Calculating your hen/egg profits

[jomoncon]

I ran across an interesting website this morning that lets you input you chicken costs and eggs & lets you know if your making a profit.

Mine came out to a profit of $65.12 per year. If you use this, be sure to look towards the right to change from GB Pounds to Dollars.

Cool if I filled it out I came out ahead.

It says I'll make almost $200 profit this year! I'm not quite sure how, I guess it's because it spreads your costs (coop, etc) over several years. But it still makes me FEEL good!

It uses a depreciation method for your coop construction: X dollars divided by the number of useful years. For example, a $500 coop that will last 5 years equals $100 expense per year.
