Poultry farming focuses on raising chickens for eggs or meat, serving both households and businesses. In Kenya, demand for eggs and chicken products remains consistently high, making this a reliable agribusiness. You can start small and scale gradually as you gain experience and market access. Proper feeding, disease control, and housing are critical for success. Selling directly to consumers, shops, or hotels can improve margins. With good management and steady demand, poultry farming offers predictable income and long-term growth. It is especially suitable for those with access to affordable land and a willingness to learn practical farming skills.
