Breeder farms, however, produce the eggs that are sent to the broiler farms after they hatch. Breeder farms are the first step in the process of producing chickens that will eventually be consumed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the fundamental difference between what the two farms produce, there are other differences. Broiler farms are less labor intensive, so a farmer can handle up to six broiler houses with occasional day labor. Breeder farms, on the other hand, require more hours of hands-on labor. A two-house breeder farm requires several hours per day of gathering eggs, checking for dead birds, repairs, and other farm-related chores. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The length of time that the two different types of farms keep their flock varies greatly. Broiler farms only keep their flock anywhere from 36 to 63 days, depending on the target weight of the birds. Breeder farms keep their flock for approximately a year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another major difference is the variation in turnaround time. Broiler farms turn their houses around in just a few days to a few weeks, while breeder farms usually take 6 weeks to be ready for new birds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on these differences, the type of farm you should be looking into depends on the amount of time and labor you have available.
