more number crunching

Tough girl on the bus

We had to get a food refill for the hens today. Last food was provided by BJ on January 19th. That means that it lasted 6 weeks. The cost at the time was approx. $14. and we were totally on empty when he brought it, as we are on totally empty today. Weekly cost of feeding 4 hens? $2.33 in food, $0.54 for grit = $2.89 for all organic whole grain chicken feed. We are switching recipes to this recipe for layers this week and will be doing it this way from here on out, so I'll hash out the cost break down when we run out of this new batch.

More numbers for comparison - last week we drove (in our shared car) approx. 44 carpool miles and 57.6 non-carpool miles. Jeremy also carpooled approx. another 79 miles where he was the passenger. We also logged about 14 miles bicycling to the park/running errands and we had a potluck at the park on Wednesday night that we utilized public transportation for. Riding the bus down El Cajon Blvd. at night is quite an experience, let me tell you! Jeremy also took the bus/trolley for another 35 miles or so. Yay for two hour busrides to cover 22 miles!
