Their males can weight between 2.4-2.8kg in 6weeks after consuming a feed of between 5-5.3 kg of feed per bird.
Why the female broilers can only weigh between 2-2.3kg in 6weeks after eating 4-4.2kg Of feeds. So if you wondering why the weights of your birds are not uniform they are not uniform because your birds are combination of males and females they don’t consume the same amount of feed and won’t weigh the same kg.
In most cartons of day old chicks you buy, the females are usually more than the males in the cartons.
Another thing is female broilers can also start laying small small eggs after 4months of maturity but the eggs layed can’t be sold off to people because of how small the eggs are.
The easy way for farmers to make money weekly in Broiler farming is that they should try to have different batches of birds on their farms, that is if they have enough space on their farm they should separate their spaces or pen into 4 or more compartment so as to have more
batches of broilers which they can easily sell off weekly.
If you only have a batch of broiler you raise on your farm that means you can only raise 6batches of broilers in a year. Because if you raise your birds for 6weeks, after selling off you will need your pen to rest for another 2weeks before you can start raising another set of broilers. In essence you will need 2month to raise a set of broilers and that means you can only raise broilers 6times a year. But you can increase how many batches you raise per year if you can raise 2or 3 batches of birds on your farm.
