1. How much does it cost to get a chicken? A chick costs about $3 at a basic feed store. A pullet(about a year old) goes for about $20 or $15 and a cockerel(a year old) for about $10.
2. Does a chicken have to lay a certain amount of eggs before she sits on them or would she sit on just one? And why would a chicken even lay an unfertilized egg? They won't lay on just one. They usually find a good nest box and lay all their eggs there. If you don't gather them the eggs build up and she'll eventually sit on them. They don't always though. I'm not sure why a chicken lays an unfertilized egg, they just do. They don't really know, since they sit on fertilized and unfertilized.
3. How often do you have to feed the goats and chickens? We feed the goats a each a cup of grain every morning and night and a flat of hay each time. The chickens have big buckets so it takes them a while to run out of feed, but they do eat all day everyday. We give them scraps every morning.
