It'll be A: I feel goat farming is less stressful and does not require special skill and attention like a poultry. The risk ain't pretty high.
C: Vegetable farm because there will always be a market for your produce, no matter the location.
You can also sub-divide the plot with a fence to prevent the goats from eating up the vegetables.

Poultry.

You can easily make 100 to 300 crates per week and start a neighborhood business with this.

The work looks cumbersome to me, it seems like it would be time consuming too

Thanks, I appreciate. Please guide me here so that others can benefit. Firstly, is it not time consuming as I assume?

Agriculture is time consuming


You have to feed them thrice daily


You have to pack poop



If you hire one or two hands, you can fold your hands while work gets done

I would like to hire but when a business hasn't started yielding profit it wouldn't make much sense to me for now. Please go on I'm listening

Set your eyes on starting first. Quarter plot dedicated to poultry housing. The other spaces for movement, storage of poop etc.


A carpenter that has handled this before should be contacted so with dimensions you'll be told what materials you need to buy.


Focus on setting up the house first.


This is the first thing.


Imagine it costs 250k to get the housing together which can be done in just ten days. The next thing to do is seek for day old chicks seller, the seller will provide you with vaccination program that will be employed in raising them the first few weeks along with other details you should follow.

So first the housing



Next planning


Number of chicks


Cost of feeding, you need to have an estimation from day old till maturity


Then heat source for day old chicks


Plan medications with the help of the chicks seller or veterinarian


Take it one step at a time, and you're good

Its best done by a professional who would not just identify the right materials, but quantities and cost. Roofing sheets, planks, rice sacks, nets, drums for water storage and feed storage , pallets are some of the things you'll need
