Raising Chickens for Money

Wife and I are on outskirts of metro area on a fairly busy road and am thinking about raising large chicken flocks for egg, baby chick and pullet sales.

We do have a lot of experience with chickens, just have not seriously considered trying to make a few $$$$ until now.
The local farmer's markets do a super business and a few farmers are selling free range eggs $3-$3.50/dozen.
Unsexed chicks sell here for $3.00.

Has anyone on the forum tried selling eggs, baby chicks or pullets?

Is it a silly idea or worthwhile? Any tips, ideas appreciated.
