Broilers are mainly for meat while layer’s are raised for eggs
-
Provide chick starter/grower crumble for young chicks, switch to a complete layer ration for laying hens, and use broiler feed for meat birds,
-
What are the economic differences between broilers & layers?
-
Broiler management focuses on rapid meat growth with high-protein, fat-rich feed and 24-hour light, while layer management emphasizes egg production with calcium-rich feed, specific lighting for laying, and clean nesting areas, though layers require less space per bird over their longer lifespan
-
What are the factors affecting chicken egg production?
-
Genetics fundamentally influence poultry growth rates and egg production through selective breeding for desired traits, identifying genes that control hormonal regulation, appetite, muscle and fat development, and ovarian function, and the use of genetic markers to accelerate improvement.

How can you ensure the freshness of eggs before use?
-
The effect of keeping males and females together or separate depends entirely on the context, which can include social settings, animal husbandry, biological research, or public health, and there is no universal answer. In human contexts, separation can sometimes be beneficial to prevent unwanted behaviors or promote specific outcomes, while together can be necessary for social development or family units. In animal husbandry, the decision depends on whether the goal is breeding or managing aggressive social dynamics. In biology, separation is often crucial for studying the inherent biological differences between sexes.

-
What are the nutritional requirements of broilers and layers?
-
Ideal sieve sizes are smaller for young broiler pre-starters (e.g., 1.5–3 mm) and gradually increase for finishers (e.g., 3–7 mm)
