I do not understand the mathematics behind the dilemma. I’m assuming only the firts chicks cost money, because down the line they will breed.
But feeding them, housing them - vitamins and doctoring costs a lot of money.
So anyone with couple or more chickens - how much does it cost to have them on the table? And realistically how many eggs do you get?
I was excited for the rotisserie function of my new oven until I got to the supermarket and discovered that an uncooked whole chicken costs more than a store-rotisseried whole chicken.
My understanding is that Costco uses their rotisserie chickens as a loss leader. They make it as cheap as they feasibly can, and then they recycle the meat from the unsold ones into as many different prepared products as possible. Probably other stores are just matching their pricing structure.
The rotisserie near my house buy their chickens for about 2 euros or less per chicken, but they’re buying 200 chickens at a time, and probably directly from the nearest slaughterhouse.
Usually store bought raw chicken is way bigger
The rotisserie shrinks it.
Not surprising :(
Think positive! You can do ducks and turkeys too! Ducks and geese are really tasty!
But you can season the raw one however you want.
