A note on egg production

Feed costs 12.5 cents/egg

     In 21 days, from 27 March to 16 April, 8 hens produced 108 eggs.  That averages out to 5 eggs a day from 8 hens.  Pretty close to my ideal of every day and a half, a hen and a half lays an egg and a half.  (That's today's math challenge)
     They also consumed 50 pounds of laying mash, costing $13.42.  This cost amounts to $1.50 per dozen.  Other costs, housing, initial cost of hens, periods of low production, probably bring that cost up to at least $2 or more, but the quality of the eggs and the camaraderie with the chickens make it a bargain.
     I'll probably be changing to a less expensive laying mash, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with the way things are going.  Comments or suggestions are welcome in "comments" below.
