Financial Records
Financial records must be kept of any items bought (purchases) and sold (sales), e.g. feed, veterinary
costs, equipment, supplies, birds, etc.
These can be kept using an ordinary exercise book. On one page, write down all the income from
eggs sold or live birds sold. If it is eggs being sold daily, make an entry every day for the quantity
(number of eggs or trays) sold and cash received. On another page, write down all the costs of
production. Such costs include: feed, vaccines, litter, labour costs, and transportation costs, etc.
Once correct entries for all the activities have been made, get the total of all the sales made, and all
the expenses incurred. Then subtract the expenses from the sales to know the profitability.
