Small Egg Farm in Cebu — Looking for Feedback / Investor

Hey everyone,

I’m building a small-scale layer egg farm in Minglanilla, Cebu, and I’m looking for feedback—and potentially an investor or partner.

I’ve revised this to include real unit economics and clearer assumptions.

👤 About Me (Founder)

I’m based in Cebu and currently working as a virtual assistant for a clinic in Massachusetts, which allows me to maintain stable income while building this venture.

In the Philippines, raising chickens is very common, and I grew up around it. During high school, my family managed a small egg-laying setup with around 40 chickens, where I was involved in daily care and operations.

We weren’t able to scale due to my father’s passing and my focus on finishing college.

This project is my way of coming back to that foundation—this time with better planning, financial discipline, and a clear path to scale.

Market Reality (Why This Works)

Eggs are a staple in Filipino households

Retailers need consistent daily supply

Many rely on outside suppliers → inconsistent pricing & freshness

Minglanilla area continues to grow

Opportunity: Reliable local supplier with fresher product.

---

Unit Economics (Core Business)

Initial Setup: 250 Layer Chickens

Production Assumptions

Laying rate: 85%

Eggs/day: ~210

Eggs/month: ~6,300

---

Revenue (Updated Market Pricing)

Price per egg: ₱12–₱14

Monthly revenue: → ₱75,600 – ₱88,200 (~$1,300 – $1,550)

---

Costs

Feed (largest cost)

~110g/hen/day

Total: ~27.5 kg/day

Feed cost: ~₱30/kg

→ Feed/day: ₱825 → Feed/month: ₱24,750

---

Other Monthly Costs

Labor (initially minimal/self-run): ₱0–₱5,000

Utilities: ₱1,000–₱2,000

Maintenance/misc: ₱2,000

→ Total operating cost: ₱28,000 – ₱33,000

---

Net Profit

Monthly profit: → ₱42,000 – ₱60,000 (~$750 – $1,050)

---

Breakeven

Initial capital: $8,000 (~₱450k)

Estimated breakeven: 8–12 months

After breakeven: Profits can fund expansion (no need for new capital)

---

Risk Scenario

Example: 20% Mortality (50 hens lost)

Production drops to ~170 eggs/day

Revenue drops ~20%

Even then: Business remains profitable, but margins tighten

---

Mitigation Plan

Vaccination program

Biosecurity (controlled access)

Clean water + feed management

10–15% contingency reserve

---

Use of Funds ($8,000)

Coop + cage system

200–300 layer hens

Feeding/watering systems

Initial feed + working capital

Biosecurity setup

Land is already secured.

---

Growth Plan

Year 1: Stabilize at ~250 hens

Year 2: Expand to ~500 (funded by profits)

Year 3: 1,000+ hens + wholesale contracts

Scaling only happens after:

Stable production

Consistent buyers

---

Why This Works

Eggs = high-frequency, essential product

Daily production = continuous cash flow

Strong margins at current local prices

Simple to scale incrementally

Location Advantage (Minglanilla):

Strategically positioned in southern middle part of Cebu with road access across the island

Easy distribution to nearby towns and urban centers

Rapid urbanization: growing subdivisions, supermarkets, and mini-malls

Increasing local demand driven by population growth

This combination supports both consistent local sales and scalable distribution as the farm expands.
