Eggs to Broilers

[T Hectares]

I have a free range egg unit that's nearing the end of it's economic life, it houses 26000 hens in seven wooden buildings

Would this type of unit be possible to convert to Free range or Organic broiler production or am I barking up the wrong tree??

What is the state of these industries??

I know very little of poultry farming as you may have guessed!!

As it's a existing poultry site planning should be easier to get for a new broiler sheds, and flatten old sheds ,
That would be my way of thinking

Would you not be better sticking with the eggs side of things,

Don't know, hence the question...

Eggs and Broilers are saturated markets ??
UK will have to cater for higher end markets as the US dumps theirs on us, my unit is pretty much at the end of it's life, all food for thought??

Could you convert to storage, rental

don’t tell all the people putting up new egg and broiler sheds!

I have seen egg units converted to broilers easily. Also seen them converted to pig units.

depends on location and what alternative options there are.
