Not for 100 o! I was giving you information for the last batch I did, which was 50 chicks from day old. And I got the white ones, not the black ones. I got them to 2.2kg each.

pcoolioz:



oh okay thanks so much...I think I have all I need, I assumed it was the black cos we asked for price of white day old and they were 5n per one.
so like 250 for a carton, that's why I assumed..maybe different seasons sha.

kay29000:

5Naira? Are you serious? And I was getting mine for 30Naira per one. Please which state are you?

pcoolioz:


Lagos, but we asked chi farms, which is in ib i guess, the white as about a week ago when we called was 5n and the black was 25..maybe you always buy through an agent ..

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 they 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.

poor management practice is probably what made you loose your birds,i have a small farm, when I started I usually loose 15 percent of the birds I bring, but when I did a seminar on biosecurity, I realized I have been killing my birds..lol..but now, with God on my side, if I bring 200 birds, by week 8 I will have 197 left.

Twinmama:
Infos here are resourceful. I'm planning on starting mine Oct 15, so I can do xmas sale. I have read through. I will still need your infos as time goes on. Keep it up

I intend starting on that same date too. If you don't mind, you can carry me along with all your processes.
Thanks

Aspiring Broilers Farmer here... A couple of questions for the house:
Must all vaccination be administer via injection (with a syringe) ? Are there alternatives to this method?
Can I get the formula(itemized) for these set of feeds(Starter, Grower, Finisher) ?
I hope to start with 50 birds what technical advices/instructions can you give to me ?
Can I know the most ideal brooders' pen for 50 DOCs?
@ Goldenboy842 @ atama27
Thanks.
NOTE: I intend to test-run with 50 chicks and if they turn out well, I may go on a fairly large scale. So your help will be well appreciated

larrypourl:
for those asking for feed. broiler starter from week 1 to 4-5weeks, then you start with broiler finisher.(top feed is advisable, its expensive but you'll get your result).
vaccination programs
1. gumboro I on 7th day of arrival.
2. coccidiostant to be administered on day 12.
3. NDV Lacota on 3weeks.
4. Gumboro II on 4th week.
5. dewormer. on 6-7 days after gumboro II is administered.
6. you use growth promotant or booster which allows them to convert the feed into flesh faster.

NOTE.
After administering any vaccines you give them biovit or vitalyte the following day so as to reduce the stress they went through during the process and all the vaccination equipment should be properly disposed and those that need washing should be washed with disinfectant because if you don't they are live virus/bacterial. and you bury the container housing the vaccine too., if it drops on the wool shaving make sure you pack that part immediately and replace with dry ones.

Once you can practice hygiene in poultry you'll surely succee

Goldenboy842:

YOU don't need injection to vaccinate broilers as you not keeping them for more than 3 months.
It is advisable to use commercial feed for a start.
. Starter 1-4 weeks.
. Grower 4-6th Week ( optional)
. Finisher 6th-10th week.

tuk2ato:
Please Sir, at what stage of life should the starter, grower and finisher be introduced to broiler birds and how much does Amo sell the 3 different classes of feeds above? The op didnt talk about finisher feeds, is it that finisher feeds isnt really important? Thank you.

macdot:

It depends on how many weeks you intend rearing them for, however if its for 8 weeks, starter is for the first 4 weeks while finisher is for the last 4 weeks.

crownzade:
