Layers eat before they pay. I log feed conversion in Poultry Log so the feed bill faces the egg price every week.
The feed bill looked fine until it met the dozen price in the log. The ratio told the truth.
Feed vs dozen shows profit.
Conversion by flock.
Layer margin from the ratio.
Track layer feed conversion by dividing feed intake by dozen produced, logged by flock in Poultry Log, then compare to egg price. The ratio shows whether the feed bill is beating the dozen or the flock is earning.
Paper and spreadsheets can store layer feed conversion data, but they rarely show which house, flock, or expense is actually costing money.
