Firstly, you must construct a good house for your chickens. You need to know the size of the house you will need and how many chickens it can carry. The house should be secured so that no rats or birds can enter it.
Know the ratio of feeders and drinkers for your chickens. One feeder can feed 10 to 15 chickens, and 1 drinker can accommodate up to 20 chickens.
Inside the house, you must put down bedding. Normally, we use wood shavings, grass, straw, cudbords etc. They help to make sure the house is dry and easy to clean.
It is advisable to start with a small batch of 100 chicks 🐥 for you to learn. We learn from each batch, and no batch is the same.
You can buy 100-day old chicks 🐥 from your local hatchery.

Broiler chickens fully grow in 6–7 weeks. One chicken will consume 4.5 kg of feed in 6 weeks. That's 450 kg of feed for 100 broilers.

Once your chickens reach 4 weeks, you should start marketing them so that once they reach 6 weeks, you can sell them as soon as possible. After 6 weeks they will be eating feed (profit) that adds up to the cost of producing them. Marketing is very important in any business.
