[QUOTE="Castle Farm, post: 4372026, member: 14924"] I keep poultry and sell hatching eggs out by post. This time of year I sell pullets and breeding groups. It cost a lot to set it up..Runs/coops/equipment and quality stock. A decent trio of breeding birds will cost you around £60 (large Fowl) with pullets about £30 each and exhibition/fancier breeds a lot more. To produce 30 pullets you need to set around 90 eggs..Incubator costs about £500 for a decent model and running costs of incubator and heat lamp add about £10 a week after hatch to 6 -7 weeks old. Cockerels you can't give them away and you get about 50% in a hatch. It take years to build up a good reputation and only one miserable fecker to post bad feedback to ruin it. So much crap out there masquerading as quality stock you need to have knowledge of the breeds. No money in it, but done right you can cover your costs...after a number of years. [/QUOTE]
