Poultry is now a profitable business, and you too can start one by raising poultry. Demand for chicken meat and eggs as a source of protein is very high in the country.

Raising chickens with a small investment over a short time is considered a profitable and promising agricultural industry. With proper planning, setting up a chicken farm can make poultry rearing profitable.

The right location must be chosen for the farm. Pick a place that has all the necessary facilities. It can be a little way out of town, where land is cheap, but do not set up the farm very far from town.

Also avoid setting up a farm in a residential area, because poultry farms produce bad smells. It is important to consider transport when choosing the farm's location.

• The farm site should be on high ground. The farm must be built where floodwater can never enter.
• The chosen site must have proper drainage.
• Electricity and a clean water supply must be arranged where the farm is set up.
