You buy day-old broiler chicks, raise them for about six weeks, and sell them live to people who slaughter them for their own use.
One batch, step by step
- Clean and prepare the house; warm the brooder before chicks arrive.
- Days 0 to 21: starter feed, warmth and close watching.
- Weeks 4 to 5: grower feed. Week 6: finisher feed.
- Sell live birds at about six weeks.
- Clean out and rest the house before the next batch.
Who buys: families, events, funerals, street-food sellers and neighbours.
A good sign: your first batch sold with deaths under 5%.
