Hi, I'm new to the site (obviously lol) but have been raising chickens off and on all my life.
It's funny, perusing the forums, I've learned that I need to unlearn a lot of the mistakes I've repeatedly made from trial and error but I'm eager to get started.
Here is a breakdown of my flock and expenses.
This was calculated with OpenOffice Calc. (love it!) and 1 correction (we have 2 Americana roosters) So he eats an additional .11 bags of feed each month.
