How profitable is cordyceps chicken farming? A detailed analysis in one article

    Cordyceps chickens break away from the traditional farming model, not relying on complete compound feed, raised on entirely natural food with no drug residues. The rearing method is simple; they can be kept in cages, pens, or free-range. They need only ordinary energy feed, such as small insects, pasture grass, grass seeds, and green vegetables. Because of their strong omnivorous nature, their digestive tract is especially well developed. At 90 days of age, roosters weigh 1.25-1.5 kg and hens weigh 1-1.25 kg. Raised using an ecological chain farming model, livestock and poultry manure is used to breed small insects and grow pasture grass, forming a food chain that both meets the needs of rearing and turns waste into treasure, improving the meat quality and the surrounding environment. They are genuinely pollution-free green food and are highly favored by consumers. Currently, there are fewer than 50,000 cordyceps chickens in stock domestically, mainly distributed in Guangxi, Hebei, Chongqing and other areas, raised by specialized households. In recent years, small chicken breeds have sold very well, with prices 2-3 times those of ordinary domestic chickens, making them highly popular in the market, and the farming prospects are even broader.
