If you've decided to  raise chickens for meat, you're probably wondering where to begin. Sure, get some chicks, raise them to slaughtering size, process them or get them processed, and sell them, right? Sounds easy. But organizing your chicken broiler business takes some work.Small scale farmers have decided to start this business despite its challenges since people are opting to take white meat rather than the red meat which the doctors are advising their patients to minimize.

There are rules to use when rearing the chicken so as to avoid the chicks from dying.one should also identify the business market.Who are your local buyers? Will you sell to consumers directly from your farm and if so, how will they know where to find you? Will you sell to restaurants?

Also consider whether you will sell conventional Cornish Rocks, the fast-growing cross that is the large-scale poultry industry standard, or go for an heirloom breed or hybrid specially designed to forage on pasture.
