- How do I calculate profit on a layer flock?
- Profit = egg revenue − feed cost − other costs. Egg revenue is your live hens × hen-day production % × egg price. Feed cost is hens × grams of feed per day × feed price. This calculator does the arithmetic for you when you enter your own numbers.
- What is a good cost per dozen for eggs?
- It depends on your feed price and production rate, but feed is the biggest driver. The calculator shows your production cost per dozen so you can compare it against the price you sell at — the gap is your margin.
Estimates for guidance only, based on the figures you enter. Real results vary with breed, season, feed quality and market prices.
