Chicken farming involves raising chickens for their meat and eggs. Farmers typically choose between two main types: broilers, which are bred for meat, and layers, which are bred for egg production. Proper care, including adequate space, food, and water, is essential for healthy chickens and optimal production.
In addition to providing food, chicken farming can also contribute to local economies. Many farmers sell their products directly to consumers or supply local markets. Sustainable practices, such as free-range systems, are becoming more popular, allowing chickens to roam outdoors, which can improve their quality of life and the quality of their eggs and meat.
