Martin ( moneysavingexpert.com) has his own show on the TV called " it pays to watch" tomorrow night  channel 5 @ 7.25 pm, He is doing a bit on keeping chickens  8) as a money saving idea, should be worth a look.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Thanks RichyRich7,
I heard a little bit of the interview he had with  Judi Spiers  on Radio Devon the other day, will look forward to watching that.  

No good can't get Channel 5 down here!

 :lol: That's really funny, Peter and I were just talking about that this afternoon :!:

I think we're better off not to have kept track of all the stuff we've bought, compared to the number of eggs :?

Why's that Rosemary?  Have your eggs started slowly?  Ours did too, initially, but now things are much better.

I've said on here before that our chooks are self-funding.  Each time we sell eggs, the money goes in a jamjar in the kitchen, and when we go to get grain, we take money from the jar.

They also provide us with eggs.

And having just caught up with the whole Chicken Out/Fowl Dinners intensive chicken farming thing, I don't think you can put a price on fresh, healthy, eggs from your back garden - without any chickens suffering in inhumane conditions.

Does the amount of money in the jar steadily increase?

Well we only have two hens so we never get THAT many eggs - enough for us and enough to give away to friends/family but not enough to sell.

I agree that you can't put a price on the eggs from your own hens - I see ours more as pets than something commercial.

As we don't sell our eggs the hens are constantly costing money (through their food/bedding etc) but that's the same with our cats and dog too.
