You are not only a poultry farmer: you are an entrepreneur in agriculture. Your house is a small factory. Chicks, feed and water go in; sold chickens come out; in between, six weeks in which every day counts. This guide follows one flock of broilers from the project to the final review, week after week, in an open-sided house under a hot climate.
Written from a hatchery that has supported farmers since 2006, it gives for each stage the actions, the figures to compare with and the decision to take: how many chicks to start with, how to prepare the house, how to succeed in the first 72 hours, how to run the six weeks, how to read your flock, what to do when things go wrong, how to sell and how to count.
