     Building construction est.cost for 3168 cap.    =  P  500,000

     Ready to lay chicken(16 wks old ) 3168 heads =  P  665,280

                                                                            P1,507,424 total initial investment

Ex.  3168 heads x 70%(worst scenario of eggs harvest)= 2,217 eggs pcs/day x .40 centavos SAMPLE LOWEST GROSS EARNING/pc x 30 days(one month) P26,640/month is much better than ….

1000 heads x 70% = 700 eggs pcs/day x .40 centavos gross earning/pc x 30 days = P8,400/month.
