This calculator works by multiplying the number of chickens by the monthly feed cost and annual vet check-up cost, then multiplying the result by the lifespan of the chickens. The formula used is: (Number of Chickens * Feed Cost per Month * 12 + Number of Chickens * Vet Check-up Cost per Year) * Lifespan of Chicken.
