If you have to ask, you need to do a lot more research before investing. Poultry how? Meat birds? Layers? Broodies? Where is your market? Who is currently supplying to your proposed market? Are you going to be able to underbid them and still turn a profit?
My family has layers, 6.5 million of them. A bird averages 1 egg per day, wholesale eggs sell for $.30-$.45/dozen. With feed, buildings, labor, packaging and shipping, how do you turn a profit on that?
These are questions you need to be able to answer before investing.

I would think the only poultry business that would give you a high rate of return in the future would be Free Range Farming.
I for one will not buy chicken or turkey from the local supermarket and am finding more and more peopel that are going Free Range..

Poultry business is remunerative if looked after well and run scientifically. The chicks are to be regularly medicated and fed properly. Their sheds are to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The eggs and meat has good market value and even the droppings of the chickens can be used as natural manures.

My opinion is profit margins are slim. My SECOND opinion is, if your family knows nothing about poultry farming, it’s a rotten “investment”. You’re going to lose your shirts.

Poultry is a fowl business.
