30 HOW I MADE $10,000 IN ONE YEAR 



Your pullets should be self-sustaining by October 1st 

 and should give you enough surplus in October to pay 

 your rent and living expenses. We must bridge the gap 

 between January and October. 



Say your rent is $30.00 per month you will need 

 $270.00 for rent from January to October. 



You want from $1,000 to $1,200 per year to live on 

 for nine months this would be let us say $900. 



We have tried to be conservative thus far, let us con- 

 tinue on that plan and count on 1,000 pullets; for that 

 number you should have $850.00. 



You will need some tools and appliances $50.00 prop- 

 erly spent will provide the things absolutely needed at 

 the start. 



This gives us a total requirement of $2,070. 



There may be some special requirements. You may 

 have to spend some money re-arranging, rebuilding or 

 renovating the buildings on the place. We cannot esti- 

 mate this you will have to do that for yourself or have 

 a carpenter do it for you. You will need troughs and 

 chick fountains, later you will need larger sizes of same 

 for the developing birds, and finally of a size suitable 

 for matured birds. We will count on $80 for these 

 items. This gives us a grand total then of $2,150. 



But we cannot quite afford to stop at this point. We 

 are now on our feet ; we have an income sufficient to take 

 care of us but if we stop there we get into trouble. Per- 

 haps half of the failures are due to that premature stop. 

 We must bear in mind that these pullets that began 

 laying in August and laid heavily enough in October to 

 pay not only their feed but our rent and living expenses
