Flock Break-Even Calculator
Break-even tells you the lowest egg price that keeps the flock from losing money. Enter total flock cost and expected egg sales to see the break-even price per egg and per tray, plus the profit at your planned price.
How to use it
- 1 Add every cost for the cycle, including chicks or pullets, feed, health, labour and transport.
- 2 Enter the eggs you realistically expect to sell, after mortality and rejects.
- 3 Enter your planned price per egg.
The numbers are estimates, not a promise. Use your own farm records where you have them.
Questions
What costs belong in break-even?
Everything you pay for the cycle: birds, feed, vaccines, labour, power, transport and a share of equipment depreciation.
Should I use all eggs laid or saleable eggs?
Use saleable eggs. Cracked, dirty and very small eggs should be counted separately or left out.
Why does my break-even keep moving?
Feed price, lay rate and mortality move it most. Recalculate whenever feed price changes.
