🚀 BUSINESS IDEA SERIES: Poultry Farming (Eggs & Broilers)
Food is one of Nigeria’s biggest industries, and poultry products (eggs, chicken meat) are in daily demand — from homes to restaurants, hotels, and bakeries. With the right management, poultry can turn into a steady cash flow business.

🔑 Why This Works
Eggs are consumed daily (breakfast, bakeries, food vendors).
Chicken meat is popular during festive periods and for restaurants.
Poultry is scalable — you can start small and grow into a commercial farm.

💰 Expected Revenue
Egg Production:
100 layers can produce ~80–90 eggs daily.
80 eggs × ₦100 = ₦8,000/day → ~₦240,000/month.
Broilers (Meat):
100 broilers at ₦5,000 each = ₦500,000 after 8 weeks.
Profit margins: ~30–40% depending on feed prices.
