The Most Important Cost in Poultry Farming

Land – as we have already mentioned, land prices vary from state to state and from neighboring large cities. All you need to do is search and negotiate to get low-cost breeding Land.

Construction – we mean build cages for poultry to live in. In addition, you should consider other buildings, such as a warehouse for all equipment and a farmhouse for workers.

Chicks – we've discussed how choosing chicks might bring economic benefits. Usually, one day-old chicks are very cheap.

Poultry Facilities – this also depends on the size of your farm and the nature of your business. If you want to incubate chicks and sell them, hatchery equipment are a good choice. Second, if you want to do meat processing related business, you need other special equipment.

Vaccination – since vaccinating poultry and ensuring their healthy growth will directly affect your profits, it is necessary to spend some money on this.

Feeding – this is probably the most important expense, as the quantity and quality of feed will later affect their health and productivity. The diet of poultry varies with the life stage of the birds. Remember to provide them with high-quality feeds because it is unwise to save too much here. If you want to reduce your feed costs, try producing your own poultry feeds. This may not seem necessary at first, but producing your own feedswill save you more money in the long run.

Labor Costs – if your farm is commercial, you may find it difficult to do all the work on your own. At this point you may consider hiring more people to help you.
Other Expenses – there are always other expenses, such as advertising, insurance, electricity, safety and transportation, and sales. So make sure you include that in your budget.

How Much Does a Poultry Farm Make?

It depends on how much effort you put into the business and how profitable you want it to be. If you are a novice, it is recommended that you start with a small farm where the number of birds should not exceed 200-300. Raising poultry to produce eggs is the quickest and easiest way to start making money, especially if you consider focusing on non-GMO and organic farming.

Based on farmers and statistics in the field, you should expect a monthly net income of about $2,000 for 300 egg-laying chickens. This includes all the other costs you will face, such as buying chicks, organic feeds, chicken houses and regular checks at the vet for potential pests.

Broilers are also profitable because they only need about one and a half month to reach their ideal weight. Depending on local laws and permits, you can choose to butcher chickens by yourself and reduce the cost of further processing. Most farmers earn as much as $5 per pound of meat, while a whole bird earns about $20.
