Another month ready to go, some may wonder why I post this stuff. Initially, it was a way for me to just let friends and family keep up with the things going on around the farm. Then it become a log of things not to do. Now it is a record for me of the things that have gone on and the times they occurred. I can look back and find information and facts of things that have happened. So now I use it as a journal and log book for the various things around the farm. Next year, I will start posting some of the sheep facts also.
July report: I gained $10.11 for the month on an average 18.3 hens laying(a decrease of 1.2 hens/day). My net income total is - $246.55 for the year . I had $46.89 in expenses for feed (200#) this month. For the year, my monthly expenses are $108.47. We collected a total of 263 usable eggs averaging 8.5 eggs/day collected (a decrease of 2.6 eggs/day due to predator kill). My productivity for the month was 46% (decrease of 11% from last month). The chickens ate 0.76# food/egg (a raise from last month of 1.4%). It cost $0.18/egg or $2.16/doz for feed (an decrease of $0.12/dozen over last month). My monthly net income is a loss of $35.22/month this year (a decreasing loss of $7.56/mos)
I made money this month! Thank goodness for Summer and plenty of bugs and green grass. The decrease in feed costs helped lots even with the decrease in hens.
