Hens Pay Better Than Swine With Same Investment
Audubon Iowa July report describes poultry farmer Mr Littlefield who, with his 14 year old son, built a 48 by 48 foot central poultry house optimized for efficiency. The setup includes dual feeding hoppers, large pans for grain grit and shells, water by pans and a cistern pump, removable roosts over wire mesh, nests with frontless design, ample light and rat proof chutes, plus extensive ventilation. He raises 750 White Leghorns and 300 broilers, markets birds at 27 cents a pound, and operates seven brooders to manage chicks, all financed by a $1200 building and ongoing operations aimed at higher revenue than hogs.
