kellykelly: Am using deep litter for now. Upon improved production, I plan to take sales proceeds to buy battery cages.

Farm size I'd approx 5 plots - just in line with the standard of 3 birds/sq m.
Pen-house is divided into 4 rooms of 50m x 20m each, each housing 1,000 birds.

The birds are 22 weeks old and are currently on growers mash.

I fed them heavily from 0- 3mths but have reduced it to 0.05kg/bird/day instead of 0.11/bird/day.

confluence: dear All,
To all who have made the post interesting and learnin the basics of poultry farming easy i say well done.
I have followed this thread for about 9 months since the day fnk talked about his speacial feed or drug so to say, i have never rear chickens before but out of curious regarding fnk findings, i did a bit of reserach i found a company who sells s feed premix for chickens , i made purchase and im currently testing out this premix on my chicken (about ten chickens )
I was suppose to start the trial on day old chicken but i could not lay hands on where to purchase day old chicken all i did was found a woman who hawk chickens around town and i made purchase of 10 birds.It was suppose to be broilers but later find out that they are cockerels from a friend who came visiting. Pardon me i did not take pictures of these birds when i purchase them 2weeks ago and they where real small, they are 2weeks old with me now (the seller told me they are 4weeks before i purchase them)
I just wanted to share their current pictures with you guys after applying the feed premix i purchased and i can see a very rapid growth in them

Bigboytinz: helo,i appreciate all the stuff u guys are contributing,can anyone help a brother on formula for broiler feed (i) starter and (b) finisher. one love.

And I am not sharing the fomular of my V-mix, the other info will be useful to you and give you an idea to get you going. Also remember I did this couple years ago, so some of the prices have changed, so you will need to adjust to the current market prices of the different items.

Good luck
