Like any other business, poultry commercial farming requires  special skills before you venture into it. Many times people use to invest huge capital into it and later  regret, all these happen because they refuse to follow the necessary steps. The following are some of the things to do.

1. Draw out your business plan because it will serve as a blueprint or road map guiding  you to the business.

2. Invest capital. Money is the back bone of any business without it there would be no business.

4. Build your accommodation, do not spend huge money on building the cage because you will spend many years before you return back your invested money and start getting profit. Use local material for bulding, cage net, wood, and other needed materials.

3. Select a type of farming you want do, this can be layer breeding for egg production or broiler breeding for meat production.
