How to Start a Free-Range Chicken Farm with Limited Resources:

The small start-up of free-range chickens is an excellent way into farming, but it doesn't have to break the bank! This is how you can do it in easy, inexpensive steps:

1. Plan Your Space: Find a small portion of your backyard that is secure. Each chicken has 1-2 square meters for fowl roaming and scratching.

2. Choose the Right Breed: Go for hardy, dual-purpose breeds such as Rhode Island Reds or Australorps that can live on little and give eggs and meat!

3. Build a Simple Coop: Use recycled materials, such as wood pallets or bamboo, to make a cozy, safe space for roosting and nesting.

4. Feed with Local Resources: Supplement with kitchen scraps, adding local grains such as corn. Chickens also love insects, so let them forage!

5. Daily Fresh Water: Simplify it with easy-to-clean containers for fresh water.

6. Healthy Chicks: Keep them clean, add natural concoctions internally, such as garlic and turmeric, to keep them healthy and content.

7. Market Your Eggs in Your Community: Spread the word to your family, friends, and neighbors. Emphasize to the health-conscious customers the advantages of free-range and naturally-raised chickens!

Free-range farming can be affordable and rewarding! With a little ingenuity, you will soon be gathering fresh eggs and even expanding your flock.
