Chickens are nasty. Had a relative use a garage as a 'coop' to corral her chickens against all better advice. The chicken shit stains would not come off the concrete.

Building a proper coop will be less expensive in the long run.

Chickens aren’t very smart, but once they figure out they can eat rats and snakes, they WILL eat rats and snakes

You can tell when they realize this around the time the rats and snakes no longer become a problem

I have chickens. There are some rats, but they are well managed by my and other neighbourhood cats. No snakes at all. Probably the fact that I'm living in city helps.

Lastburn@reddit

If you have a substantial backyard they make great pest control for your garden

[-]

ordeci@reddit

But they will also destroy all lawns and other plants until only dirt remains.

[-]

Lastburn@reddit

Not if its big enough , 800 sq is big enough that 3 chicken won't be able to destroy it by the time it regrows

[-]

Scary_Cup6322@reddit

Depends on the number of chickens. 2 or 3 are more than enough for an average person, and the damage they do should be manageable.

[-]

lucidposeidon@reddit

So more like life control than pest control?

[-]

ReturnRadio@reddit

I would agree with you except - it's not Anon's house.

This is actually legit af, I kinda want to do it ngl

Funny thing is,my grandmother used to own a plot of swamp where she raises shrimps, so I know someone who can teach me if push comes to shove

[-]

240psam@reddit

I'm not joking when I say this post ended up in me having like 5 dwarf shrimp tanks in my house

[-]

240psam@reddit

Google image "fancy caridina shrimp" and you will see loads of them in wild patterns. These are like the shiny Pokémon of shrimp basically.

[-]

It's like a little colony sim that the population grows or falls based on your strategy and maintenance schedule. If you get really good at it and get a few rare ones, you can breed a colony of SSS grade shrimp and sell them to other shrimp nerds.

jellyGATO@reddit

Damn I knew this is kinda similar to the Betta fish market I once learned about. I might actually look into this as a side hobby now.

[-]

outer_spec@reddit

It actually sounds more efficient than betta fish farming because betta fishes need a lot of water to move around, and you can’t really keep more one in the same tank (unless you want to play fish hunger games)

[-]

Gnotter@reddit

I really wonder how you would sell this. Can you just walk into a restaurant or shrimp manufacturer asking if they want to buy your swimming pools filled with shrimp?

Bruh that's an industrial operation not a shrimp bathtub meme

Gotta start with tbe bathtub and work your way up

Add a few spices and sausage and you have bathtub gumbo

Anon has capital for a house but not to buy eggs?

[-]

kpingvin@reddit

You can't turn a profit with chickens unless you have a lot of them. A friend of mine had chickens in his backyard and it turned out it cost him about £5 per egg. It was good egg though.

[-]

Munnin41@reddit

The fuck was he feeding them? Artisanal handpicked grains from the moon? When we had chickens we used about a bag of feed a month and that wasn't even €5 per chicken

[-]

kpingvin@reddit

Maybe it wasn't 5 but one egg definitely cost him more than a whole box at the store.

[-]

Jaruut@reddit

Does he know he doesn't have to pay the chickens?

[-]

kpingvin@reddit

They unionised.

[-]

naturalinfidel@reddit

Somewhere in Miami there is a chicken chilling with a healthy Roth Ira and amazing healthcare.

[-]

Munnin41@reddit

Well he was doing something wrong then. Because we had em before egg prices skyrocketed and were still paying less per egg than in the supermarket.

[-]

Killashard@reddit

That cost probably included all the startup stuff, like building the coop, potentially running water/electric to it, etc.

[-]

Ottoblock@reddit

Guy I work with says chicken feed has gone up a bunch, but maybe he doesn't shop around for it. Just like everything else at the moment, margins are thin. Also this is in the USA so I don't know what kinds of differences there would be

[-]

AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)

He spent all his money on a house. Kinda like why you see Range Rovers parked outside of Lidl.

[-]

Grundolph@reddit

My best friend is a lawyer making 300k having multiple flats he rents out and is grocery shopping at Aldi exclusively. But here in Germany that’s normal.

[-]

AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)

Could it be possible that a european makes more than 40k a year?

[-]

Apprehensive_Tiger13@reddit

Whoa hey, we don't have to gatekeep Lidl

you'd have more luck getting water from the atacama than finding a financially stable 4chan user

These chickens receive the same amount of sunlight as their owner.

[-]

chillanous@reddit

Damn, anon really is keeping those chickens from ever experiencing daylight or fresh air

[-]

CircleWithSprinkles@reddit

If it helps, I'm sure anon subjects himself to the same conditions.

[-]

SparklingLimeade@reddit

It's all fun and games until one of them finds a tiny mecha while digging and their buddy convinces them to leave their underground home.

[-]

AggravatingBet3005@reddit

You mean like factory farms?

[-]

Thin-Sand-2389@reddit

Tbf its a better life than most chickens get to experience

[-]

Milieu_0w0@reddit

It’s like chicken veal

[-]

StinkyMcShitzle@reddit

Please don't ever do this.

What I have found in the crawlspace someone who let the chickens under the house.

Chickenshit everywhere- literally everywhere, there was not a single square inch of the ground not covered in chicken shit.

Rotten eggs, which had brought in snakes and rats who ate them.

And several dead cats. Apparently, between the smell emanated by the shit and rotten eggs, nobody ever noticed the fetid smell of rotting corpse; it may have made it even more pleasant for a time. Surely, the cats were bitten by one of the snakes who had come under the house to eat the snakes or rats who were there to eat the eggs.

Just don't do it. They will tear the house down rather than repair it one day because of this.
