Feed cost for 2 - 4 chickens will be relatively small since a 50 lb bag will last quite a while. I use pine shavings, and I use about 1 50 lb bag/month. There's the upfront cost for waterers and feeders, and if you electrify the coop, there's costs for installation and energy usage.eed cost for 2 - 4 chickens will be relatively small since a 50 lb bag will last quite a while.

Then, they switched them to a low fat (24% fat) or one of two moderate fat diets (34% fat) for five weeks. One of the moderate fat diets contained healthy fats like sunflower and canola oil; the other got the majority of its fat from one whole avocado per day.
For a 2000-calorie diet, the daily intake of fat, including MUFAs, is capped at 65 grams. A 140 gram, medium-size avocado (roughly one cup) contains 23 grams of fat â that's almost one third of your fat intake for a day â and roughly 250 calories. For comparison, a medium apple is just under 100 calories and is relatively fat free.
