We buy cracked corn and whole corn.  The last cracked corn we bought was $7.50 per 50 lb.  We also go tomorrow for more feed and are expecting the price to be up.  I'll let you know how much ours costs.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Eggs in the local WalMart are between $1.40 and $1.90 per dozen.  Organic eggs are around $2.15.  Right now we use our eggs and give away the excess to family and friends.  It is primarily a hobby.  But with these 30 new chicks, assuming at least half of them survive, we'll be getting lots of eggs and I might start selling the eggs to defray some of the feed costs.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2680664903011977089/8731501286065056588/comments/default/290430135038720616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2680664903011977089/8731501286065056588/comments/default/290430135038720616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.urbanchickens.net/2008/04/cost-of-backyard-eggs-about-to-rise.html?showComment=1209430080000#c290430135038720616' title=''/><author><name>Granny Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.urbanchickens.net/2008/04/cost-of-backyard-eggs-about-to-rise.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-8731501286065056588' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2680664903011977089/posts/default/8731501286065056588' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
