The advantage of reporting to the government is that in case you encounter any difficulties, the government can give priority to helping you provide solutions, such as your financial difficulties, and they can give priority to helping you contact the bank for loans.
The advantage of reporting to the police station is that your safety is more secure, which can prevent lawless elements (local ruffians) from disrespecting you.
If you need a loan, you can consider applying to a rural credit cooperative. Personal small loans (unsecured and unsecured) can be applied for around 10000-50000. If someone guarantees (multiple people can jointly guarantee), you can get higher credit according to the economic and credit status of the guarantor, which means you can get higher loans.
Looking for the government to report can also get a higher amount of loans with the help of government credit.
In addition, raising thousands of chickens is completely different from raising a few chickens. Because epidemic prevention is very important, I suggest you find a feed factory to cooperate and promise to use their feed (chickens need to be supplemented with certain feed in batch farming). In this way, they can provide you with free technical support and may even get the opportunity to use the feed on credit, which can greatly reduce your financial pressure.
