This is for the well-to-do guy who can afford to do all this shit like a hobby. By and large, raising all types of animals at the hobbyist level is a tremendous money sink compared to buying stuff yourself. Chickens can be cheap if you have land for them to feed off of, and plenty of scraps….but chicken feed is still pretty pricy too.
Seems to be true w/ all crops, gardens, etc. You’d better be able to afford the extra mouths or a SAHM in order to mind all this stuff while you’re out earning the bills. Otherwise you’re ONE big breakdown away from despair

Like, I know a bunch of people with REAL operations, not a single one of them has time to record themselves touring their well built, cutesy pinterest-ready chicken coop.
It’s all so fake and gay, every time I see one of these “buying a farm” it’s some urbanite w/ a remote IT job making $200k/year revamping his life and bragging about this insane lifestyle he invented, while murmuring judgemental, catty bullshit about the neighbors down the lane not having nice stuff like he does (bc they’ve been farming for 50 years and not sending emails for ZOGinc)

The video's point is true not just for chicken. Once one grows some tomatoes in a box, the superior taste compared to store-bought is unmistakable. That's how we started. Then when you have a garden you add fruit trees. And vegetables. And start seriously thinking about animals. You already have a dog or two, how much more trouble can a goat be?

take a look at japanese eggs. yolk color is much more orange becuz the birds are fed better. albumin sack around yolk is taut and the yolk sits nicely on it.
store bought eggs are usually over 7 days old by the time of purchase and the you yolk will spread out, instead of remmaing ball shaped. -

If they aren’t talking about costs, they’re fake faggots and I don’t like them. Everyone - EVERYONE - I know is being crushed by costs, having clean, manicured people and obvious upper classers talking about how they just went out and splurged on the 20th $500 project around the farm this year is so chafing to listen to.
Guys are selling off calves because they can’t afford feed. They’re cutting feed back to 40% what they used to give in an effort to control costs. But somehow I never hear these stories from the “homesteading” crowd. It’s always some new fancy boy vitamin water dispenser for their hens because their feathers weren’t glossy enough.
It’s not enough to let salt of the earth folk have their honor, they have to skin it off them and wear that too.

The fake and gay aspect of farming streamers and influencers is another aspect, and I totally agree. Like idk if this guy is legit or not, but your points about the nice looking stuff are spot on. I built my first coup out of scrap wood, and it worked fine. As did the guy who I got my chickens from. Eventually people upgrade or build a chicken tractor or whatever based on space and needs.

people need to understand:
NOBODY WILL BUY YOUR EGGS
NOBODY WILL BUY YOUR CHICKENS
(at a price you’ll make money on. You can get a bottom dollar reserve price at feed stores often, but you had better know how much feed/rx you wasted on that bird before hi fiving each other over eight bucks)
YOU WILL SPEND FAR MORE ENERGY MARKETING AND HAGGLING THAN IT IS WORTH
Everyone wants free eggs, nobody wants to buy. Our farmer’s market never returned after 2020, the only people in the small holding economy are brownoids - funny enough, mexicans buying in bulk are the best customers we have around here. All other customers are insane, fringe weirdos who WILL stalk your place for things to steal, and keep coming back to fleece you when they see you’re a nice, gullible white.
But people REALLY have a rosy understanding of this whole thing. It’s been flooded with new people, and “well you can just sell them!” never works out how you want. Last time I checked

If you have children and even a quarter acre, you can have chickens for cheaper than the price of a cat, almost free. People will buy your eggs unless the market is saturated. If it is, you don't need as many chicks so your feed lasts longer. They can and will eat just about anything, including random leftovers and half eaten stuff from your kids. Vegetable scraps? Sweet. Leftover ground beef? Gone. The bottom of the cereal bowl or oatmeal pan? All good. Stale bread? Yup. It's cheap too. Dude looks like he has a nice house on that property, but I've known a lot of lower to middle class people with chickens. -

@siinclaiir @WashedOutGundamPilot goats are pretty easy and low maintenance if you have enough land. I mostly just want goats so I don't have to cut grass. Goat milk is also a possibility. But mostly just because goats are nature's lawnmower.

