POULTRY FARMING BIRD SELECTION

  will need to purchase a specific type of bird for
  your farm.

  whereas layers are used for egg production.
• You can also select from turkey, chicken, duck,
  quail, and other options.

  the chicken, and the terms poultry farming and
  chicken farming are often used interchangeably.

CHICKEN FARM LOCATION

• Your poultry farming business plan must account
  for your location.
• While most businesses are located further away
  from city centres, logistical costs must be
  considered.
• Your business location should only consider the
  local market and its appetite for your product.

  farming on a small scale is typically less than
  one lakh rupees.

  important part of starting a poultry farm
  business.
