🐔 Thinking of Getting Your Own Eggs? Here’s the Real Cost Breakdown 🥚

We’ve run the numbers on what it actually costs to produce your own eggs over 12 months with the Hy-Line Brown hens. These are one of the most reliable, productive layers available.

If you’ve ever wondered whether owning hens is cheaper than buying supermarket eggs… the answer is a clear YES.

📌 Cost of Keeping 1 Hy-Line Brown for 12 Months:
Hen at Point of Lay
➡️ $33 per hen

Feed Costs
Average Feed price: $23 per 20kg bag
Average feed consumption: ~110g/day
→ 40kg per hen per year
→ 2 bags = $46 per year

TOTAL COST PER HEN PER YEAR
👉 $33 (hen)
👉 $46 (feed)
Total: $79 per hen for the first year

🥚 How Many Eggs Does She Lay?
A Hy-Line Brown hen lays approx. 320 eggs per year (26.6 dozen).

Egg cost:
📌 Lets round up to 25 cents per egg
📌 That's $3 per dozen

🏪 Compare That to the Supermarket

Supermarket free-range dozen: $7–$9 per dozen
Home-produced dozen: 25 cents
👉 SAVING: Give or take $5 per dozen

Over a year:
320 eggs = 26.6 dozen
Savings per hen per year:
➡️ $133 saved — PER HEN

Own 10 hens?
➡️ $1,330 in savings every year
