EMMAACHILE:
Had 8 noilers for 5 weeks (17-22 week) and got average of 7 eggs a day. Thats about 87.5% production.

kayo80:


That's good. What was the size of the eggs? And what did you feed them from day old to that point? Also, when did they start laying eggs?

EMMAACHILE:


Started laying at 17 weeks but the egg size was small for about a week. The eggs are a little on the big size

Recommended feed is Chick Mash 0-8 weeks and Grower after 8 weeks.

kayo80:


Okay. Chick mash is same thing as starter feed, right?

EMMAACHILE:

No

NotOfThis:
I don't know anything about this but I wish you good luck.

EMMAACHILE:

Don't try it. Its not good for quick returns

NewDelhi:


Are noilers good for egg production. ? I have a mini farm in my compound. 23 noilers and they are 8 months old. I get an average of 8 eggs a day. Is it normal or a terrible return. And what breed is the best for egg production. Thanks.

brain54:

are the 23 all female noilers? noilers come in both male and females per carton...the number of females out of the 23 would determine if your 8 eggs per day is a terrible return or not...because the males might be more!

NewDelhi:


They are all females.. I've sorted them out. Like I said they are almost 8 months old. Infact today they laid just two. There was a time I was getting 13-14 for like 4 days . I thought they would even improve on that
but they didn't.
I'm just using this to test run.

Poultry no be am at all. How do you people make gains from it.

brain54:

then that's a terrible return...I advice you go for layers if you intend going into egg production... noilers are hardy birds mainly used as meat producers not egg production.

NewDelhi:
What breed exactly do u suggest?

brain54:

you can go for Isa brown layers...you can get those from CHI hatchery.

23 and only 8 eggs a day? That's not cool. Even though female Noilers don't lay as good as the normal Issa brown or black layer, they never did this before when I was using them. At least from the 25 I had at the time, I was getting 20-21 eggs daily. Maybe you didn't feed them well from the beginning. Did you feed them starter for 8 weeks straight from day old?

Anyway, that's in the past now. For business, it is always advsable to go for Issa brown.

brain54:

I think you quoted the wrong person sir.

safarifarms:
Will 25 Issa Brown (Layer) birds produce more than 21 eggs a day?

brain54:

25 layers should give you about 21eggs daily...

safarifarms:
Will 25 Issa Brown (Layer) birds produce more than 21 eggs a day?

kayo80:


Yes

safarifarms:

Ok. In my curriousity I had asked this same question on a WhatsApp group where there are people who are experienced with noiler and they confirmed that 25 can lay 21 eggs a day but that they will individually have break periods of several weeks where they individually won't lay eggs. So the person added that they can't really compete with layers when talking about commercial egg production. What's your take on that?
