8. I'm looking at putting up a coop.
I have the land for it, and already grow a large amount of my own food in a quarter acre garden (at what point does a large garden become a small farm?)

Building a coop and raising my own chickens would be a snap, but I'm still trying to figure out some of the other costs. Like, how much does a chicken eat in a day and how many eggs do they lay? I need to factor in corn costs to try and figure out how much it would actually cost me to raise my own chickens.
