Local chicken firm for poultry

Local chickens are different from the commercial breeds of chickens that are reared in industrialized poultry farms. They are healthy birds that can survive hard conditions. They can survive on a diet that consists mainly of locally available food items the key feature of the local chicken farming is based on the use of indigenous chicken breeds that are well adapted to the local conditions. Local chickens are typically smaller than the commercial breeds and they have higher disease resistance.

They produce comparatively little meat production costs are also negligible however their meat is delicious and nutritious so the demand is high and the price is high so a local chicken farm for meat can be a best way to earn money.

A local rooster weighs about 1.4 to 2 kilograms at maturity while a local hen weighs 1.2 to 1.5 kilograms at the point of lay the growth rate of local chickens slows down after 70 days of age. At 22 to 26 weeks of age local chickens are sexually mature to start mating and producing eggs.
