I've raised chickens for almost 17 years- have yet to see more profit than a few dollars towards feed costs. I have always tried to keep maintenance costs to a minimum while raising healthy birds. But once I account for electricity share, housing costs and feed/medicines, I am not making much more than a few bucks. I also include my time, which can really add up with twice daily chores to keep them in good shape.
As a former professional bookkeeper, I wonder how you do your accounting? As Katy said, that is a bit over the top profit, and since you began only in July, there must a mistake in the accounting method somewhere.
I am NOT saying you shouldn't try or be happy about it- only that I suspect you are missing some of your expenses when tallying the total. If you actually are making that kind of money, then go for it!
