What is described as the first step in raising poultry?

• A. Searing it
• B. Hatching eggs
• C. Feeding starter
• D. Selecting breeding stock

Answer: (A)

The first step in raising poultry is establishing the actual birds you’ll care for, which starts with hatching eggs. You either incubate the eggs or obtain day-old chicks, and that creates the flock you’ll raise. Once you have chicks, you move into brooding and feeding starter, keeping them warm and well-fed as they grow. Searing is a cooking method, not a step in raising poultry. Feeding starter happens after you already have birds, and selecting breeding stock is something you do later to improve genetics once your flock is established.
