Scratch grains cost around $10.00 per 50 lbs bag, between depending on availability and quality.traw will cost you between $3.00 and $12.00 per bale, depending on availability, quality and size of order. Sawdust pellets will cost around $4.00 per 40 lbs bag. How much a chicken will eat is near impossible to say. Certain breeds, Leghorns for example, are not big eaters.
First, the costs of the chicks. I figured about $3 per day-old, sexed chick, delivered to our farm. Of course, not all chicks make it through the brooding phase, so factor in a loss (say, 10%), and the per-chick cost is $3.33.That chick is also going to need some bedding, a heat source, a waterer, feeder, and of course a place to live.o, for the two years where a chicken is laying, it will need about 180 pounds of feed, plus the 16 pounds bringing it into hen-hood. We feed certified-organic feed, and when we buy it by the pallet, this year were able to get it for about $23 a bag.
