How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the average bird weight in pounds for your laying flock.
  2. Set the production rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.90 for 90% hen-day production).
  3. Enter the average egg weight in grams — large commercial eggs average 56–63 g.
  4. Review Calcium Required, Available Phosphorus, and Crude Protein to formulate or verify your layer ration.
  5. Use Feed Intake (g) and Metabolizable Energy to balance the diet against your feed ingredients.
