Calculating broiler chicken feed cost - PPP#1 S1:E5

[@antonhuman8446]

I'm in SA. Constantly research farming methods and costs in other regions. And hugely enjoy and appreciate this! Thanks.

[@mikeries8549]

Right now it's $17.99/bag for meatbird feed. I get it at a farm store. The egg layer type feed is $11.50/bag. It's Cargill

[@robertsmith2199]

I purchased the stress free tractor design and if finances weren't on a shoe string budget for this season, I'd get the PPP, as well. Keep it up. Missed the videos while you were gone.

.Mornin' there Farmer John! Good info and clearly stated too....thanks for sharing.

[@ashleyrushton2860]

You could ferment their feed and save at least 50% on costs and feed them healthier. Great video

[@julitazebrowski2449]

Love your videos, you helped me get through our first batch of 15 cornishX. Also, loved the processing video. Huge help! Thanks!

[@gwc3721]

I know this is an old video, but are you getting 3x the price from your customers for using organic feed?

[@charliesweb1k]

Do you have a video on how many pounds of feed a flock of 100 large breed egg laying chickens eat?

[@farmmarketing]

If my memory serves me right your birds will eat between .28 and .32 pounds of feed per bird per day. It’ll vary seasonally a little, and also on what other food they find or forage.

[@nomadismileseeker6611]

John. Do you feed starter to your broilers and then regular feed?

[@Psynosis]

Hi John, enjoy watching your videos these past couple of years. We’ve made our first order of chickens and are building your tractor in the spring. Question, how do you cut off their food before processing? Do you take them off the pasture?

[@AllHeartHomesteading]

Okay so what feed mill are you using

[@tracyestabrooks6431]

I have a idea for the feed

[@VincentM]

Wish I could find organic feed for that price! I’m paying over $30 for 50 lbs of starter.

[@christianmiglio7052]

John, I am on the other side of CT. Where are you getting your feed from? My cost per bag is much more than that for similar feed!

[@rickayers3150]

Good video , feed is a big part of it for shure.

[@tracyestabrooks6431]

bug eggs and the life cycle of them that you could keep going with out have to go anywhere to feed your childrens

[@therandomguy8160]

How do you guys sell your broiler chickens at day 45?

[@DS-kn4bs]

I get my feed from a farm up the road. It's not organic but it's chemical free and only $7.50 a 50lb bag. I'm looking into pigs next... hopefully anyway.

[@farmingjobe1564]

Here in Nova Scotia I can get a 50 pound bag for 15 dollars

[@pierre-oliviercomeau5277]

That's non organic

[@ricks2907]

Feed black soldier fly larvae. High protein and cheap to produce. Cheers Ricky 💃🕺🎶🎵🐈‍⬛💃🕺🎶🎵🐈‍⬛🎸

A chicken in Greece is less than 3 dollars, 2,7 euro actually.

1:30 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@nbklepp]

Why do your chickens require so much food?

[@glsmith20]

You need a brinks truck to drop that feed off 😕

[@4bdennis]

good morning dude in Connecticut

[@tracyestabrooks6431]

are you not using bugs, that's what they would eat if you didn't feed them

[@JamRoleStudio]

my chicks eat around 50+kg of feed in just 6 weeks

[@gcrranch439]

We don’t pasture feed because worms are so bad.

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

but don't chicken love worms?

[@dj_ath]

I'm so glad your out of Jail John. Everyone makes mistakes
