How to Be Prepared For Your Own Chicken Business & Make $$$$ Really!
Raising chickens for our family has been well.... "my nest egg" for our families future. Raising chickens is a secure business model for steady income. There is a steep learning curve to raising chickens and running a business at the same time. So are you thinking about entering the field of agriculture? You must have a secret desire to work hard in all kinds of weather from dawn to dusk seven days a week, AND be broke at the same time! Seriously, raising a flock of chickens IS hard work. BUT with experience raising chickens can be profitable.
To get started for the first 3 years or so until you can get automated machines plan on a 10 hour day working in one form or another for your poultry farm by; purchasing, growing or delivering feed to chickens and or constant repair of your coop is actually common place if you want a great coop and healthy chickens. Not to mention the accounting aspect.

Join local poultry clubs or forums to meet people in your same field. Consider spending time helping poor or a charity.
If you "breed" chickens, will you have a market for roosters? Many people plan on breeding but forget the time, money, space and food that lots of roosters can cost your business.
Consider joining market days or garden clubs in your areas and meet like minded nature enthusiasts.
You MUST have a predator control plan in place before starting your chicken business.
Think of profits in "pennies" not dollars as much of your income will go right back into your business.

Unless your barn, coop or buildings are equipped for year round production (indoors) do not try to raise chicks in winter or late fall or a cold spring because cold wet weather is not good for the chicken business.
If you want to increase you business, treat customers right, sell them only quality chickens, and always tell the truth. Your business will grow on its own!
