Choosing between broiler chickens and layer chickens depends on your business goals:
- Broilers are raised for meat and are ready for sale within 5-6 weeks.
- Layers are raised for egg production and start laying eggs from 18-20 weeks of age.
Broilers require more feed but grow quickly, while layers need long-term care but give consistent income from egg sales. If you’re new to poultry, starting with broilers might give you quicker returns.
