The article mentions that they make most of their money by raising and selling the chickens, not selling eggs. If you could sell your chickens for $5 a piece, as is common in West Africa, you could easily make a profit. Not to mention $400 for a chicken coop is on the expensive side. You can buy a ready made 4 chicken coop for less than $300, and a friend of mine built a fairly sizeable coop for $200.
