The employment of a veterinary doctor in a poultry farm would really cost a fortune so it is not a great idea but if the owner of the poultry farm actually has the resources to go that route then by all means he or she should go ahead and employ a veterinary doctor 3 taking care of the poultry.

Well my question is, is he the one funding the business because poultry business requifunds to meet up the chickens target..there drugs must be used the day it as to be? But if he is just a manager then he needs to know when to apply their medication...and how to dispose them because there are some chickens drugs you just don't dispose carelessly even after use, you will have to dig the ground and Bury or dispose very far off from.the poultry.

When it comes to Agriculture investments, you require experience and expertise in various areas, if the owner of the poultry business lacks this, let him employ a manager who has utmost experience in poultry farm management, this includes taking care of the feeding, environment, cleanliness and health of the birds, let your friend stick to the above, he will definitely get a better experience.

Poultry farming requires investment. You can arrange the money by your own or you can apply for bank loan. Both govt. and non-govt. bank loans are available for starting poultry farming business.
First of all determine the production type of your poultry farm. You can raise broiler chickens for meat production purpose and choose layers if you want to produce eggs commercially.
Selecting a good farm location for your business is very important. You should select such a location which has all required facilities and favorable for your business.
It can be slightly far from the town, where land and labor is pretty cheap. But don’t setup the farm too far from the town. Because most of the towns have high density population, and you have to target that market.

You must have time to study the birds as a chicken farmer. It is not a waste of time to study your birds; rather, it allows you to get to know them and recognize when they require medical attention. You should also be able to administer medications on time or within the prescribed intervals.

Wow I guess there is more to it than just housing lots of hens in a small house and they start laying eggs. There is someone in my area, who runs a small poultry, I always hear her complain about her hens dieing, could it be that she is doing something wrong?

Poultry birds are needed to be maintained in a strictly hygienic manner with proper housing. A good and clean environment with proper ventilation should be provided. The farm should be disease and pest free. Layers require regular temperature.
