John, If turning a profit is the concern you are probably not going to want to do it. Here's my set-up, 25 layers and a couple of roosters(only got them because I need to hear the crowing-neighbors have all said they really enjoy the crowing also.) Built a coop for under $100.00(8ft x 16ft) by using salvaged material. I do not have any fence to keep them contained but just let them free range-haven't lost any yet.

Feed cost anywhere from $10.00 to $12.00 for 50lbs and will last just over a week. The only set back we have had is the rooster do not like the kids all that well and will attack them. My 4-1/2 year old daughter will not collect eggs any more and my 7 year old boy will only if I'm there and he's carrying a big stick-time to grill a couple roosters on the smoker.
