As a result, they are earning 1000 birr per day. We have calculated an average yield to be 226 eggs per day and estimated the laying age to be 7.5 months. Thus, a total of 49,720 eggs per laying age is expected to be the earnings of the group. Similarly, it is estimated to sell all pant hens after completing the laying period so that by considering10% mortality rate, we estimated to sell 270 culled hens by 150 birr and expect 40500ETB. Thus, a total of 239,380 birr is expected from the farm at the end of the year. Therefore, the CIG group is financially viable. The group expects 113,690-birr net profit after deducting the depreciation cost. Thus,
