He was like if u do 100 birds u will sell by easter, den u will sell d remaing during Ramadan festival, may b den ileya if left den come down to sell for Christmas again. I cannot faint as water no too dey around.
But God is not a man, I just carry d okada wey I borrow turn back come house come dey think den I went to anoda woman she spoke well tho but kind of related to what d first man said. She actually asked me to target only season periods like easter, ileya n d likes but would I not feed my self b4 all dis period.

Poultry is a very good business in Nigeria but it depends also on your environment.
Don't make the mistake most people in this business make whereby they rear chickens for the festive periods alone and by that time, a lots might have happened to the chickens plus during the festive period, there are a lot of sellers and you might even be pushed to reduce the selling price of the chicken which might be a loss to you in the end.
Poultry business needs more of reasoning and knowing your way around

you said it all.rearing broilers only in festive season isnt lucrative.a broiler dat weighs 1.7kg is good to be eaten.it sells fast.imagine when u rear broilers for 4months nd put them for sale at 5k.every body mentality go be lyk ''e no beta say i buy goat meat 5k''.so you see.but its all left to u to make ur chioce.

No bros.u dont neccesarily have to do that..you can go to d market nd inform those people that do sell fowl dat u have birds ranging from so so kg.
you can also approach this restaurants nd hotels.tell them about ur product convince them to buy.as time goes on.people customers will start approaching.i was shocked wen a client came dwn to port harcourt all d way frm aba to buy my birds.with time customers wont be ur worries.you just worry abt neva running out of stocks.broiler.fishery nd snailery issa goldmine.d markets dey ground.

I mean sometimes when chickens are kept for a longer time, they might die or get unnecessarily sick and you would have to spend more money on them
Poultry is good if you have people you can supply on regular basis e.g restaurants, schools, government agencies like somebody mentioned above.

Poultry farming is very lucrative if done in the right way.
1. Conduct a very good market research, study your environment
2. Go and learn from people that are already in the business
3. Create what makes your own product unique
