You can use the water but if it's dirty, use white clothes or cotton wool to filter it.
I have been following this thread for a while and i really learn a lot. Pls, i have an issue.
I had 7 broilers up to 5kg each and i intend selling them this december, but the unfortunate thing that happened was that i came home in the evening and found all the broilers dead inside the cage. Although, this is my first attempt to start with but, it was a big shock to me.

Pls, what could have happened?

Thank you, but dont they stand the chance of having a diseases if the water is contaminated. It is a flowing river, and people might have dumped alot of contaminants.

My birds have not fully recovered from their pox infection but they are due for their monthly lasota now.. What do I do Should I suspend their treatment for now n vaccinate them or wait for it to completely dry up.

Please do not vaccinate sick birds. Treat them first and vaccinate when they have recovered. Good luck

Do not vaccinate the birds if they still sick.
They will die.

Negotiating with a farmer in Kaduna to get live chicken transported from his farm to Abuja transportation is at 19000 for 400 birds. He has a total of 2800 birds .We both agree that we will split the cost. So that's like 24 naira per bird on my part. I also have a place in Madalla close to the market where the birds will stay on arrival so the mallams can come check it out.

My plan is to resell wholesale to mallams around me.Already have 4 mallams willing to buy but they insist they have to see it before they talk price
The farmer has asked me to say how much i propose to buy from him . I know a six week old broilers (shooters)will be like 1.8 -2.0 kg live weight.
How much will you recommend I buy these 6weeks old from the farmer? He also says he has normal ones like 1.3-1.4 live weight. Do u think getting from Kaduna makes sense? The advantage is that he is willing to let me pay him in bits. Any advice please?
Why don't you look for farmers around Abuja axis instead since there are lots of farms in Abuja. I feel that will be better because those mallams can frustrate life out of you by offering very low prices. Also, you can try and get hotels or eateries in abuja so that you can supply to them directly. That way, you will make more profit than calling the mallams. Good luck

Thank you sir for the response.Yes you are absolutely right. But farms in Abuja want cash. Since Im getting on credit more or less from Kaduna. I want to take advantage of that opportunity.
I actually have two hotels I supply to but size they require are 1.5-1.6kg dressed weight so I just supply them the likes of Zartech, Big sam etc

Although one restaurant wants 150 dressed birds of 1-1.3 kg so I will be giving them from that also.I just thot with the mallams i can sell faaster even if margin not much as long im able to sell off large volumes. Sometimes most of the restaurants and hotels never pay on time.
I recently just got a shop in Dutse and want to be selling only dressed farm fresh well packaged (shrink bags)with all the giblets included size 1-1.2kg perhaps if the mallam are not speaking good money I'll kill/dress them all and put in my cold room hopefully I will be able to sell all before year runs out. Any tip on strategic marketing will be appreciated smiley . Thank you for your time.

Yes getting your own shop and packaging them will go a long way in boosting your revenue so far you can always power your cold room. About the Abuja farmers wanting cash, well i dont blame them cos most of those mallams do owe a lot and never pay on time. So it all depends on the kind of trust you create between you and the farmer as well as your terms of payment cos atleast a lot of farmers do supply to hotels and all and they don't pay immediately. Anyway its a lucrative business so far you can do the running around and package them and most importantly, by limiting your dealings with the mallams. Thank you

There are different breeds of broilers, we have the fast growers and we also have those that dont mature to table size until they are 8 weeks or thereabouts. So maybe that's the issue here. Also, which feed are you using? It might be a determinant.

The name of the birds is AGRITED.....thats what I used in the first batch and I started selling them by 5 weeks.
For the feeds....im using TOP FEEDS.
Is there any suggestion of boosters to use to make them grow fast and heavy because they are so light and they resemble our native birds which can eat very well but not growing fast....please help

The feed is okay and agrited birds are good too but anyway, Yes there are different boosters you can mix with their feeds or in their water. Just enter any vet shop and ask. Eg maxigrowth or something like that and you can be giving them multivitamins as well. All the best

Greetings poo, goes to show u that ur birds has Newcastle disease. Go to a vet n get a drug for that n add vitamin to it, since they are weak. Add it powdery to the feed. Treat for three day. After three day, treat them with Lakota. Good luck
