Due to the high cost of things, I will advise you to estimate 1500 per bird till point of lay. It may end up a little bit less than that but you will be within range of your budget.
Also on the profit aspect, you should know they won't feed themselves immediately they start laying however, in doing your estimate, you will assume that they will start feeding themselves from 24weeks and also calculate your profit based on a projection of 75% production. However, their production can reach 85 to 90% if everything is done right.
It's better to base your calculations on this so as not to be disappointed when you don't achieve 100% production at the end of the day or get stuck in the middle even before your birds start laying.
Good luck

I am looking for someone Lagos area, possibly Ogun or Oyo state.. Thanks

Mrjo:
bt did u hav something in place? If yes give me more details

xandy84:
I have nothing in place. I grow up around poultry and I have liking for it. Was thinking it will not be a bad idea to invest a thousand dollar or so and watch it grow. My choice of Lagos or Ogun state is due to close proximity to my family so they can check on it so I will be throwing my money away. Naija not smiling...

Feed alone is apr N900,000.ie
@POL,12kg feed is consumed.
12kg/bird * 500=6000kg of feed,
6000kg divide by 25kgbag=240bags,
240bags *N3,500 a bag=N840,000.
In their whole life on ur farm(17-18 mths),
each bird will consume approx 50kg of feed. Calculate. Meanwhile drugs not included.
