Compound feed is food for domestic animals that is made from a variety of sources and contains other additives. It can be fed to animals using either a broiler or a layer feeder, by filling the feeder up with the compound feed.
There are pros and cons for both. The mortality rate is lower with layers. Broilers are more sensitive to the environment and temperature. You can sell the layers when they are no longer productive in laying eggs. The broilers are sold as soon as they mature, The layers eggs are not seasonal and can make you money all year long.

No. Layers are layers and broilers are meat birds
Layers are the hens that lay eggs. Broilers are the chicks grown for meat.
2:1 for broilers
Layers- chickens raised to lay eggs Broilers- chickens raised for meat.
feed conversion ratio: for every one broiler,a certain amount of feed is consumed. eg: 100 broilers is feed 800kg of feed 100 : 800 100 : 800 1 : 8 so for every one(1) broiler,eight(8)kg of feed is consumed.
Layers and broilers refer to two types of chickens raised for different purposes in poultry farming. Layers are hens specifically bred for egg production, known for their ability to produce a high number of eggs over their lifespan. Broilers, on the other hand, are chickens raised primarily for meat, characterized by rapid growth and a larger body size. The two types have distinct care, feeding, and management practices tailored to their specific production goals.
Broilers are a type of chicken specifically bred for meat production, characterized by their rapid growth rate and efficient feed conversion. They typically have a broad, muscular body and a high breast meat yield, making them desirable for poultry farming. Additionally, broilers are usually raised in controlled environments to optimize their health and growth, and they have a shorter lifespan than layers, reaching market weight in about 6 to 7 weeks. Their temperament is generally docile, facilitating easier management in farming settings.
Broilers are chickens of either gender that will be slaughtered for meat at about 5 to 8 month old depending on weight. Layers are hens or PULLETS that will be used to provide eggs until they are about 18 to 24 months old at which time they will become stewing hens.
In poultry farming, layers and broilers refer to two types of chickens raised for different purposes. Layers are hens specifically bred for egg production; they typically start laying eggs around six months of age and can continue for about a year or more. Broilers, on the other hand, are chickens raised primarily for meat; they grow quickly and are usually ready for processing within six to eight weeks. Each type requires distinct management practices, housing, and nutrition to optimize their respective outputs.
To build up bulk, feed them a protein rich diet meant for broilers.
