This is my conversation with a Facebook friend who does 1000 broilers every two weeks in PH.

I simply use 7 weeks to get my 2.5 using 150 bags of feed for a thousand birds .
150 bags of feed 525,000
Doc 300,000
Drugs 10,000
Total 835,000
Salary etc makes it a million
If I sell one bird for 1800 and to some end users 2500 my profit per unit will be around 800k and I manage it knowing another set will be sold in 14 days . I have never been lucky to get 2kg in even 40 days but I’m willing to learn

You claimed egg production isn’t profitable, when asked how and why, you’ve referred him to ‘veterans’.
Meaning you have no single clue on what you are talking about. It’s never a crime to be silent on issues you don’t understand.

I dont have much experience in layers but all my friends are done with them. The margins are very small.

Lets look at your case study using your best days.
Probably 450-500 layers to get 12/13 crates
6600 for feed
revenue is 13*800=10,400
Balance per day=3,800
Balance for 30 days=3,800*30=114,000
Remove cost of monthly drugs, labour and opportunity cost and pray not to experience egg glut in the market and you are left with almost nothing.

Layer is more of a numbers game. Those who stuck large numbers of above 3000 or more birds have the advantage

bfo u start expecting profit u HV to know the nature of the business poultry is lucrative especially broilers but honestly speaking what is give headache on this business is marketing retailers gain more than a farmer because farmer may face mortality,diseases , therefore bfo u start thinking 2000 broilers u HV to start with 500 broilers to observe the nature of the business

Good day fellow Farmers, Pls I need advice wrt to my laying birds. They are almost 8 months and they are yet to peak. Around January, we recorded a peak of 8 crates and 24 pieces from 357 birds. Ever since, egg production has dipped. Today, I had just 4 crates and 23 piece. Vaccination has been up to date.
