How much do I need to start poultry farming?

How much do I need to spend on Poultry Farm, like 5,000 layers, or 10,000 layers?

Here is the answer to the question: 
Firstly, Chicken Farm should have to build up a chicken house locally.

Usually, Chicken farmer in Africa build a half-open or open chicken house, Steel structure chicken house or Cement brick chicken house; (Chicken house building, please see attached photos)

Chicken House size: L32*W12*H3.5 in meter, 3 feeding lines with 4-Tier Layer cage for 5,000 Pullets.

Chicken house size:L60*W12*H3.5 in meter, 3 feeding lines with 4-Tier Battery cage for 10,000 egg layers.

Secondly, Chicken farmer can buy 42 sets of 4-Tier chicken cage for 5,000 Pullets, and one set of manure removal scraper device for 3 lines. That is it.

Thirdly, if you get a good chicken feed formula, chicken farmer can produce his own chicken feed to his poultry.So it is indispensable for you to buy a Crushing Mixer Mill for chicken food.

Fourly, please build up some small houses, one can work for warehouse for eggs, and monitor room; and the other can be for storage for chicken food.

For 5,000 layers, I think 15,000-16,000 dollars for everything if you build your chicken house in a good way.

Well, with good quality chicken cage, you can enjoy a lucrative business in 15-20 years.
