Raising Free-Range Chickens for Profit is a hands-on guide written specifically for South African smallholders, backyard farmers, and peri-urban entrepreneurs who want to turn chickens into reliable weekly income.
Unlike generic poultry books, this guide focuses on real South African conditions — rising feed prices, municipal bylaws, predators, water challenges, township and smallholding realities, and local selling channels like WhatsApp, schools, churches, and neighbourhood buyers.
Inside this book, you’ll learn:
-
How to choose the right free-range business model (eggs, meat, dual-purpose, or selling pullets)
-
What “free-range” really means — and how to run it profitably
-
How to design low-cost housing and rotation systems
-
Feed strategies that protect profit, not just growth
-
Health, biosecurity, and flock management for small systems
-
How to market eggs and chickens locally — without price wars
-
The numbers that decide whether you’re actually making money
-
How to grow beyond the backyard into a micro-enterprise
This book is ideal for:
-
Smallholders and backyard farmers
-
Township and peri-urban poultry keepers
-
First-time agricultural entrepreneurs
-
Anyone wanting ethical, profitable food production on limited land
📍 Written for South Africa. Practical. Realistic. Profit-focused.
