Dear all Hivers, I would like to share how I try to play the life game. I invested my small money in chickens. I bought a few chickens and tried to breed them. It is a real game when my chicken starts to lay eggs. I could harvest the eggs everyday.
I bought three docs a few months ago. Two of them were dead because they were eaten by a rat. One of the docs now is 3,5 months old. It is starting to lay eggs. I take an egg everyday.
A few weeks ago, I bought two more docs. They are two weeks old. Chickens will lay eggs at the age of 16 weeks. I plan to buy more docs in the coming months.
To feed a chicken after it has laid eggs, you need around $0.5 for 5 days. The price of an egg is around $0.2. For five days, you will get 5 eggs. It means you will get $0.2 X 5 = $1. You will get $0.1 in daily revenue. In the first experiment, I plan to breed 10 chickens.
With 10 chickens, the income estimation is around $1 daily. It is not a lot of money, but I can learn a lot of things about how to play the life game of breeding chickens.
I am sorry, I did not calculate my spending to raise a chicken for around 16 weeks, but with the chicken's productivity, I will easily reach break-even. To feed the chicken, I can combine chicken food from factories with chicken food from household waste. I ask my neighbours to give their household waste to me. This way, I can minimize my food spending so that I can increase my daily revenue.
Breeding chickens should not be done in large quantities, but I can start with a small number of chickens. If you have a small space in your house, you can try to buy docs online. The price is quite cheap. You can start to play the life game of breeding chickens. Besides that, my children learn how to breed chickens. They become accustomed to chickens when I clean the cage. They also try to feed the chickens. You can learn about breeding chickens on YouTube or the internet. It is simpler than I thought.
Are you challenging yourself to breed chickens? You can try to start collecting eggs daily. It is a fun and real life game.
