We going to learn how to produce broiler birds
To market weight.
It is going to be a step by step approach with pictures.
Note :
1. We buying day old chick's.
2. We brooding by ourselves.
3. It is a 9 weeks project.
4. We need to achieve 2.5-3.0kg of weight at 8weeks.
First we prepare the brooding house. 1m*3m housing space. BROODING is caring for young chick's from day 1 to a month. Provision of extra heat with brooding lamp or stoves plus electric bulbs.
We have to wash the brooding house with soap and disinfectant. The brooding house needs to be covered with black cellophane to reduce heat loss. Our aim is to provide enough heat for the survival of the young chick's. This is done 1 week to the arrival of the chick's.
2. Wood shavings should be placed in the brooding house and heat stove n the electric bulbs 8hrs to the arrival of the chick's
3. Place the drinkers and feeders inside the brooding house.
4. Use flat trays as the feeder.
5. The stove and electric bulbs should be on.

There should be enough light so the birds can eat

Everything seems right except for d black cellophane, it would have been white.. So dat during d day the birds will be able to see well wen feeding. Good job

Please, is wood shavings better or saw dust?

Good job. ^ wood shaving shud be use. Saw dust will harm if they eat it.

Thanks bro for the apt reply.

Today Friday 2015/06/19 , made it the fivth day of our brooding.
So far we have lost 3 birds.
On the first 3 days of d chicks life,
: Put Vatalyte in their water, it is an anti-stress n glucose can also be used.
Enough light shld be provided also

why not use coal pot instead of using stove,I think coal pot is better cos d last time I used stove I lost 25 chicks.more options will be welcomed.tanks

let us have ur vaccination program. Nice job.

Ok

Nice one.

those r pets dat last for six months only


after which we match dem for slaughter

Hmm! I still prefer Cockrels sha! Broilers did me strong thing when I tried them last year...I almost lost my mind when I had to keep digging up holes in my garden to bury chicks. Hey, I ain't trying to discourage anyone, just letting people know there are challenges. Although my Cockrels take 5 months to reach maturity, I have a very low mortality rate. Sometimes, I don't even lose any chicks at all. I mean, I buy 100 Day Old Chicks, and when it is time to sell, I have 100 grown chickens to sell.

Its black that is recommended cos it retain heat
But my problem with this business is that after 8weeks market women will be pricing it btwn 1000 and 1100 if it has enough waight 1200

I'm paying attention and taking notes. My family run a little poultry at home, there'd definitely be a thing or 2 i'd pick up to teach them. Nice thread OP.
