On Saturday, @ydb_ZN, who owns Khondlo Poultry Farm, shared photos of his business and he gave other social media users some advice.
"My advice to someone who wants to get into poultry farming, between egg production and meat production I would say meat production. A fully grown broiler takes 35 days to be ready for the market and layer takes 18-20 weeks to start laying."
Take a look at his post below:
The post gathered over 4 700 reactions and South Africans flooded @ydb_ZN's timeline with more questions.
He revealed in one response that he started the successful venture with only R500 in his pocket.
His reponse read:
"No funding. You can start very small something you can afford... The first day I started I had R500 with me, I probably spent R2 000 until they reached maturity."
