If you came here looking for information about how to make money from your chickens then you're in the right place. While chickens do get a bad rap for being expensive they don't have to be a money pit. In fact, they can start paying your bills with their eggs, feathers and more!

If you have a flock of chickens, you are well aware of how expensive they can be. Have you ever considered making them pay their own way? Many years back I decided I needed a "no freeloaders" policy and since then, not only have the chickens paid their way, they've paid quite a few other bills as well!

In June of 2017 I wrote a post on my blog Murano Chicken Farm about making money selling chicks. My article: How I make $1,000 a month with just 15 chickens was a huge hit. That blog post had more views in the first weekend then my blog normally gets in a whole month! (make sure you read that post, it has tons of money making info!)

I received so many messages from people wanting more information, asking questions and wanting more details that I decided right then that I needed to write down everything I do to make money with chickens. So I did.

I wrote the book Making Money With Chickens so I could give you every detail on hatching, every way I find customers, every way I make money. I wrote it all out and put it all in a book which is now available on Amazon! I started this site to talk more about the book and be more accessible for my readers to ask questions and chat with. So, "Hello! I'm so glad that you're here!"

I make the most money from my chickens by selling chicks, so this book’s main focus is on the business of breeding chickens to sell their chicks.
