hello boss, pls help with this issue, i got about 90 POL birds in april, but till today i have not gotten up to 100% laying, the highest i get is 80 eggs, what can i do to get the rest to lay

obnelly:
This is the problem with farmers who fails to raise with from another source.I still believe in DO it yourself.Anyway what I will advice you is to improve their lightning programme.
How many bags of feed are they eating per day and what is the liters of water .If they are not looking as in this picture they will not lay.
check the comb and wattle are they brighter?Give them extra feed and be patient .

miqos02:
thank you, i feed them 10kg of feed daily

obnelly: The first three months of chicken(layers) is very paramount to their laying cycle .The right spacing,heating system,ammonia build up in the pen,depth of wood shavings,feeding,water consumption and lightning plus vaccination.Most breeder dont care about this, all they are after is to feed irregular feed , inadequate water, poor spacing ,lightning to this chicken after 3months you pick them as point of lay and you start facing the headache when you suppose to start making your money gradually.
If you have 8 eggs the next day it should increase to 10 thereafter to 13 eggs.On no condition should you stay on 8eggs for more than a week except if those chicken are not hatched the same day or week.I hope you get my gist.If all things being equal you should have you eggs flowing gradually till you hit 88-90%.The highest you can have is 90 -98% you cant have 100% production.If its still 88% you arent doing bad.

basking4me: Many thanks Limeone,

Nice to know that i have someone who is feeling what I am feeling at this stage too.

My farm is in lagos but we have a new and bigger facility very close to atan in Ota area of ogun state. You really must be feeling the bite harder than me cos of your current stock level.

I realy wouldnt mind us comparing notes. Regards.

The Shootist:

Thanks a lot sir. Got that. If you happen to know any good feedmill around there pls do not hesitate to drop the address Ciao

obnelly: I just reread you post now you said 80eggs out of 90 point of lay .I thought its 8eggs.Then if its 80eggs you are not doing bad.what it means is that is your peak value.80/90*100=88.9%.you are stillon course.

Idango: Hi guys, thank you all for contributing to this great thread, i am also an intending poultry farmer. My interest is the broiler, but i keep hearing every body saying there is no market ( both on this forum and outside) and i just wonder why. I was listening to a fast food owner not long ago and he said there is shortage of chicken for meat and he gave example of the fact that the largest chicken processing plant in South Africa process about 1,000,000 chicken a day while the largest chicken processing plant in Nigeria which is in Lagos process about 35,000 chicken a day ( can you imagine that) and our population is tripled that of south Africa.

So what exactly is the problem, food sellers are saying no enough meat, farmers are saying no market. Please can somebody help shed light cos i believe the main money in this business is on the broiler.

samshoz: Great farmers, which formula is cost effective for poultry, i have like 70 birds(Broilers and cockerel), they feed(25 kg bag:N2,400- weekly) like birds on a suicide mission, due to over eating lol. Its eating deep into my pocket and they are 22 days old today. Any advice on how to save cost and still feed them effectively? Pls dnt ignore like u did my questn earlier.

n0m0705:
I am no longer milling feed myself as I prefer the ready made feed but I can vouch for "graceline", you will see the signpost opposite GTBank at oju ore.

Marco-P :
Fellow farmers in the house. Thank you for keeping this thread alive. I have been busy with a few things.
The good news is that my birds have not disappointed. They have started delivering the golden eggs.
I owe a lot of appreciation to this thread for all the advise and knowledge shared. It went a long way to see me through this project.
My birds are in their 25th week now. I hope to share more details later. Mortality is only about 2%. Is God not wonderful?
