if you are looking for short time investment go for broilers, if you are looking for long time investment go for Village Chicken, in the long run Village Chicken is more profitable, it takes 5-6 months for village chicken to start laying eggs in the next six months you will have more than 100 chickens if each give you 10 chicks on average my first batch gave me 16, 15 and 11 chicks, if a chicken lay 15-20 eggs it’s possible to hatch them all, you just need to look out for thieves, cats, rats and dogs to improve the hatching percentage, Village Chicken don't easily get sick, after few weeks you can separate the chicks from the mother and they start laying again, feeding in broiler contribute greatly in cost of production unlike in Village Chicken anytime any day i will choose Vilage Chicken.
