Wild birds will bring bird flu to your backyard flock too.
It takes a lot of eggs to pay for even a $200 coop + bedding and buying the actual birds.
I don't regret it 4 years in, but don't do it for the economics.
Unless you see it as hobby and have fun doing it, you also would have to factor in your work effort.
