Help! My Poultry Birds Are Dying by netmillionaires(m): 7:32pm On Apr 08 |
I am going to be as brief as possible. I just built a house for my old man around Atan Otta, Ogun state. The back is uncompleted. Last year, he bought some white birds for consumption and none died so I decided to set up a poultry for him so he can keep himself busy as he doesn't like being idle. It was agreed that he should get about 20 birds to test the water before procuring another batch for December business. He got 10 white broiler birds and someone then helped him to source 10 brown births from another source. Unfortunately, the brown birds started dying after a week one after the other. It always starts with the bird gasping for air, then it starts to doze off and die. Today alone two have died. The last bird in the video seems dead this morning. I buried one but the second was still breathing. This evening, I went to check it and noticed that it was shaking its head and trying to get up. If this one dies, it will be the third. What can I do to protect the rest and prevent the birds from dying?

Google about noilers gasping for air before dying and ask the vets around. |

Your birds are suffering from heat stress. The hot weather has serious adverse effects on them that's why you noticed intense gasping, fainting and sudden death. What you need to do: 1. Provide them with ample fresh water, great one if it's chilled 2. Don't over crowd them, consider your stocking density. E.g., don't put five birds in a place that can accommodate two 3.Place your poultry coop or their house/pen in a shade. For instance, if you have banana plants clustered around, take them there. This is because banana/plantain plants naturally produce lots of humidity, so it's always cool. 4.Don't stress them, handle them gently. 5. Incase of next time, buy breeds from reputable hatcheries that are resilient to unfavourable weather. 2 Likes |

Where did you see jumping into business? It was clearly stated that the 20 units is just to see how things go before proceeding to invest in the business. If I wanted to jump into the business, I could have easily stocked a thousand birds and still not lamented if they all died. Every business starts from somewhere and learns through experience gained. The reason I posted this here is to gain experience so that if the birds survive from what is learned here, it would add to the treasure trove of knowledge. Even if you asked questions before starting, no one will be able to tell you everything. You have to be in it and when problems arise, you seek solutions until you have solutions to issues you have personally experienced. And I am not the one managing it, my old man does. Do you want me to ask an over 70-year-old man to go work in poultry to gain experience? Pussyisgud: 1 Like |

My old man has cassava on the lands here and they are doing good. He just wants some livestock even if it is just for consumption. productsrules: |

We don't experience heat here. It is very cool here. I have been here for three days and I don't experience heat except when I go outside in the sun. It is very cool inside so I will rule out the heat. There is no overcrowding. This room is big enough to accommodate 70 to 100 births. The birds are just 20. So I will rule out overcrowding. I observed that he is feeding them pellets which wasn't the case with the successful batch he reared last year. The pellets are too big for birds their size so I asked him to get new feeds or grind the pellets as it might get stuck in their throats. Someone suggested looking out for gaspworms. I will recommend he breed the white ones which he was successful with last year. I know one or two things about poultry like management, organizing, spacing, etc. My only issue is identifying illness and it's recommended treatment. Akinola100: 1 Like |

netmillionaires:The white ones you're saying is broilers and mind you, noilers (the coloured ones that are dying now) are more disease resistant and harsh weather tolerant compared to broilers. . Gasping for air is actually heat stress. The weather is hot everywhere. I would suggest you place them on free range, yes, they can survive on eating insects and bugs with leaves.. . Try giving them butter leaf, scent leaf, ginger and garlic solution. They will be fine. . Here's a link to the thread I opened for my backyard noiler and turkey farming, just to let you know I am speaking from experience https://www.nairaland.com/7541132/backyard-farming-turkey-noiler-guinea 1 Like |

Thanks. Well noted. He has tried the bolded as recommended by a lot of people around but they are still sick. I thought about going free range. I mean taking them outside but the weather is too hot outside but cool inside. Do you think the area in the picture is free range enough? The inside is very cool. He gave them furacare antibiotic this evening. Do you think the flooring might be a problem? RainMoreDFARMS:

Re: Help! My Poultry Birds Are Dying by RainMoreDFARMS(f): 7:02am On Apr 10 |
netmillionaires:the floor is not the issue. . Just try the free range and see, let them walk around, some might be interested in sunbathing, . Outside cannot be too hot for them. |

netmillionaires: I guess you have been able to address the issues happening with your birds. For gapeworms, try making use of ground harbanero pepper into their throats or into their drinking water |
Re: Help! My Poultry Birds Are Dying by DonBenny77(m): 10:25pm On Apr 10 |
netmillionaires:Spend money on feeders and drinkers. So you don't lose all |
Re: Help! My Poultry Birds Are Dying by netmillionaires(m): 7:52am On Apr 11 |
Not yet o. He lost one broiler yesterday. I will try the habanero pepper. I hope that won't be too peppery. Akinola100: |

netmillionaires: Pepper doesn't have spicy 🔥🥵🥵 effects on birds. The pepper will dislodge the Endoparasites and free them from those respiratory worms. You can use garlic and ginger extract too |
