Business pros and cons

Let's calculate all the pros and cons of this type of business. First of all, you will need helpers, because the process of feeding, watering, cleaning, driving out to graze - all this is quite difficult even on a small farm.

You will definitely need a seller of your products in the market. Do not worry! In the countryside, it will not be difficult at all to find a worker for your company. The main condition will be love for your and his wards, as well as for the person to cope with the tasks.

If you plan to organize a poultry farm with a population of five hundred birds, you will need:

  1. Register your business;
  2. Buy or rent a territory for a poultry house (if you have your own site, this item can be skipped);
  3. Build a poultry house;
  4. Purchase of young animals;
  5. Purchasing food;
  6. Payment of wages to workers.

What products will bring profit

By simple calculations, one can see that a hundred laying hens will produce about thirty thousand eggs during the year. The price for a dozen is about fifty rubles. Even if you sell only eggs, you can get one hundred and fifty thousand rubles.

All this is quite popular with summer residents (as fertilizers). And, of course, bird feathers serve as pillow fillers.

Ways to sell birds are quite numerous. It should be said that the easiest way is to sell on the market. If you have a large consignment of goods, then it is quite possible to make a deal with cafes, restaurants, sanatoriums. Only for this you will need a certificate of quality for everything.
