We had 100+ birds at one time, but quickly found that unless you're willing to make the jump to 10K+ birds, farming chicken/turkeys/ducks is not worth it.

We have 3 birds now for our own eggs. We use a chicken tractor and move it every couple of days.
Automatic feeding and watering, with 3 chickens the feeder lasts about a month.

2- 16'x 2x6 PT, 1-8'x 2x6 PT, 3-10'X 1/2" conduit, 1- 4x 8x 3/4" exterior ply, roll of chicken wire, garbage can and the rest was scraps I had laying around.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
