I'm gonna be RICH!

That is not the way I do chicken math! It looks more like 2+3-1+4+5= still not enough hens laying eggs! hahaha

well, sharing the spreadsheet isn't working. The formulas keep getting overwritten. It was a good experiment.

Lets try this. I've shared another copy of the spreadsheet on google docs:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AguBzFtggVBddGhMekF3OWo1aGJBMm05ZWIwVEctdlE

You won't be able to edit it, but you should be able to save a copy to your google docs. You should be able to edit the copy you saved.

Let me know if this works or not.

Adding up the money you spent so that your dogs are comfortable at night....Priceless!!!


I have a lot of play room with the chickens before I hit what is spent on the dogs.

Donated 5 dozen that last two weeks to a food pantry. As I grow the flock the eggs go to a good cause. End of the year it will show on tax return. Next year with growth I'll have my $2000 to show farm status!!

The coop is 160sqft so I can go to 50 hens with ease.

AND ITS FUN!!!!!!

If I had a chicken that layed just one egg between now and Easter it would end up as the main ingredient in the soup!

Where in RI are you?

We tried to donate 7 dozen to local charitable organizations. none of them would take them. In the end I sold them so it wasn't an issue, but I'd like to be able to donate my eggs if I do end up with a surplus. Who did you donate to?


I'm in Johnston at Salisbury Farm (follow the link under my avatar)

Nice to see other Rhode Islanders on here.

Now that I reread the original post, I would have came to the same conclusion. Thankfully, today I am up to 2 green eggs. Still waiting for the remaining ladies to join the layers club.

Mudd Farms Accounting Technique: throw away every other receipt, and ignore internet purchases altogether.

Very clever indeed!

I'm not raising chickens to sell eggs - just a small flock of 5 for personal use. But I saw an interesting business opportunity present itself the other day when someone here in Northern Alabama advertised a bucket of chicken poop for 15 dollars.
