Hi everyone, have been following this blog for quite a long time. Presently, I am starting up a small poultry farm with my brother in Edo state. although, I am not on ground in Nigeria but, have made a lots of research regarding poultry business in Nigeria.
We are going for layers. Starting with a thousand birds. The birds arrive today and we are brooding them in my car park hoping to transfer them to the temporary shed we are constructing in the compound. This is test run for my brother to get some experience. If everything goes well, then we can then build a proper poultry house that can hold three thousand birds. We are documenting all our expenses regarding the cost of the farm. I will upload some pics soon

Hi Guys
sorry i listed the farrm for sale because i was sad about my experience. i want to take things slow and shut down any farming activity on the farm for now and sell of the birds. as i said the cost of starting the farm was 3.5m and i am getting offers from nairaland users for 500k. thats a real bad offer. i might as well dash the farm to the needy if thats the only offer on ground
when things settle i will relist the farm for sale definately cuz i dont want to do farming business ever again
thanks

Good day experts in the house. My layers will be 23 weeks old tomorrow Thursday and one of them just drop egg today meanwhile my battery cage just arrive today too. Hope is not too late to transfer them to battery cage now, and won't affect their production capacity. Can i still deworm them?

Do poultry farming especially layers chicken farming and you will not regret it...Guaranteed!
Do not listen to those who tell you that it is an impossible business or a gamble.It is monumental ignorance to say so.That story belongs to the past.These days, many are doing it better informed and are getting better results without stress.
You will do well in it if you know the variables that make it work and put the right structures in place.
Layers Chicken farming for egg production is one of the most viable small scale businesses in Nigeria and the easiest to set up
The market for eggs is guaranteed in Nigeria. It is a large and inexhaustible market.

For valuable free details about the potentialities in chicken farming in Nigeria and how to set up and operate profitably,visit the 1st signature below
With N1million, you can start with 500 layers.Half million naira for the fixtures and half million naira for the operating/running cost. One person can handle a 500 layers chicken farm if he is hard working.
A healthy layers chicken will lay eggs daily for more than a year and you will sell the layer chicken at the end of egg production for N1000.00

You can also do broiler chicken farming for meat production
They can be sold at 7 weeks old @ N900.00 minimum
U may rear up to 12-14 weeks and sell during Christmas for N3000.00
