The difference between broilers and laying hens

1. Broilers are mainly meat-producing, and laying hens are mainly egg-producing. - In general, farm-raised broilers - can grow from small chicks to large chickens in a month and a half. Broiler farming is a short-term farming process with quick cost recovery. However, breeding broilers also has many risks. Due to the rapid growth, it is easy to cause epidemics if not managed properly. Relatively speaking, the management is more careful and careful than that of laying hens.

2. Compared with broilers, laying hens have a long breeding time and are not as susceptible to diseases as broilers. Because of different breeding purposes, the feed of broilers and laying hens are also different. The feed for broilers is dedicated to making the chickens grow and gain weight quickly, while the feed for laying hens focuses on making the chickens produce more eggs. More importantly, it must not contain too much fat like broiler feed, because when there is too much fat, laying hens will not lay eggs.

3. The meat quality of laying hens and broilers is different, so in many cases there is no comparison. The meat of laying hens is more nutritious and chewy, while the meat of broiler chickens is very loose and not suitable for soup. There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to which of the two meats is better, as everyone's preferences and tastes are different. But you can try both and choose the one that suits your taste.
