It all depends on how much your target market is willing to pay for the chicken and also how firm the agreement with them is since competition is rife in this sector.
Another factor is the cost of inputs mainly feed.
Bear in mind that kienyeji will take no less than 5 months to mature to eatable size.

If one has


a large piece of fallow land well fenced against predators
if you have access to restaurant wastes
own a posho mill

or basically have a foodchain to which you will link them to


then tkienyeji is a feasible option.It pays to have a specific advantage when getting into poultry and this also applies to business in general.

Hey Chicken farming for layer is quite a good business. Here are the figures from my last outing with the commercial layers.

Last yr Jan bought 200 layers @ 72 bob,,,,,fed them for 4 months. Had spent 60K before they started laying,,,,,,,they laid till end of june this yr from May Last yr. 14 months. From experience,on a minimum,out of 5 days of laying per flock,3 days eggs harvest buy the feed and 2 days is surplus for you -gross profit..... after they are exhausted of laying,the old hen goes at a price approximate to a tray of eggs,,,,,,,I sold off mine at 170bob a week ago.

Summary

Cost of buying + rearing till start of laying 300 bob

surplus during laying period 900

disposal price 170 bob,,,,,,,,,

but of course there are set up costs,,,,,,thats layers biz 4 you


the world has enough for everyone

Go for layers,they give alot of eggs,my sis did this business for sometimes and she was raking in good cash.

Broilers are also good( but only if you have ready market - like Kenchic) otherwise the kukus expire without having been slaughtered. They have an expiry date,without curling and you have a useless piece of meat in the name of broilers. Before the date reaches,my friend,you have to sell them. Woe unto you if you dont have the market.

Hence layers,eggs can stay for sometimes as you look for the market.

Hey,

Could somebody please give me the average returns for each broiler? I have been told that it can range from KES 40 to KES 80 depending on the management employed. Is that true?
