How it works
Every figure on this page is calculated by the same code that calculates a real distribution. Nothing here is illustrative arithmetic written into a marketing page.
The worked example appears here once a project has published a month and paid a distribution. It is built from figures actually recorded on a real cycle rather than an illustration, so there is nothing to show until one exists.
Every project runs the same sequence. Your investment sits on this line at all times.
Funding
Month 0
Capital is raised against the project target before any birds are bought.
Your participation percentage is fixed when your investment is confirmed.
Bird acquisition
Month 0
Day-old chicks are bought from the hatchery and placed in the brooder house.
Capital is deployed. The batch is recorded with its supplier and placement count.
Growing
Months 1–4
The flock is reared through brooding and grow-out. Feed, vaccination and mortality are recorded daily.
No revenue yet. Costs are recorded against the project and reported to you.
Caging
Around month 4
Point-of-lay birds are moved from the grow-out house into layer cages.
The flock is in position to begin production. Population is re-counted on transfer.
Production begins
Months 5–6
Lay starts and climbs as the flock comes into peak production.
Revenue starts being recorded, but the period may not yet be distributable.
Production
Month 6 onward
The flock holds production. Eggs are graded and sold; feed and health costs continue.
Where a period is profitable, an operating distribution is calculated on your participation.
Flock sale
End of cycle
The flock is sold at the end of its productive life and the sale is documented.
Sale proceeds are recorded as a separate financial event from monthly distributions.
Final settlement
After the sale
Proceeds are reconciled against approved adjustments and the project is closed.
Your share of the amount available for settlement is calculated and paid.
Monthly operating distributions
Once a project is in production, each financial period is closed with its full revenue and expense record. If the period made a profit after expenses, a share of that profit forms the investor pool and is split by participation. If it did not, nothing is paid and the period is still published.
Final flock sale settlement
At the end of the productive cycle the flock is sold. The proceeds, less approved adjustments, form the amount available for settlement, which is shared on the settlement terms of the project. This is a separate financial event with its own terms — it is not a return of capital, and it can come back lower than the amount invested.
Each project shows its funding position, its flock and the stage the birds are actually at today.
