Excel spreadsheet for tracking expenses and income from chickens

[raizin]

I have sent email to everyone so far. Let me know if you are having any problems. Steve

The only problem I see with the spreadsheet is that it's built in Excel 2007, and some of the functions aren't available for Excel 2003 and lower. The monthly pages are working ok, but the summary, specifically line 19, isn't doing much..... Nothing is propogating into Eggs collected, pounds feed per egg, Feed Cost Per Egg and Percent Productivity. If anyone is an Excel whiz and can fix it up it would be great!

Raizin's wife here.

I have a lower version of Excel on my work computer, and I'll take a look at the rolled back file tomorrow. Not sure why it's not propagating. I didn't do anything fancy, but give me a couple of days and I'll get it fixed.

Hey Raizin

Thanks so much for being willing to share this great tool!!

Look forward to using it

N:_)

PS.... maybe it's not such a good idea, it will just gactually point out to my DH how much money I'm spending on my girls. Something tells me that my profit margins are non-existant.....

I am all caught up again. My wife won't take very long. Does anyone have anything to add? Please just post it here, much easier for me to keep track of it and not lose it in my computer.

Mine aren't paying for themselves this month. I blame that on my new pullets, they are only 16 weeks old and not laying yet. I don't track them on the spreadsheet as laying hens yet, but I do track all of the feed consumed by all of my chickens so it looks like the laying hens are going through lots of feed. I track it this way because it is an actual outlay of cash for my chickens.

Thanks, STeve

The other spreadsheet that was full of functionality (but totally protected so it couldn't be updated for 2009) tracked blue egg layers vs. brown egg layers, other than that I like your wife's version much better, the info is meaningful. Thank you guys so much for posting it!
