You don’t have to buy any
Go to the animal shelters where the urban farmers have dropped them off to be rescued
Turns out raising your own food is hard work

I love the comment "please do not reach out to me if you haven't spoken to your wife first." 😄
Mine stopped laying once it got frigid cold...I'm lucky to get one egg/day, right now

put an incandescent lamp in there and leave it on til about 8pm or so. artificial daylight and heat will keep production up

Somehow Craigslist became a conversation about chickens … when I had my small flock I did a mix of heritage breeds and production breeds. The production birds really only stopped laying for 2-3 weeks on either side of the solstice in December. Like @nuclearlemon said, I used a heat lamp on a timer and that cut the production birds down to only 2-3 weeks TOTAL of no eggs per year. The heritage birds would have a longer dry spell. I’ll say the heritage birds were far more sociable and took to handling better, the production birds were little as*holes. That was kind of a factor at the time because my kids were little and liked chasing the birds around.
I’ve been thinking about getting back into chickens, but I’m pretty sure this dog I have would eat them. He’s got a strong prey drive … there are dead squirrels buried all over the back yard.

There's stuff going around online about chicken feed and chickens not producing. Switching to table scraps or other food and suddenly chickens produce. Might be worth trying new food.

Ill chime in as we have chickens and like others, we have had the same experience. I was told that giving them Cayenne pepper in the feed will help too.

i've heard that too. mine were freerange on my farm, so plenty to eat and they were my garbage disposals.
does the cayenne flavor the eggs? i know garlic will, so don't feed them scraps with garlic

Unless the floors are completely gone, I think that the price is right on. I would be surprised if it doesn't sell right away.

Does it make the eggs taste like garlic? If so that's a win in my book. Ever since living with a couple where the wife was like 2nd generation Italian I can do garlic on anything lol.
I was going to ask the same thing! if anyone has any garlic spiked eggs I'd love to try a couple.
And that '82 40 looks almost exactly like the one I bought a few years back. Wild how that beautiful olive green ages to that poopy brown color like that. @rckhound Steve I've got the paint formula if you get this one.

Floors have rust and rust has creeped into the tub on the inside also.
Wouldn't you have to get emissions too?
