According to chicken market experts, the price of chicken will increase further, while there will be a slight difference in the rate of chicken. Nawab Ali, chicken market expert and president of UP Poultry Farm Association, says, “Last year, the sale of retired hen (which has reduced or stopped laying eggs) used to range from Rs 30 to Rs 40 per kg. But due to the effect of Corona, now the same hen is being sold at Rs 80 per kg. This hen is mostly used for making chicken korma in weddings, so as long as the chickens are not giving eggs then there is no big risk even if they are giving 60 percent eggs.

In October-November, the rates of boiler chicken range from Rs 80 to Rs 85 per kg. But before the end of November, the boiler children grow up and the boiler rates start decreasing. But in October this year, the boiler was sold in bulk for Rs 120 per kg. Now today the price has come to Rs 110 per kg. A large number of hens and chickens have been killed due to Corona, so there is little hope of the rate reducing in future.

Know about boiler chicken business…Experts tell about the complete method of making a farm in this business, if you are starting with 500 chickens then 500 square feet of space is required. To make the form, 28 feet width and 30 feet length have to be kept. Apart from this, keep the height between the farms at least 10 feet and the height of the site 8 feet.

After making the form, get a net installed in it, so that insects like mosquitoes and flies can be prevented. The farm should be built from east to west. After making the form, spread a bed of husk or sawdust in it. In winter and rainy season, spread only straw and the thickness of straw or sawdust should be kept at two and a half inches.

Chickens are given three types of food, due to which their weight increases well. These diets are pre-starter, starter and finisher diets. First of all pre-starter should be given, it contains 24 percent protein which is given for 10 days.

After that, starter is given, the amount of protein in it is 22 percent, it is given till the weight of 1 kg is reached in 17-18 days. After that finisher diet is given. The amount of protein in it is 20 percent.

Many times farmers feed chickens in the morning and evening, do not do this at all. They should be fed every 8 hours and water should be given thrice, so that they can get fresh water. A good hatchery and good quality chick should be purchased. Nowadays many types of birds have arrived in India like Hub Bird, Ras Bird. It is not suitable for the climate of India, hence the poultry farmer should buy only the chicks of the Cope Bird.
