Hi, does this amount include also much needed to lease land?

Assuming you've land then use the following four production guideline questions to enable you make a viable economic decision.
1.what to produce- addressing the issue of market availability(for eggs or meat)
2. When to produce- addressing climatic conditions and peak market demands as well as availability of other factors of production e.g labour, capital and land/climatic conditions
3. How much to produce- addressing issues of labour costs, variable costs, size of farm, if contracted as a farmer then you must also take into account your agreement with the buyer, if produce has to be stored or graded before final sale then the capacity and availability of these structures must also be checked
4. How to produce- experience, expertise and skills needed for better results must come to foreplay.
Remember these questions must addressed satisfactorily irrespective of the size of the farm
