by the numbers

With some egg-laying time under our belt, the two new chickens and the loss of our other girl, I thought it might be a nice time to crunch some numbers:

Previous total, on April 21st = $357

Food bought since = $0.

Eggs produced since then = 148

Previous eggs = 29

Total per egg = $2.02

Total per dozen = $24.24

This is averaging 5 eggs per day when we had all 6 hens and dropping it down to 4 per day once we lost the one. This has consistently been our average. No, I am not keeping a tally!
