Pls l want start rearing cockerel referable white.. I'll have love to rear broiler but I don't have enough space and time but with the little knowledge I have about cockerel I think it's will be easy and how much is the cost of day old chick

price of cockrell 120 to 240 pending on period and seasons

risk is same as cockrell, they die easily also.
profitability: not so high, although there are people who value the worth but are few and only if you can get them.
since you have little time to attend to them.

I'll advise you go for noiler.
they grow almost as broilers and are much stronger than broilers and cockrell.
in fact the female ones lay eggs after 6-7 months.

try Noiler out and see.

Find out about Noiler on this agric forum and go for that , that might be what you want

Check wit poultryplaza.com. white cockerel is currently @70 per doc. They are also on facebook. But I guess u really know what u are in for because as a newbie, u are most likely to run at a huge loss trying to make cockerel(white) profitable especially when u have up to 50 pieces. Broilers are still easiest to manage and more profitable.

@diamondedu, don't be discouraged. Go for Cockerels. Cockerels are very sturdy and they do not fall sick easily like Broilers. There are white cockerels and spotted cockerels. What you need to do is to give them the necessary medicines like Vitamins, Lasota etc. Also, you can have a mix of food for the Cockerels e.g giving them left over food and Efo Ogi ( chaff from making Pap ). Look for Pap Sellers and Eko makers in your area. They will have the left over from making Pap to sell to you. You can give this Left over ( Pap Chaff ) to your Cockerels two days of the week while you give them the normal Chicken grower feed on the other 5 days. You will save money this way. Broilers have more issues when raising them than Cockerels. If you raise your Cockerels well, they will be big and meaty. Trust me, I am speaking from experience. There are a lot of tricks for raising Cockerels successfully. Cockerels kill rats that trouble poultry businesses easily. Cockerels are also active and alert than Broilers that will just be sitting down in a corner all the time. There are threads on how to raise Cockerels on Nairaland. Cheers.
