For those who have raised batches of 50 or 100 meaties, what was your total cost (chicks + feed)? Or perhaps a better question, since local feed prices differ, is how many lbs of feed did you go through?

I'm raising 20 as a test batch, but I afraid I didn't think about keeping track of costs until week four, so my numbers may not be accurate.
 
If you figure 20 lbs of feed each, that will get you close. If anything, you will be estimating a little high using that, as females will eat less.

Thanks! That actually confirms where I think I'll end up, so it looks like my figures were closer than I thought. I just bought my last bag of feed, which should put me at 400 total lbs for 20 birds.
