Starting too big
- 1,000 birds without ever raising 50 is a fast way to lose your capital.
Buying chicks from an unverified hatchery
- Lower mortality starts with a known source. Check SabiSense reviews first.
Skipping biosecurity
- One visitor in dirty boots can wipe out a flock.
Feeding by guess
- Underfeeding costs more than feed — slow growth, low lay rate.
Ignoring records
- Without daily mortality and feed records you cannot improve.
Selling without a plan
- Birds at market weight with no buyer = feed cost burning daily.
