My pullets started laying 2 or 3 weeks ago. I have 20 pullets and I am now averageing about 18 eggs a day. Not bad, que no?
18 eggs a day x 7 days a week = 126 eggs a week
126 eggs a week for 52 weeks = 6552 eggs a year.
6552 eggs a year = 546 dozen eggs a year.
saving me about $303.33 a year for eggs at the grocery store except for the cost of feed.
Feed is costing me $22 a month (average)
$22 x 12 months equals $264 a year.
$303.33 minus $264 equals $39.33
Wow, now that I've done the math I am not saving hardly any money.
Oh well, I sure enjoy the eggs. I figured the price of eggs at $1.80 a dozen. I need to get the cost of feed down, huh? That dont even include the scratch, or running the well to water them. Man, I might be loosing money.
