If you are commercially raising chickens I expect Roosters just eat and spread disease so cost but don't make you any money.

But we do get baby chicks so we can increase production. The old biddies have come to me and as they drive around will also be selling our eggs for a commission.

Of course. If your intent is to "raise chickens" you need a rooster.

But if your intent is to produce eggs (either for consumption, or sale), no rooster is needed...

As long as prices are high we will want to increase our flock (or whatever a bunch of chickens are called) so we will start with one rooster and grow our herd. Eventually each of our roosters will be able to have their own harem.

Paradise in roosterland. Or paradise in the village of Stu down the road, but that is still closed for renovations.

Bird flu + inflation has driven up the price of eggs way more than even the price of gasoline in comparison. What I paid ninety cents for a couple years ago is now $4.49. Everyone looks to see if their eggs are broken before they buy them I am just looking for a golden egg in there to justify the price

May 3rd at Costco in Lutz, FL the price of eggs was $3.69 for TWO dozen, grade AA large. ($1.85/dozen).

In order to celebrate the opening of our egg business we will give a free egg to the first 28 people to show up and ask for them using the special code. Oops now 27.
