How to maximize profit in laying Chicken





As a layer farmer, one has to understand all the variables that may affect egg production. 




Breed

The decision of what breed to rear is taken by the farmer and then the hatchery supplies chicks from birds bred for optimum egg production with known potentials.


Flock management determines when and if your hens reach their egg-laying potential. 


Management also determines whether the flock production curve fluctuates erratically or follows the established pattern.

The middlemen are still the one that would do the Major Marketing for most hatcheries.



Most hatcheries dont spend money on publicity, their new product or breed informations don't get to the last farmer.


Their current price etx don't get to the last Farmer.



It is this middlemen (supplier) that get the informations to the last farmer, the introduce new breed and product to the last farmer.


In short, they are doing a double Work. When the big boss in the hatchery are busy gulping money meant for publicity and Farmers awareness.
