Good that the price of chicken has gone up. Chicken was ridiclously cheap. I think you could get a whole barbecued chicken at the supermarket for about £1.50. How on earth can you raise a chicken from egg to grill and still make a profit out of £1.50?Comment

Rough guess:Originally posted by thunderlizard View Post
Say the final chicken weighs 1 kg, and over 50 days of its miserable life weighs 0.5 kg, on average.
Food required for lots of animals = 1 kWh per 22 kg per day**, so a 0.5 kg chicken needs 1/44 kWh / day, or 50/44 kWh over 50 days.
At 10pence per kWh (electricity energy prices*) = 33p per chicken. Not including lights, etc. To cook (oven uses say 3 kW, for an hour) = 3 kWh, so add 30p to cook. Total cost = 63p.
*I used electricity prices since I don't know how much chicken feed costs, though it has an energy content of around 3 kWh per kg.
** E.g. work it out for humans: 80 kg * 1 kWh / 22 kg/d = 3.6 kWh /d = 3.6 * 3,600,000 J / 4184 = 3128 Calories / day for a human. Birds tend to have a faster metabolism though, so might burn lots more and so increase the price.Comment
