Free range chicken and backyard chicken production is a lucrative business, but there are some essential things you need to do before you venture into the business. You have to decide on the size of your project i.e. the number of birds you want to keep per cycle; location of the business e.g. a poultry farm , and your target market. These choices will be affected by the amount of capital you have, and the size of your target  market.  If you do not have a lot of capital, you can always start small and grow your business overtime, remember, Rome was not built in a day.
