I'm trying to do a price comparison chart between buying pullets, near laying (4.5-6 months old). My problem is that the majority of my feed is free grain that has been boiled out at our local brewery. So, I've got 7.25#'s of pre-made feed into each bird.. so my cost is like $3 a piece in feed (not including bedding and heating costs).
But, if a person was just raising new-hatched chicks to egg-laying age.. how much feed should they expect to feed. I have Orpingtons... but any egg-laying breed would help out my figuring. Thanks
