Before moving to Ak, 20 years back; we raised 700 every year.Had a place to have them butchered at, $1.50/bird. All my neighbors & relatives had home grown chicken.

Here along the Yukon, too expensive to fly feed in, so we don't do it anymore. I'd like to get 35 egg layers once again though. So many half starved predators around here. I actually had wolves in my garbage barrels last winter, a first. Had them kill/eat dogs, had them follow me on trail, but never 3 nights a day apart in my garbage. Those buggers would break into a coop or bear would do it for them.

Let’s see, what is the equation?

1 bear = 157 chickens
