Broilers are chicken that provides meat and also attain market size within a very short period of time between 6 - 8 weeks. The required basic things needed for broiler production is fresh feed, clean water, fresh air, light, thermal environment, space e.t.c The feed given to broiler chicken must contain 6 major nutrient which is carbohydrate, protein, vitamin, mineral, water, fat. You feed broiler chick with broiler starter from week 1 to week 4 and from week 4 above you use broiler finisher.
You don't need to have big poultry before you start raising broiler, you can start in your backyard and be making money with the production of broiler chicken.

You are right, people calculate the festive period most especially Christmas time and new year. I know a woman who uses her backyard and build small poultry house mainly for raising broiler and she does that every Christmas and new year. Am surprised when she told me recently that the least price she sold her broiler is six thousand naira.

Raising broilers is a good business though it is possible to earn a living from a small-scale broiler business, it is not easy selling them and actually making a living out of the enterprise is the real challenge. You have to optimise your production and your resources in the long run.

You can a make a living while raising broilers chicken and earn some substantial amount of money at every sales but you need a deep understanding of how to raise a broilers, if you don't have an understanding of it you can get a helping hand and they raise them for you, you pay them at the end of each sales which is like 6 weeks to 8 weeks depending on how big you want them to be.

Poultry farming could be considered as one of the most lucrative business idea in Nigeria today. It requires not huge capital to start as you can start from the comfort of your house if you have enough space to take the number of birds that you desire. The high consumption of the end product; chicken and egg are in constant demand in the marketplace and even at various homes in Nigeria today and this makes poultry farming very lucrative as it seems to be a potent source of animal protein outside fish, pork and beef.

Poultry farming is a profitable business and the desire of every poultry farmer is to make good sales after every harvest. So you need to pay attention to the marketing and sales aspect of your business. Do not be caught up in the operational aspect of your business so much that you ignore the sales aspect.
Nevertheless, the following ideas can help you in the marketing and sales of your chicken; taking your business online, selling to hotels and restaurants, advertising your products, employing marketers, home delivery, etc.

Poultry business is quite lucrative but sincerely speaking if am to go into this kind of business.
I would prefer going for layers and broiler because of this reasons
1) Layers will fetch me extra cash by selling their eggs.
2)Broilers are much easier to take care of compare to other species.
And the last part is that both will bring in better profit than having one alone

You are right layers can be raised all time and the supply of egg is always on demand in the market while broiler production is based on seasons especially towards newyear or Christmas, if you did not have company or business that deals with the use of chicken. So you have to study the market before choosing which is best.

This is a good business if you can really stand the good and the bad side, getting feeds that are nutritious, veterinary practice to curb away disease,one of the reasons while I avoided the business.
The only way I suggest is easier to make money is act as an intermediate contractor to industry that needs the chicken supply.
