What does it cost to feed them?
Feed is usually the biggest running cost on a small homestead, and it is easy to underestimate. Pick your animal, how many you keep and what a kilo of feed costs you, and we'll rough out the weekly and monthly bill so there are no surprises.
This is a rough cost-of-keeping estimate, not a precise budget. Real intake varies a lot with breed, age, the weather and how much your animals forage or graze on their own - birds on good pasture eat noticeably less bought feed than birds kept in. Treat it as a starting figure and adjust it against what you actually buy.