Everyone who has animals as a hobby will tell you “oh I don’t wanna think about how much I have in ‘em”
As long as you get that, you’re fine. It’s just a hobby. But right wing anons have this very silly idea we can all just move to the outskirts of town and survive on $300 a month and growing everything on 5 acres of shit land…..without realizing all the instagram/tiktok/youtube faggots “doing it” are working as remote sysadmins for Oracle in their downtime.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @siinclaiir @sjw @BowsacNoodle I do know someone in my family who is raising his own chickens. But he does it more as something he likes to do, as he most certainly does not make money on his eggs when he is giving many of them away. If you go into such a plan with the idea of making money, you are not going to do that unless you have a massive scale of operation. Which in that case, you have become a full time chicken farmer.

How many chickens? If you keep a dozen then they’re simple and easy (provided you can feed them cheaply, I got a hookup on feed and even still it’s about $100 a week for what we have, even w/ hay and free ranging)
Once you scale up past 25/50/100/200/300 things get very problematic. Everyone faceplants because they get their first bunch and let them hatch, then start getting ideas about actually being able to make something out of it as an enterprise. One line of ours started with 1 breeding pair. A couple years later and that turned into at least 70, probably 100+ chicks. You realize selling them is more pain than it’s worth, dealing with brownoids, hagglers, and poors. Maybe guys in rich areas can do it. But most of the places west of the miss will already be saturated w/ egg sellers & chicken haulers.
And it all starts when your woman sees well-dressed upper middle class suburbanite-turned-2021-homesteaders i showing off a tidy pen of 50 ‘meat birds’ acting like they’re able to afford $500 Ulta makeup bills every month by selling birds to the feed store for five dollars a head. As the dad you gotta be a little heartless and put your foot down on flock size before it all spirals out of control

Dude chickens are like one step up from goldfish in simplicity and cost. A dog is more expensive than chickens if you factor in the eggs that you personally eat (two dozen a week in my house). You're spot on about the right romanticizing agrarian pseudomodern primitivism, but we do that for everything because we actually appreciate the non materialistic aspects of life. I'm telling you, if you're in a temperate zone they'll eat bugs and scraps and barely need feed. Plus they're fun and teach responsibility and all the other 4H style things. -

Reminds me of the OTHER irritation of “hey you guys want eggs?”
Nobody EVER gives you the carton back to refill, no matter how many times you tell them to swap it out with you. It seems like it’s not a big deal but you feel like a rube when you’re buying this for the 5th time this year all so people can just keep throwing them away because they’re too lazy to care about the free, valuable thing you’re nice enough to provide to them

Which is why I hate all this tiktok farm nonsense, it’s filling their heads with this unrealistic nonsense about having it all and making it work. All these people making big videos about their fancy, well-furnished coop are backstopped with their hubby’s money, and it’s telling gullible, well-intentioned normies that you can TOTALLY be a trad farmer by going into tiny semi-hobby sized agriculture.
Maybe it’s just a pilot thing, since they got money and idle wives, but I’m seeing a LOT of guys leaving the cities to go move into the sticks, raise chickens for a year and buy a share of an alfalfa plot and pretend they got the farmer life all figured out.
Some of you guys here will see in time. Your daughters will doe-eye you with promises of “daddy people pay good money for them” and you shrug thinking it’d be good to be self-sufficient….and then you’re trapped

Well there's your problem. Rooster dies first. Cock-a-doodle-don't even think of doing that outside my house. A family raising chickens can usually do fine with 1 bird per person ± extras for baking or how much you like eggs. But how the heck are you paying that much for food!? I barely fed mine besides table scraps. Maybe it's because I have kids so food is "wasted" more, but they don't need much feed. They'd pick the compost pile clean and eat the bugs that crawled on the food I tossed in there. -

Vets are a luxury few small-time farmers can afford.
As an aside, not that I watch it, but when one of those vet shows somehow end up on a tv I am struck by how gynocentric the whole thing is. Even when there's a male vet (he's really the only one who has a vaguely normal sense about what he's doing) there's a serious lack of professional distance when it comes to dealing with the animals and a big emotional attachment that the femoids have with them.
