Good evening everyone, I wanted to seek for advice and also to know d estimate amount I'll use to invest on the poultry.
I was a salary earner and I felt my salary aren't meeting my needs, so I want to try poultry business.
I've a land and that's y I wanted to start from a little (100 broiler birds) just for the start.
How can I take care of dem without having more dan 5% death of d birds.
Plus the building and 100birds till point of sell, how much will I need and how much gain can I see?
I'll appreciate any contributions and advice. Thanks

Morning. I will advice you start small if you are novice. Start with maybe 20-30 birds to learn and make neccessary adjustment. You don't wont to get it wrong with 100 birds believe me.

Secondly, know you market. I repeat, know your market. This cannot be over emphasised. If you rear 100 birds for 8 weeks or more and you couldn't get buyer.. Then expected profit will be used to buy more feeds to sustain the birds and you end up doing all the hardwork for nut.

So be guided and carry out due diligent.
As to a profit aspect,

Price of day old chick is usually btw 200-260 so let say = 24000 for 100 birds.

A bird consumed about approximately 6.8kg feed to attain 2.5-3kg in seven weeks, if you feed 24/7

So, 100 birds= 6.8×100
= 680kg which is 27.2 bags of feed.

If a bag cost 3800 averagely, then 30 bags is 103,360
Cost of drugs and vaccine = 10,000

Miscellaneous = 5,000

Total = 142,360

Mortality= 10%

if sold for 2500, then averagely the 90 birds will yield= 225000

Profit = 82,640

Note. This is just an estimate.. And I didn't factor in your fixed cost
Which will include
Cost of building a pen..
Cost of drinkers
Cost of feeders
Cost of land...

So the first production might not really yield any profit per say. But as times goes on, you will learn alot and gain alot too.

If you need a proper feasibility plan. I can help with that.
But not free o
