  1. Purpose: Broilers are raised for meat production, while layers are raised for egg production.
  2. Breeds: Broiler chickens are typically meat breeds, while layer chickens are egg-laying breeds.
  3. Growth rate: Broilers grow at a faster rate than layers, reaching market weight in 6โ€“8 weeks, while layers reach maturity at around 20 weeks.
  4. Feed requirements: Broilers require a high-protein diet to promote muscle growth, while layers require a balanced diet that includes calcium for eggshell production.
  5. Housing: Broilers are typically housed in large open floor spaces or in cages, while layers are often housed in battery cages or free-range systems.
  6. Lighting: Broilers are typically raised with 24 hours of light to promote growth, while layers require a specific amount of light to encourage egg production.
  7. Space requirements: Broilers require less space per bird compared to layers, as they are usually raised for a shorter period of time.
  8. Mortality rate: Broilers have a higher mortality rate compared to layers as they are raised at higher densities and are prone to health issues due to rapid growth.
  9. Market value: Broilers have a higher market value per bird compared to layers as they are sold for meat production.
  10. Lifespan: Broilers have a shorter lifespan compared to layers, as they are typically raised for a period of 6โ€“8 weeks, while layers can produce eggs for up to 2 years.
  11. Egg production: Broilers do not produce eggs, while layers are specifically bred for high egg production.
  12. Temperament: Broilers are typically more docile and less active compared to layers, which are more active and can be territorial.
  13. Vaccination: Broilers and layers require different vaccination protocols as they are raised for different purposes.
