Hi, thanks for the reply,
I have a Mac, so not sure about Excel, but can use their version of a spreadsheet.
My girls are giving me dozens of eggs a week and to special people I've been giving them away, like granddaughter gave her 18 last week.
I'm selling them at $4.00 a dozen because I feed them vegetables plus calcium. But then I'm also doing the same for my horse, goat, rabbit, geese, and ducks, they all eat basically the same diet.
Have people waiting on the duck and goose eggs also and will price them even higher.
Take care and thanks again about the spreadsheet advice, will look into it.
God bless

Anytime. Sorry I am a PC person haha. We are selling ours for 4.00 a dozen as well currently. Using it as small way to supplement wedding savings. If you want to go more in depth with your records I would find whatever comparable program you can get for Mac that is like Quickbooks. That way you can see what money you are putting into them versus what you earn for your eggs. It would keep track of all expenses and profit. I am not so much a numbers person but if you are that could be great. Sounds like you have a great setup though! Good luck!

I was a PC person also, but I went back to school and my netbook broke, and Mac, at the time, was the only very light laptop. Still have several that are password protected and can't get them open, oh well!!
I'll look into something like Quickbooks because I'm curious as to how much I'm spending on veggies, supplements, and feed vs how much I can make.
I'm quite content with all my babies, and as soon as I build a new enclosure I'll get about 12 more
