How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the current flock size (hens alive today) and eggs collected per day.
- Input the original hens housed at placement to calculate hen-housed production percentage.
- Set your egg price per dozen (wholesale or retail) to project revenue.
- Review Hen-Day Production % — above 90% is excellent, below 75% warrants investigation.
- Use Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Revenue projections to plan cash flow for your laying operation.
