Growing chickens is like any other business. "Profit" "loss" and "Overhead" are all very real. If a few dogs get in with your chickens and kill half of them, not very profitable, because you have a loss. If you hatch your own eggs, perhaps, you have a poor hatch. You have the price of feed, housing, water, waste removal, marketing and medications to contend with. The profit margin for commercial types of chickens is low, maybe 25 cents a bird. Its not a easy business, and there are many, many things that can set you back and cause losses that are hard to recover from. No walk in the park, but if managed correctly, yes one can make a decent profit.
