Let's face it-raising chickens for your own fresh eggs is like a gateway drug to a full-fledged addiction to all things 'rural'.ere's what it looks like to date (from 15 chicks in May of 2011 to 17 producing hens - 13 of which are 20 months old and 4 are about 7 months... oh, and 2 roosters [was 3 but one was dispatched by a hawk this past Christmas]): 1  Cost of building the coop and run (materials only): $315.
One diet was lower in fat, providing 24 percent of total calories (11 from monounsaturated fats), and didn't include an avocado. A second, non-avocado diet was more moderate in fat, providing 34 percent of total calories (17 percent from MOFAs). The third was equally moderate in fat, at 34 percent, but included one whole Haas avocado per day.
Calorie Content. On average, the flesh of one medium California avocado contains about 227 calories. If you only eat one-fifth of the fruit, you'll consume about 45 calories. Eat half an avocado and you'll consume about 114 calories. Although avocados are calorie-rich compared to other fruits, they still have fewer calories than fatty condiments like mayonnaise, which contains 94 calories in just 1 tablespoon.
