Please, lol. I may be wayyyyyyyyy off with this. I am trying to get a rough estimate of the cost of raising one Muscovy duck, I can take it from there.
This is as dog food. The dogs will eat a bit less or a bit more but this makes it easier for me figure. lol
The ducks will free-range day/night.
Male Muscovy 16 weeks = 13 pounds
Female Muscovy 16 weeks = 7 pounds
13 pounds / 2 pounds per dog = 6.5 meals for one 50-pound dog from one male duck
7 pounds / 2 per dog = 3.5 meals for one 50-pound dog from one female duck
It costs ???? to raise 1 duck to 16 weeks
Oats cost 10.00 per 50-lbs
1 cup of feed per duck a day(?)
100 cups in 50 pounds of feed
800 ounces in 50-lbs feed
8 ounces in cup
6.25 gallons in 50-lbs
One 50-pound bag of dog food costs 18.00-20.00, 4 times a month.
After this I had fibro-fog, so I can't remember how to break that down into how much it costs to feed 1 duck until slaughter time.
Thanks for any help.
