Ten typical ways chicken farmers lose money: did you fall into any of them?

1· The chicken farmer has a poor mindset, always wanting low input and high output, and is not prepared to "lose."

2· Always waiting for the market, not knowing how to tap into potential returns: one wait turns into another 10 days.

3· Harboring a gambler's hope, everyone wants to strike it rich with a single hoe. Anxious to recoup losses, only to find that the farming industry does not have the high profits imagined.

4· When the market is bad, reducing the chickens' welfare and neglecting health care, so the chickens' constitution also suffers; by the time the market improves, the chickens' production performance is no good, and one can only sigh at the price.

5· Poor management during the brooding and rearing periods: the laying rate cannot rise high, and it is maintained for only a short time.

6· Thinking that raising chickens has a low threshold, not understanding chicken-raising technology and management, yet still raising quite a lot of chickens: raising many but not well.

7· Poor chicken house conditions, crude necessary hardware facilities, and the conditions created are not set according to the chickens' required standards.

8· A muddled account, not keeping accounts, not knowing how to keep accounts, always feeling it is "about right," losing the labor money and losing the land, losing the time and losing the profit. The hard-earned capital saved up has become bricks, tiles, and wire chicken cages; assets are growing negatively, yet one is still unwilling to change the farming philosophy.

9· Not paying attention to the birth weight of chicks, poor weight uniformity at five weeks, only looking at the survival rate.

10· When an epidemic comes, defeat is like a landslide, not knowing how to prevent and control it, and the mortality rate is high. Once the epidemic has passed, one forgets the pain once the wound has healed, and does not summarize the lessons of failure.
