I started an egg business about two months ago and I’ve been sold out almost everyday. Right now I’m not making much personally but my birds are paying for all their own feed and maintenance items.

You should be wearing sunscreen all the time. I cannot urge you enough. Solar radiation is no joke. Cover up with sunscreen, straw hat, or a sun screen shirt. I have one for fishing and they are amazing, like wearing nothing and they are long sleeved

Background music is way too loud. Hard to focus on what you’re saying

Hi Josh, I would like to start a chicken ( plus other birds eventually) egg laying business. Can you let me know your book details. Plus if you are ok with an email or contact, I would like to communicate electronically. I am in Canada.

Love your chicken tractors, I’ve built 6 now. Bought your plans/book a couple of years ago, they are the best tractors out there. Very versatile. We use them for grow outs, ducks, meat birds, breeding pens and quarantine (and of course a fort for the kids during offseason)!

Nice info, Sir. I’m contemplating on bringing some family members from the Philippines who are used to the “rural” lifestyle. I would employ them as “farm hands”. They just never experienced the winters here in Virginia. (CULTURE SHOCK)!!!

I'd like to see how you get nesting boxes in there. Especially roll- away type boxes (ya know, for poop-free eggs). Thanks!!!
