Easy Profit Tracking Spreadsheet for Egg Sales & Feed Purchases

After several years of wondering if I was breaking even with the egg laying flock, I decided to start tracking poultry expenses and sales this year. I created a simple spreadsheet using Google Spreadsheets, and you can access the spreadsheet by clicking HERE. I encourage you to read this article, I’ll keep it brief, I promise, but based on experience with the protein, fat, and cost calculator, I know I can address some common questions.

I prefer to use Google Spreadsheets because the app is on my phone so each expense or sale can immediately be recorded. This is useful for folks who aren’t great with organizing receipts, such as myself. Once you open the spreadsheet, there will be three tabs at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Under the first tab that says “Instructions” you will find how to download the spreadsheet to edit for yourself. No need to request access, you can download your very own copy! I receive numerous requests each week for my feed calculator, and I no longer respond to them. Everything you need to know about how to download the spreadsheet is in the instruction tab of the spreadsheet itself! I promise! You can also download this as a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet if you would prefer to use that platform.

The remaining two tabs are straight forward, one is for tracking purchases and the other is for tracking sales. Simply fill in the appropriate fields and let the spreadsheet do the hard work for you.

Unfortunately, I am not currently breaking even. I have spent a total of $722.13 on my flock this year, including feed, treats, pine shavings, and egg cartons. I have only sold $476 worth of eggs. I estimate I “saved” at least $150 on eggs for our own consumption. We typically eat 2.5 dozen eggs for breakfast and up to another dozen in other uses.

I’d love to hear how your tracking journey goes! Feel free to comment and let me know.
