Unless you raising chickens by the 1000's your wasting your time. You won't make enough selling 2 dozen eggs a day to buy feed. Your hens will produce 5 eggs a week. Even if you have 24 hens and 1 rooster you can produce 10 dozen eggs a week, at $1 a dozen you stand to make $10 a week. My guess is the 25 chickens will easily will eat more then $10 a week in feed. You can make more working for an hour at Walmart!
