1. Poultry farmers start without a Plan
Jumping in without knowing costs, goals, or market leads to failure.
2. Overcrowding Birds
Too many birds in a small space leads to stress, disease, and slow growth.
3. Poor Housing Leaky, unventilated, or unsecured housing exposes birds to predators, cold, and diseases. 4. Wrong Breed Selection
Choosing the wrong breed for your goal (egg or meat) can waste time and money.
5. Poultry farmers at times skip Vaccination
Not vaccinating on time making flock vulnerable to deadly diseases.
6. Inconsistent Feeding
Changing feed types or schedules can affect growth and egg production.
7. Ignoring Biosecurity
Allowing strangers or infected birds into your pen can spread disease quickly.
8. Lack of Clean Water
Dirty or limited water reduces feed intake, causes diseases, and lowers production.
9. No Record Keeping
Not tracking costs, feed, or production means you can’t measure profit or losses.
10. Delaying Treatment of Sick Birds
Waiting too long can lead to the spread of illness and high mortality.
