Poultry Production: The Dangers of Cutting Corners

When it comes to poultry production virtually all poultry farmers especially backyard and small flock homestead owners have had one bitter experience or the other during their learning curve and to a larger extent it has everything to do with cutting corners to maximize profit.
The success of any poultry venture has to do with three cardinal points:

- Health of the birds.
- The quantity and quality of the feed used.
- Housing facility.
Several years back when we started poultry farming at a subsistence level we never considered buying drugs for our birds to be a serious issue.

We lost several of our birds to this common and highly preventable disease coccidiosis.

When you live in a humid wet region especially during the raining season couple with a leaking roof or poorly constructed chicken coop that allows rain drops into the chicken coop, thereby making the litter damp and wet.
