The average chicken lays about three eggs every four days. Let's say
that you're already established as a chicken farmer and have a flock
of 150 that you manage.

If it takes you four hours a week and your chickens give you 450 eggs
a week, or 37.5 cartons of 12. If you unit priced the egg with 2x
profit, each egg is priced &=9.6m or &=1.92h for a dozen. The chicken
farmer could earn &=72h a week from eggs and pay anyone &=8h to do the
4-hours of labor, saving &=64h for other needs.
