How about opening a chicken farm in rural areas? Is it highly profitable? How to expand sales?

The idea of ??opening a chicken farm in rural areas is a good one. The profit is pretty good. You don’t have to worry about sales.

My family has been in the egg wholesale business for more than 30 years. I know a lot about rural chicken farms. Let me share my views.

Construction of a chicken farm

Twenty thousand chickens can be raised in four acres of land, and a simple chicken shed costs more than 300,000 yuan. Automatic feeders, manure scrapers, feeders, chicken coops, etc. cost about 100,000 yuan.

Manpower

Two or three people are enough to raise 20,000 chickens.

Raising laying hens

Raising laying hens is much less risky than raising broiler chickens. As long as the chickens don’t have major problems, you can basically make a profit without losing money. Chickens can be imported from newly hatched or 55-day-old young chickens, and they will start laying eggs after 120 days. The cost of each chicken is about more than 30 yuan. The breeding cycle of laying hens is about 500 days.

Raising broiler chickens

The risk of raising broiler chickens is relatively high. The growth cycle of chickens is only forty or fifty days, and chickens can easily get sick. It is not recommended for those without professional skills to raise chickens. Dead chickens are worthless!

Sales problem

The sales of eggs and chickens are not a problem. There are professional dealers all over the country. There are fair and transparent quotations every day in the local area. Eggs and chickens are best-sellers, and dealers will take the initiative to buy them.

As the saying goes, "If you have a lot of wealth, it doesn't include the feathers." This shows that the risks of poultry farming are still quite high. Only by mastering the breeding technology can the farm be managed better and better.
