Description

One bag of feed a week. R360. That is what our chickens cost us to feed right now.
THE NUMBERS, PLAINLY:
– R360 a week (one bag of feed)
– R1,560 a month (R360 x 52 / 12)
– R18,720 a year (R360 x 52)
– About 30 eggs a day, just over a tray depending on weather (about 210 eggs a week)
– R1.71 FEED COST PER EGG (R360 / 210)
That R1.71 is feed only. It leaves out housing, labour, bedding, losses and the birds themselves, so it is the cost of the feed behind an egg, not the cost of an egg.
