Poultry farming as been a profitable form of farming in Nigeria, even though it comes with so more risk especially for beginner who don’t know have experience raising birds especially broilers.
There is so many things that goes into raising chicks, that increase the risk of raising broilers that can be avoided especially for newbies,
1. It gives a good estimate of space needed for the raising: It is so easy to think that you need little space especially of first timers after receiving the chicks. But Note broilers take a lot of space and it is much more easy to determine this space and behavior when you get them around 2 kg
2. Draft usage: Bird in 6-8 wks does not require the use of draft, as they are not so susceptible to the weather and can be more easy to take care of, unlike chick which is advisable you keep in brooding temperature
3. Poultry house bedding: Has you seen birds in cartoon and on newspaper, that is because intensive care are still been administered to them, if you are not a professional you might not get all this right. Infact some 4wks broilers do feed on litter thinking it is food. But at an age like 8wks the chicken is more adaptable to its surrounding.
4. 6-8wks are trained already: Just like any animal birds to get trained as they mature, no constant need for light or high temperature at this stage and they wouldn’t unnecessarily mount on each other like chick could if there is no light
5. No ration calculation: At this stage of 2kg or above birds are not forced to a shift ration order, as for chicks for few days they have to talk a lot of water and less food all, this will not be a concern and worries if you get them in a later age. At 6-8wks you can just give them finisher and see the result of nature coming out of them

If you want to enjoy a stress free very overweight Christmas chicken, and you are not a professional farmer, who wants to be disturbed with space and constant birds checking up. While reducing the risk of mortality, I advise you go for 6-8wks broilers and if you are looking for a place to get that, no other place than www.daydone.com.ng as we are at your fingertip and we get all your needed Agric produces to your doorstep.
