There are areas where they find it difficult to get poultry feed, you can decide to set up a place where people will come to buy feeds and other poultry vaccinations and medications.

People are tired of red meat and fish is kinda expensive, so if you own a farm raising birds just for slaughter and nothing else, then you should be smiling to the bank.

People raise turkeys, chickens, and geese for people that buy these birds (slaughtered) on the regular.
