Sandeep Kamble, an engineer from Degav village in Pandharpur taluka, Solapur district, got the business idea after watching a reel and used social media to gather in-depth information before laying the foundation with 700 to 800 native country chickens.
He earns through the direct sale of native eggs to major markets like Hadapsar in Pune, selling chickens that have stopped laying eggs for cutting, and generating additional income from organic fertilizer derived from chicken manure, netting about 1 to 1.5 lakh rupees per month.
He chose native country chickens because their disease resistance is significantly higher than that of other birds, and their eggs consistently experience high demand in the market.
