Virtual Broiler Field Day

Poultry is a low-cost farm enterprise with a short turn-around that holds potential to be a profitable business venture. Many beginning farmers are choosing to start with poultry, but may have questions including: what it takes to raise them; if they should process themselves or send them out to a certified processor; how to add value to a whole chicken; and is raising chickens something that can be profitable for me? This presentation reviews the basics of raising broilers for meat production, including a step-by-step processing demonstration.
