This farming is the fastest-growing and dynamic segment of the agriculture sector in India. However, desi chicken or country chicken has been practised in India for decades. Moreover, indigenous birds are usually raised in backyard poultry. Traditionally, these birds had low meat and egg production capacity compared to commercial layer and broilers production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, A chicken farmer is someone who raises chickens and eggs for commercial purposes. There are 4 main kinds of large chicken farms; pullet farms that raise chickens to be sent to layer farms or breeder farms, broiler farms that raise chickens for meat, and breeder farms that produce chickens for broiler farms and layer chicken farming that produce eggs.
