock too.

It takes a lot of eggs to pay for even a $200 coop + bedding and buying the actual birds.

I don't regret it 4 years in, but don't do it for the economics.

Unless you see it as hobby and have fun doing it, you also would have to factor in your work effort.

Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer?
