Manoknomics

Tools

Indoor floor area, outdoor run, feeders, drinkers, nest holes and perch, for 5 to 100 manok, from the Philippine national standard rather than a US rule of thumb.

The volume a flock needs from what it eats and how hot the coop is, the temperature at which that doubles, and the second problem nobody prints: a drum in the sun holds water your birds will not drink.

How heavy a Boholano native bird actually is at day 21, 45, 75, 100 and 120, off the one published Philippine growth curve, and what that is worth at the PSA farmgate. No feed cost, because nobody publishes what a native chicken eats.

What one egg costs you in feed, beside what an egg is currently fetching, and the lay rate at which those two meet. No payback period and no projected profit, because this tool exists so you can find out the answer is no.

Sixteen years of PSA farmgate, month by month, with the placement date counted back from the month you want to sell in. It names the two months the record actually supports and refuses to rank the other ten.

How the pages work

Four questions that come up bago dumating ang sisiw, and the answer to each of them is a table you read rather than a form you fill: hanapin mo lang ang hilera ng alaga mo. The rows either side of yours stay visible, which is what you want when you are deciding between 20 birds and 30. Three of the four also take your own numbers, under the table, if your flock is not on it.

Every number on these pages is computed at build time from a sourced coefficient, not typed in by hand. Where two sources disagree, both are shown side by side. Where nobody publishes a Philippine figure, the page says so, walang panghuhula, instead of borrowing a temperate one and hoping.

Where the figures live, and what else is here

  • Presyo

    Every price series the calculators read, with each observation dated and carrying the document it came from.

  • Data downloads

    The same archive as CSV, one file per series, free to re-use with the source column intact.

  • Bird flu

    Active DA and BAI quarantine areas, the case record, and what a backyard keeper is obliged to report.

  • Articles

    The long version of what the grids compress: feeds, brooding, kulungan, disease and the money.

About these figures

Peso figures on this site are dated observations from named sources, not offers or quotes. Prices move by brand, area and week, and decisions made on them are at your own risk.
